sdcard - Are there any disadvantages to using a microSD card with an adapter as opposed to a SD card?


... for the purpose of being able to show the pictures just taken on a tablet, which takes microSD cards?


Are there any disadvantages to this approach one should be aware of?



Answer



The main disadvantages are:




  • Slower speeds available in the microSD format as compared to full size SD

  • Additional cost of the microSD format

  • The addition of another piece that can fail, be lost, etc.

  • The microSD cards are so small that some people are afraid of losing them or breaking them easily


In today's market, the first two points are typically less of an issue than in the past. If you have a compelling reason to use microSD, then I would say go for it.
