Photobank/4 gig cards

whitedog · 01-06-2011, 07:32 AM

I searched for the thread where someone asked about using larger than 2 gig cards with a FAT32 formatted photobank. I have a 40 gig photobank, with a Delkin SD to CF adapter. I regularly back up 4 gig cards using the adapter, which was around $20 dollars from Amazon. Sorry for not adding to the other thread, but I couldn't find it.

With my Smartdisk Photobank it's a limitation of the hardware that's the issue - can't read SDHC - hence can't read bigger than 2meg cards in the SD slot. What size CF are you using?

I use SDHC 4 gig cards in a Delkin SD to CF adapter which plugs into the compact flash slot of the photobank. The CF slot with adapter correctly reads/transfers from SDHC cards.
