I am making a project where SD card has to be used to store some data. I am planning to use 8 GB SD card. I have written a code using FAT32 library and it is working fine with 2 GB SD card. I want to know whether the same code can work with 8 GB SD card and I also want to know can I use microSD card instead of SD card by changing the socket? If I use microSD card then can I use the same SD card circuit with microSD card with only change in socket for card?
 

You can use microSD through a passive adaptor which should clarify that it uses the same circuit.

8GB is SDHC type and uses a different address format in read and write commands. If your SDcard library is already aware of SDHC cards, it should work.
 
Thank you FvM.
