Would you use a Micro SD card with adapter all the time if it was cheaper than a regular SD card?

or do you feel that is 'ghetto' to use the adapter full time (like in a camera, etc)?

I can use a microSD card anywhere, with an adapter (camera and computer) or a usb drive adapter (car and computer). The same can't be said of a full size card, which won't fit in my phone or my car stereo.

They're more versatile, so they're all I have.

@rprebel: i am 50/50, i have some microSD cards and some SD cards, but someone looked at me crazy one time i took the microSD card with adapter out of my camera and asked me if I actually use that all the time. performance isn't compromised so I figured the woot community would be a good place to see if I was the only one...

Electrically, a microSD in an adaptor and a full-size SD are the same (or nominally so), yet the microSD with adaptor is much more versatile.

As to whether or not it is "ghetto," I cannot say. It is certainly more intelligent, especially if it is less expensive.

I don't have any full-size SD cards. I think my daughter has one.

I've often wondered if there was any performance difference, but I've used the same 2gb card for my camera ever since I got it four years ago, and I haven't bought any SD cards, micro or otherwise, in the meantime. The only things that I use that need them came with full size cards, and I haven't been able to convince myself to buy any even at the ridiculously good prices they're at now.

I don't see any reason not to. An SD card is an SD card.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
