SD & SDHC Cards
« on: April 04, 2009, 11:46:33 AM »
What is the difference between the flash memory storage cards SD & SDHC? The reason I ask is because I have a Sat-Nav that says it takes up 4Gb SD cards. But as far as I can tell 4Gb SD cards are SDHC, now I have an 8Gb SDHC and am totally confused as to whether it will work or not.

(I realise that this is a computer forum but if it makes anyone feel any better then I'll let you know that my Sat-Nav runs on Windows CE [and therefore must be a computer :p ].

SD is older- SDHC needs different logic control. an SDHC accepting device can take SD- if it does it will be labelled with SDHC. if it is just labelled with SD then you cannot use a SDHC card with it.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Is there such a thing as a 4Gb SD card then?

I thought that the point of SDHC was to break through a memory barrier?
