Is there a limit to the size of an SD card you can have in an SPV?

[Guest Vector]

Nope, i don't think so....... :)

Can someone give me a simple explanation of what an SD card is made of and how you can store 512MB on the same size card as your 256MB jobbie.

Before you start, can I just say that my first year uni computer course involved punching holes in cards and taking them to the nice lady :oops:

What I'm trying to understand is the pricing I suppose

The pricing is mainly down to paying for development costs, ie the latest

size cards are the most recent advances in technology so the initial price

is also higher.

There is also the old supply and demand that can keep the price high.

What'a actually inside that plastic sleeve ? Magnetic metal disc ? Just wondering how you 'physically' put twice as much data on the same size card :?:

SD (Secure Digital) memory cards are the latest generation memory devices that offer an incredible combination of high storage capacity, fast data transfer rates, great flexibility and excellent security in a memory card about the size of a postage stamp! Based on nonvolatile memory components and encased in a protective molding they do not require power to retain the information stored on them. Since they are based on solid-state components they have no moving parts to skip or break down making them highly reliable.

As for the twice the memory this is simply down to new technology and

components getting small etc.

Cheers :)

I must do some reading on this.

Back on topic, is anyone using the 1GB cards yet ?
