Ärende: SD Card Lock Lever
==========================
Howdy!,

I use a SD Card in my Digital Camera, when I remove the SD Card and put
it in a "SD Card - USB Adapter" to move the photos from the Card to my
Computer, I slide the "Lock Lever" on the Card to the Lock position.

I consider the "Lock Lever" on a SD Card to be the same thing as the
"Write Protect" Button on 3.5 Inch Floppy Disk(s), to keep my computer
from Writing something to the Card when I didn't want "IT" to.

I've used that SD Card since I bought the Camera in 2012, but the
other day when I took the Card out of the "Adapter" and slide the Lever
up to the regular "Write" position, the Lever fell off of the SD Card.

When I put the SD Card in my Camera and turned the Camera On, there was
a message on the LCD Display telling me the Card was Write Protected.

After I found the tiny Lever & put it back on the SD Card (not knowing
if I had put it on the Card correctly), placed it in the Camera and after
Turning the Camera On I saw an image on the LCD Display, which told me
that I had put the Lever onto the SD Card correctly.   Hooray!!!!!!

      But

I was wondering if the Lever would work if I put it in the "Lock" position,
so I moved the Lever, put it in my Camera, and when I turned the Camera ON
I saw the Write Protect Message again.

I moved the Lever up to the regular position and when I turned the Camera
ON I saw an image on the LCD Display, which told me that "I" had put the
Lever back on the SD Card CORRECTLY.

I was wondering if "Anyone Else" has had the same experience with the Lever
falling off their SD Card?

[Second Topic]

Since the commonly used USB "Thumb Drives" don't come with a Write Protect
Lever on them, I've been using "Micro SD Cards" in the "Micro SD Adapter"
that comes with them, along with my "SD Card - USB Adapter" instead of
using the Thumb Drives I've bought, since I can use the "Lock Lever" on
the Micro SD Adapter when I didn't want whatever computer I plugged it
in to "Accidently" Write something to my Memory Card.

Yes, I have heard of some USB "Thumb Drives" that have a Lever to Disable
Writing to them, iirc those things CO$T MORE just to get that Lever on them.

Thanks for reading.
