Hardware should you use micosd card adapter on old 3ds

[hacksn5s4]

well i can use a micosd card in the new 3ds so if i ever switch to that i don't have to buy another big sd card again

Sure it will work without any problem.

 

[hacksn5s4]

some people said the adapters die fast

 

[VinsCool]

That's not always true. I've been using adapters for years without problem. I've had like 1 of them that died, which was replaced with another one in seconds.

Arguably there's a speed drop from using one. If the speed works up to your standarts, great.

well micro sd cards are a bit cheaper

How? All the adapter does is put the contacts in a different place to match the SD profile.

Yeah, I always thought the same way. There's things like connection quality, material conductivity and resistance going on, though. I added the prepending "arguably" because of this.

I use a microSd card adapter for my o3ds. I had one die on me but the other hasn't messed up yet.

I think the adapter died on me because it was just old. Had it for many years and it was constantly being used in many other devices (wii, camera, tablet, etc.)
