Is there any size limitation for SD cards to use with Supercard SD? Also does it matter if the card is Type I or Type II?

[MisterJP]

SD cards are not limited, however when using it with a supercard, they can not exceed 2 GB as they are FAT formatted.
There is no "Type I" or "Type II" SD card, this is for Compact Flash card only.

What brands of SD cards are recommended to use with Supercard?

I think this question will get more importent when the new Firmware comes out because the DS games will be streamed of the SD card.

I use a sandisk  sd card with no problems.

I use a PNY 1 gig with no problems.

there's a 180 file limitation on my 1 gig SanDisk SD card. Anything past that and I'll get a error message saying that the file cannot copy even though I still have about 500mb left.

How well do the FAST SD cards work with the SC?

I'm using a 2Gig Sandisk Ultra2 SD card, without any glitches.
It flies when it's time to copy files on it from the pc, but I didn't see any any kind of performance improvement (from the reguilar ones I tested) once inside the sc.

I did some testing regarding speed of media during stream:
I went to my brother. He has a SC CF (NoName 128MB) and I have a SC SD (SanDisk 128MB). On both we booted Castlevania and watched the Intro movie. Guess what, the video was much faster on his SD CF with NoName CF-card.
So now that data is streamed of the CF/SD-card the choice of the right card is more important than before.

What about those SD cards that are labeled with "Highspeed". Are they compatible with SC?

How fast (xMB/s) could the SC read from the SD-card if it allows fast reading?
