    I have an nc8430, nc8510p, and nc6910p. Since I don't have a search button, and can't search at the moment, can someone answer if the SD and SDHC are compatible with all? Is there a size limit? 4G, 8G? Any brand recommendations?

    Transcend, Patriot and Adata are good brands. Their SDHC cards are pretty good. The highest capacity that you can buy is 16 GB but the 32 GB should be out for sale later this year. The NC8430 card reader can read SDHC cards. The size limit on SD cards is 2 GB but some companies have released 4 GB versions.

    The media up to 2GB are SD and above that is SDHC.

    Most of the readers from the past year or two support SDHC but you may need to find the latest driver and, for XP, download a hotfix (which might be included in SP3).

    Hey Grazzt,

    I have a 6910p myself, and I'm using a 4GB Class6 SDHC to use with eBoostr, so I can confirm that the 6910p indeed supports SDHC cards

    Cheers!
