Are their any file size limits on transfers? I've got 145GB's of various large video files I'm going to move to this drive.

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

as long as you leave it formatted in NTFS,(which is the format that mine came in with) there really isn't a size limit. If you re-format to FAT32,then it's 4gig.

Maybe? I still wouldn't get this product if I were you. Mine didn't even plug in.

Depends on the memory of the recorder, there is no limit of file size, there might be a limit when you to email a recording. But the recorder doesn't have any limits.

I see your question was answered. I just wanted to add that I do believe the max size is 32 gb and the recommended speed is class 4. So that's what I got and it works great. I think that loops for 8 hours or so, which is plenty of time to download the video if needed to keep them.

Hi, I am currently using a scan disk ultra 2 GB, I currently have 71 pictures on it and the one I had before that I filled I believe had around 100 or so. This size is big enough for me as I download when full onto my computer which then clears the disk for more. but if you are going to try to use it to also include the video's which I have not done I am sure it will reduce the capacity of the disk vs. just photos. Hope this helps and wish you good luck with your camera, I love mine and hope you find it a great camera also.

Thanks Mr. Brown for your fast Reply!I am going to try to format the Card to exFAT...Do you know if the exFAT could handle large 6 or 12 GB Files?

16x9 actual will give you a little more time for the HD 2 gigabyte limit but it's still limited. Again if you reduce resolution you will get a hudge boost in recording time. The file size limit is the OS limitation not the cameras. I suppose if they went with a linux platform they could have longer continuous recording with bigger files. Again unless you are recording a non stop production like A LONG PLAY you'll normally not run into the file size limit. Each time you stop and start a new recording a new file is created and the limit restarts. So you could have 10 - 600 meg files on a 8 gig card and still have space for morve videos. 16x9 actual will give you a little more time for the HD 2 gigabyte limit but it's still limited.

Yes, if you have more files than the total space on the flash drive, though, you will need to do multiple separate transfers.

Depends on what your computer will allow you to transfer. I have found files of around 3 gig or larger my computer (Toshiba) won't transfer as they are too large. So best I can say is try and see what your system will allow you to load to the thumb drive.

Don't own this particular disk, but the support for large files is unrelated with the disk itself. It is a limitation of the file system used on it, so if you format the drive as FAT, then it will have an upper limit on file sizes of 4gb. There are other file systems which support bigger files, such as NTFS (or HFS+ in case you're using a Mac). But do notice that FAT is still the most widely supported format, so some devices might have issue reading from a NTFS disk.

OK, your post really makes me confused. I guess I have to investigate further. But I suppose that would explain why the transfer speeds are so close.The product detail on one of the pages did say 2 MB so I think that's where the confusion came from.

The manual doesn't say. I used a 1TB drive and it worked fine. You can add 2 external drives, but no mention of size limit there. You can map it as a network drive, so you can move content back and forth that way, but slower ofc.

I wouldn't recommend it for large file transfers. Very slow upload/download.

Depends on the file system you use, out of the box it can transfer files upto ~64GB

Yes, I just did it a few minutes ago. The file was 7.67gb, took about 2 minutes and 40 seconds to copy. I got mine for $39.99 before Christmas, wish I had bought a couple more! Great and fast drive!

Did you hook it up to the computer? The computer will say "mass storage" when you attach your dashcam to it, that's how you transfer your video files off of it. I think there might be a size restriction on these dashcams as well, for mine it was 32gb.

sadly...no. The transfer utility is great though and the player works quickly and painlessly with any number of computer media players.This is our second Sony and both are extraordinary. Sound is great with lots of enhancements etc...I have never had a storage problem.Take the plunge...you won't regret it......

I download my pictures to large capacity auxiliary drive. I then upload from there the pictures I want to share. 16.0 MP is quite large and takes some time to upload.
