The label: Transcend 8GB micro sd HC.Capacity reported by WIN 8.1 = 71 MB. What's going on?
1561398
I have no idea what Win 8.1 says about this SD card, but I can tell you Win 7 reads it as a 8GB card. Of course, all SD cards have a portion reserved for the bits that make it possible for the card to communicate with the computer and vice versa, so the card will not show the full 8GB as free for use. Possibly 8.1 is reading it as 7.1 GB, and someone mistakenly saw that as 71 MB. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the vast differences.

Product Information is, aparently, wrong. I bought this model and has 256GB!

I bought the 16GB variety. Freshly formatted in Windows 7, it states that there are 15,897,395,200 bytes free with 131,072 bytes used. In that sense, there is essentially 100% space remaining. But the number of bytes in a 16GB should really be 17,179,869,184 so in that sense it really has 92.54% space remaining. In the disk management screen, it says it has "14.81GB free", and 14.81 happens to be 92.56% of 16. Since 14.81 is rounded, I think it's safe to assume that's the how it calculated the space free for display purposes.If you get the exact same free space by percentage, you'd end up with 29.62GB. Googling around, it seems that 29.8GB is the most likely figure. I bought the 16GB variety. Freshly formatted in Windows 7, it states that there are 15,897,395,200 bytes free with 131,072 bytes used.

The max capacity it supports is 4GB microSDHC. Format it as FAT32 filesystem if it didn't come that way.

I haven't tried Kingston yet, but two 8GB Transcend cards have completely failed me, losing valuable data. Don't buy Transcend!

I don't think you missed it. It just isn't advertised in the ad. That's very foolish on their part. There's no way to tell how many customers didn't buy because of this. I had to research, research, and research to make sure before I decided to buy but it has 8 GB.

It was recommended when I purchased to use a SD card and that seems to be working fine - using a Transcend SD HC 16 GB . I ordered that as well on Amazon.

I've been using 120gb with another 120gb as extra storage. I therefore think 500gb is ample, especially if you can always get external storage later for backup. I run windows8.1.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

I got 500mb today and it's one with less dots. In the case it says 'Ultra-Portable Drive' instead of just 'Portable Drive'.

It used to be advertised as 8gb. It's actually a little less (7.6 I think). But it holds plenty of music

I got total 223.57GB shows on windows 7 disk manager. For reference, my Samsung MZ-7TD250BW 840 bought 2 years back shows 232.88GB.

It's a Transcend SDHC card, but I just noticed that they're selling the Class 6 Kingston for only $89 now... so that's pretty tempting too.

Hi, i don't know, because in my memory card only this marked micro sd and nothing more. Sorry.

There is a difference between how drive manufacturers specify 32GB and how Windows specifies GB. Every storage device will specify more GB and Windows will always say less due to these differences. Not going to detail them out, as the math makes my head hurt. :P

It is supporting my 1 TB hard disk and my 3gb Sd card. I did not try 256 gb sd card

Transcend 8GB, class 6. No problems. Got 2 rather than 1-16GB just because they do go bad (no matter the brand) and I would rather have just 1/2 of the vacation pictures spoiled rather than all of them.
