Has anyone used the SD Card Adapters where you put a micro SD Card inside on the MPC One?
cheers


Yes, some will work and some won't just depends on the adapter.

I'm using a Kingston adapter with a SanDisk card. Working fine.

OK thank you all, the one should arrive the next days and I will risk to try it with the adapter, I have many many different kind and brands at home. Tx

The only reason it may not work is if it is busted. the adaptor is effectively a passthrough, and shouldn't have any other components in it. One thing to note though, the micro SD format is traditionally slower, so you might find yourself better off with the normal sized SD card if you care about saving/loading speeds. That said, I haven't really paid attention to the specs myself, so couldn't tell you if the MPC One could take advantage of the faster speeds offered by the full sized cards.

Some adapter won't work, I have one that works in every other device, but it won't work in the MPC ONE. It's a Patriot one.

I urge you to take that adapter apart. You will be able to see the issue. It would have to be a cracked/broken connector. When you disassemble it, you will notice that these adapters are just 8 pieces of metal that scale up from microsd connector size to regular sd connector side. There is nothing more than that inside at all. Some devices dont take advantage of the data 3 channel. Thats the only real issue I could see here.

Strange because that adapter works in every other device. Nevertheless, I had them sitting around and I tested them. :nod: I didn't plan on using them.

i had that issue bevore with my electribe 2 sample and this was one of the reasons i started this thread. The electribe just didn‘t read or see the micro sd card in the adapter. Even if that adapter is just a hard wire to the small micro sd card.
The first adapter i tried on my newly arrived mpc one was a white Samsung Adapter ad it is working without any issues..
