+grateful cacher Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The hc on SD cards is referring to cards that are greater than 4gb in size. When SD cards were first released, they were no larger than 4gb. When the technology allowed a greater capacity, it also required the hardware using those cards to change as well. That is why those cards are labled hc (high capacity). You'll notice that SD, microSD, and miniSD cards that are <2gb do not have the HC label on them. Those 4gb and larger do. That is to prevent older devices that cannot support the HC standard from using them. I have an iPaq h4155 PDA that will accept a 4gb SD card (non-HC) but it will not work with a 4gb SDHC card -again, due to the hardware requirements to using SDHC cards. It was mostly a problem with cameras. But the 200 series will support microSD/microSDHC cards up to at least 16gb (heck of an overkill). Quote Link to comment
