A while back now I stuck to buying full size SD cards for my DSLR cameras because I back then found them cheaper and reportedly faster. Cards like the 32GB SanDisk Extreme Pro that has 80MB/s write speeds, thankfully still alive and kicking.
Fast forward a little to now and it just looks like most deals are for microSD which can reach almost the same speeds like the updated Samsung Evo Plus/Pro's. So they're practically just as fast, and just as cheap if not cheaper. Are there any factors left to not just going exclusively microSD, plus adaptors when needed? I don't plan on updating my cameras any time soon either.
The context (of all things) is I was thinking of getting an updated USB3 card reader like the small Ugreen A+C one ($20) but if I go only micro going forward, I can put that money towards say a Samsung Evo Pro 256GB and includes the smaller card reader without needing to cater for full SD size.
In theory there should be no speed difference class for class, sd compared to micro sd with adapter since no actual electronics are involved…
If you’re going to be inserting and reinserting the micro sd to the adapter maybe (?) there’s a chance one of the pins could break/degrade but I really don’t see this being a huge if actual issue..
