What is a TransFlash card?

A TransFlash card is essentially an older name for a microSD card. The TransFlash format was developed by SanDisk in 2004 as a small form factor for memory storage, initially designed for use in mobile phones. It was later rebranded as microSD after being standardized by the SD Card Association (SDA).

Key Points:

• TransFlash = microSD: The TransFlash format is the predecessor to the modern microSD card, which is now the most widely used small storage format in smartphones, tablets, cameras, and other devices.
• Compatibility: TransFlash cards and microSD cards are the same physically and electrically, so they are interchangeable in most devices that support microSD.
• Capacity: MicroSD cards, including the rebranded TransFlash cards, come in various sizes, ranging from 2GB to 1TB (or more, depending on the latest advancements in technology).
• Performance: These cards are used to store data such as photos, videos, and other files, and can be used in devices like cameras, smartphones, game consoles, and handheld devices (e.g., the R36S you mentioned).

Summary:

A TransFlash card is simply an older version of the microSD card, and it performs the same functions as modern microSD cards in devices that accept them. So, if you see a TransFlash card, it's safe to treat it as a microSD card for all practical purposes.
