As far as I know, all media have basic data on them [the filling system] on delivery. So no card, usb, disk etc. will ever show the 'listed' number as available space.

I too just purchased this new and put in a brand new laptop , and only shows 29.27 gb freespace, almost 3gb less than advertised. It does say on the packaging that "a certain portion of capacity may be used for system files and maintenance, thus the actual capacity may differ from that indicated on the product label". So I'm assuming all is well with mine.

The reason that it is 29 GB instead of the advertised GB is the way manufacturers that sell hard drives, flash drives, and micro SD cards count up the space, along with formatting and other such things. In reality, 1024 bytes= 1 kilobyte, 1024 KB= 1 megabyte, 1024 MB= 1 gigabyte. Manufacturers do it slightly differently. they round the numbers down, so 1000 bytes= 1 kilobyte, 1000 KB= 1 megabyte, 1000 MB= 1 gigabyte. So that is part of the reason that your card shows up listed less then advertised. I read it on the package of a flash drive a while back. Hope it helps.

From what I've read, the SD card integration is pretty much the same as before.Hopefully, they'll fix it in a firmware update, but I doubt it.I think they just released a new firmware update on July 29.

I've used a 32 Gb card with no problems. I see no reason why it can't use cards with more memory than that.

I've used 16 GB cards. I think it will take 32. I know it won't take anything larger.

I have a 32GB card in mine. I don't know whether there is anything larger available.

As you place the order, it's labeled as a 32gbs but once delivered it was an 8gb. As I called to get the problem resolved I was told that a replacement could be made but assurance that the same event would no occur was not provided... Supposedly they just grab what's at hand, pack ad deliver...

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

Hi! I haven't filled up the32gb card yet. But from what I understand it does have a looping option that is auto. I could be wrong. One more thing. After 4days of use, the back camera is now not working....The front camera is fine. I'm a little bummed that the back camera broke/failed so fas. 4 days and it's not working anymore.

heh Understood, and much more comforting to know you ran and it passed, three tests. >__>b I'm definitely interested, as this is a great deal for 16GB. Thanks for the quick response!

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

Where did you get your card, It could be a counterfeit. I bought a Kingston 32GB SDHC Class 6 on Ebay recently and had the same problem, tested the card and found it ran at slower than class 2 speed so it is most likely a counterfeit as I doubt a major manufaturer would try to sell class 2 cards as class 6.

Mine said 64 gig on the packaging and the sd card itself. Whenever I put the card in a device it registers as 29.9 gigs of.memory not 64. However after only using 2 gigs worth of music on it. An error occurred and now doesn't work at all.my computers won't recognize it either. I never even had the opportunity to listen to music out on it.

"Formatting the card will definitely speed things up over an un-formatted card."Thank you Les. I follow your logic. Also, do you know how to format a card?Thanks again!

Make sure that the card is formatted correctly. Depending on the operating system of your computer you can insert the card into your computer and either erase all of the files or reformat the card. I bought the same card and did not have that problem. Let me know if you need further help.

7/14/14 8:00 AM PDT: Alan, I bought 8GB microSD's. I don't know if they are made in larger capacity chips. Have you been able to get D-Link to respond? That's an important question and consideration. I'd like to know the answer if you can get one. Thanks for the good question.

Does the card work in another device? Some devices may not be able to use the 32GB size. Try formatting it in a windows computer.

Interesting. I never even knew that standard SD (not SDHC) were available up to 8 gig. I thought that they maxed out at 2 gigs. good to know. Wish the thing DID read SDHC at the card slot. Still, it's a pretty nice device.
