Is there such a thing as 4GB SD (NON HC)?
in [UK Mobile]

From: Dave on 13 Jun 2010 06:17 Just been reading the manual to a phone I have here and it says the maximum size SD card it will take is 4GB (Non HC). Now I thought that anything above 2GB was HC. Am I wrong? Can I buy a 4GB SD NON HC card? Thanks

Prior to the introduction of SDHC cards, one could find on eBay 4GB SD cards based on the old architecture. I don't know how the memory was mapped, exactly, but the cards definitely existed. Their compatibility was spotty at best, as I recall - and they stayed on the market for a while after SDHC became widespread. They eventually faded away, probably because dealers got tired of handling complaints when they didn't work.

Technically what you say is correct though, and 4 GB cards are supposed to be SDHC.
