Whats a SDHC card? I have a 2 GB SD, but it sounds like the SDHC is better.

 

SD High Capacity.  It's an extension to the SD standard that allows for much higher capacities.  Its theoretical limit is 2 TB's and its transfer speeds are much greater than standard SD.

Wow, and the wii can handle that? Im guessing its pretty expencive though.




They are just SD cards with a different file format (Fat32 instead of Fat16 - standard SD cards). The costs are associated with flash RAM and that's dropping in price pretty good.

I found a 16 GB SDHC on Newegg for $51.00 which cost $180.00 in March and $350.00 last October when that size launched.

 

32 and 64 GB are releasing this year.

I think someone here said he used a SDHC card with Brawl. I think it was BenKenobi88.

 

It was actually me!



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

wait, couldn't you just re-format a regular SD card to FAT32 on your PC then?

Formatting your 2G SD card to Fat32 doesn't magically turn it into 4GB SDHC card.

You could format your 2G SD card to Fat32, but it eats up more space (for header or some crap).
