I have a 2GB SD Card (for ebooks, docs and applications), 4GB Microdrive (for musics and videos) installed on my X50. Recently, I am watching a lot of videos (TV series, youtube, etc) on my X50, and the capacity of my 4GB Microdrive is the obvious limitation there. And my laptop has a built-in 4-in-1 card adapter ( CF Card not supported). This makes the SDHC my priority for capacity and convenience sake.:)
The OS on my X50 is PPC2003SE and it has no native SDHC driver, so I bought a 16GB SDHC and a SD/SDHC to CF Adapter from eBay.
CF Adapter:
SDHC/SD/MMC to CompactFlash CF Card Adapter Converter - eBay (item 280204933168 end time Mar-02-08 09:22:06 PST)
SDHC Class 6:
150X 16GB ADATA Turbo SDHC Class6 Memory Card 16 G GB - eBay (item 190201819758 end time Mar-03-08 06:30:24 PST)
It is very easy to use. The SDHC can easily fit in the CF Adapter. And when I inserted the CF Adapter into the CF slot in my X50, the OS recognized it as a CF Card and reported a total of 15.40GB storage. Now I have 2GB SD + 16GB SDHC and I am really happy with them. SDHC is super fast. Write speed is 10MB/s on my laptop, so it saved a lot of time for me to transfer large video files from my laptop to the SDHC card. And the copying speed between my SD and SDHC is 1MB/s on X50, I think it's because the SD Card is slower than SDHC.
PS. SD and SDHC consume less power than my 4GB Hitachi Microdrive. The battery lasts longer. It is awesome! :approve:I am wondering if this SDHC + CF Adapter can be used in a DSLR camera. If so, it will be cooler. :love:
