SD card in slot or not?

I have a LEXAR 1GB Fast 32X SD and was wondering if leaving the card in 24/7 is recommended or are there any drawbacks and should it be taken out after use?

Thanks for your input!

I can't say specifically about your card, but I've used a Compact Flash card for years in my old HP Jornada 540 without taking it out more than 4-5 times total. Never lost any data or had any problems.

I plan to leave my 1Gb Kingston 60x SD card in my Axim X30H unless I want to move it to another digital device for temporary storage or file transfer, just as I did with the old CF/Jornada combination.

I also figure it's best not to handle (insert/remove/etc) the card more than necessary. Less chance of static electricity and physical damage that way.

Just leave it in, except for large File Transfers

.....for which you'll be wanting a Card Reader hooked up to your PC.

....'cause you'll grow a beard waiting for ASync.

The following link will take you to buy.com for the 32X Lexar 1 GB. It's currently at $81. You should wait for a rebate to come around for it.

I leave mine in for normal use, but lately, since the Kingmax 60X i take it in and out alot, as i have transfered several movies on and off the card. Very fast card.
Palm M100 --> Palm M125 --> Toshiba E335 --> Axim X30 High --> Axim X50v

reading/writing to it will use batterty power but the drainage is so slight you wouldn't notice. Not to mention it will need to be in the device for reding/writing anyway
So yeah you can leave it in as long as you like. In fact, it's probably better because it will stop dirt from getting in.
