Top 5 Factors to Consider When Shopping for Bulk Micro SD Cards  

When purchasing micro SD cards, take time to explore options and find the right ones for your needs. 

First, identify the purpose of these micro cards. This helps determine the required class, size, and read-write speeds. Note that not all MicroSD and SD cards include adapters and plastic jewel cases. Add wallets and memory card readers to your order just in case.  

Micro SD cards are versatile and used in many electronic devices. They are compatible with mobile phones, cameras like GoPros, audio recorders, laptops, and DSLR cameras using adapters and card readers. While you can use MicroSD cards in devices that use standard SD cards, avoid relying on adapters permanently. 

When to use a MicroSD Card?

MicroSD cards work in some netbooks, Chromebooks, small digital video camcorders, small digital cameras, digital picture frames, game consoles, and MP3 players. Since 2006, MicroSD cards have been used as a discrete or simple way to add or expand storage to your device. Many manufacturers such as GoPro and Raspberry Pi have opted to move away from full size SD cards to MicroSD cards for their size advantage on small form factor devices. Although some people view the MicroSD card as the evolution of the SD card, they exist simultaneously. 

MicroSD vs Standard SD  

MicroSD cards are about one-quarter the size of standard SD cards. They’re designed for mobile devices and compact electronics, while full-size SD cards are suited for professional digital cameras, handheld camcorders, and laptops. As previously mentioned, MicroSD cards have a size advantage compared to full size SD cards on devices where space is limited. However, MicroSD cards have less heat dissipation surface area and can overheat more. MicroSD card manufacturers make sure to test their MicroSD cards in many conditions and often claim they are temperature proof, x-ray proof, and waterproof. The other major difference between Standard SD and MicroSD is the write-lock switch on the SD card. A MicroSD card does not have a write lock switch.
