Not the point of that article, but I prefer the full sized SD cards. You could comfortably hold them and there was space to write on a label. MicroSDs are too small and fiddly to handle.
- leansensei 2y agoYes! In my mind's eye, the SD card format and size is what I imagined floppy disks would eventually become, only with massively higher storage capacities. Less easy to lose compared to MicroSD cards, too.
- stavros 2y agoBut much harder to put in a phone.
- actionfromafar 2y agoI would gladly sacrifice a few cubic millimetres to get an SD slot in my phone.
- stavros 2y agoIt wouldn't be a few, it would make your phone twice as thick.
- crtasm 2y agoMy phone has slots for two full size sim cards and a microSD next to the removable battery. I feel confident it could have had a full SD card without affecting the overall thickness (9.4mm)
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoI wouldn't. There's no point to having a slot in a phone for a temporary peripheral. Plenty of storage can be built into the phone and there's no reason to make it water vulnerable for such an infrequent use. If you want to connect it, use an adapter.
- maratc 2y agoMicroSD to (full-size) SD adapters exist.
- jhbadger 2y agoAnd are generally included with every MicroSD card in fact.
- ThatPlayer 2y agoAnyone else remember the original Raspberry Pi used full sized SD cards? I ripped the slot off the card with the leverage you could get with the full sized SD card.
- wink 2y agoI was about to post "is that correct with only the original having a full-size SD slot?" but apparently the only RPi I ever owned was a 1 model B and not a 3. That would explain why I found it to be a bit slow when I last used it :P
