Hello,

I am a new Blue Angel user (bought it used) and so excited to get the best out of it.

Well, I am trying to upgrade the storage, and trying to buy 4GB SD Card...
I have seen a lot of
"Dane Elect 4GB SD Cards" on Ebay and
"Transcend 4GB SD Cards" on Amazon, and
trying to buy either one of them.. but I am wondering,
-Are they both compatible? and..
-Which would be a better choice?

Your replies much appreciated.

Best regards,
J.

4GB SD Cards are compatible with Blu Angel?
I read that 2GB is the max value...

I bought a D-Tec 120x 4GB SD Card, had a bit of doubt as I have never heard of D-Tec.

However, I received it today, and so far it works fine! It recognises as 4GB.

To clarify this a bit more for people -
There are two types of SD cards right now:
SD (1.1)
SDHC (2.0 - HC stands for high capacity). A good primer on the changes can be found here: http://www.sandisk.com/sdhc/SDHC.pdf
Basically, what you need to know - any card that is regular 1.1 (8mb -4GB) will work in the BA. Any card that is 2.0/SDHC (4gb -32gb) will NOT work, as 2.0 is NOT backwards compatible.

The problem here, as you may notice, is that some 4GB cards are teh 1.0 version, and some are the 2.0. If you are not careful, you may buy the wrong card, and end up with something you can't use.

Now, it is possible that some SD devices can only address values smaller than 4.0GB. But, assuming the device is FULLY 1.1 compliant, a 4.0 1.1 card should work just great.

Here is an example of the differences -
This is a 1.1 card:

This is a 2.0 card:
