for those who don’t find a sd card socket for the core stm32F4.

you could use micro SD card and the ADAPTATOR will be the socket like:[http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp\_sdcard.html](http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_sdcard.html)

first solder unused component legs to the adaptator:

solder to the core but leave some space to the board for avoid short (be carefull pinning):

you could fix it (glue) if you want (not done for me legs are sufficiant)  
et voila!

Thanks for the tip! I just did the same, but I used soft wire and double sided tape to fasten the adapter to the PCB.
