micro SDHC cards and adapters?
Hi all,
I'm considering buying a big card (16GB) for my forthcoming iRex DR1000S. Since the difference in price is almost nil, I think it's more practical to use a microSDHC card in a microSD -> SD adapter, just in case you need to plug the card somewhere else. I have like 10 of these microSDHC cards and adapters at home, and none of them are recognized in my current DR1000S no matter what. Of course, the cards and adapters are fully functional. Anyway, all of my cards are 4 or 8GB, and my current unit still has the old v1.7 firmware (and I won't update it for a while), but I'll surely try the latest versions of everything on the new one. So, any experiences on the limits of the DR1000S card reader, micro+adapter vs SD card types, fw version dependency, etc? Thanks in advance. Last edited by MrWarper; 11-02-2011 at 11:32 PM. |

I just found a class 10 32GB SDXC card for $22, which is even more interesting than a class 6 16GB microSDHC for $20... BTW I'm still interested in any experiences with microSDHC, so don't shy away guys |

I don't know about MicroSD adapters, but I'm sure the DR won't work with SDXC. This requires different hardware than the DR provides.

I can confirm what andre8x8 says since I have the same configuration on my DR1000, see number 7 on the list by grimulkan

Anyway, I've just been doing some tests on my 'for parts' unit (cracked screen). Judging from some short-circuit fixes on motherboard that are absent in the working one, it has slightly older hardware, but firmware v2.0rc3 on it. 4 and 8GB microSDHC in a microSDHC -> SD adapter are recognized and can be browsed, whereas they choked my work unit. Class 2 cards with lots of folders almost grind it to a halt but that's another story. I think I'll buy another microSDHC card; if it doesn't work with the new DR I'll use it to replace smaller capacity cards that do work with the reader, and be done with it -- I don't really need everything on one card, and swapping them once in a while can't be that bad. I'll report back in a couple of weeks, when I get the card and (hopefully) my new DR. Thank you all! Last edited by MrWarper; 11-03-2011 at 01:59 AM. |
