Space on 8GB card? I wonder what my third one will be?

You're not losing all that space to any "formatting", you're just prey to marketing and confusing computer lingo. Hard drive manufacturers dictate a 1GB as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes whereas Windows calculates 1GB it as 1,073,741,824. Technically speaking, windows version of GB really should be referred to as GiB rather than GB. A 500GB hard drive sold by Maxtor/WD/Seagate etc. will show in windows as 465.5 GB. Just as these 8GB cards show as 7.44GB. For simplifying, you can pretty much divide the stated capacity by 1.074 to see what you're actually going to get.

Hi and thanks for your question.You can use a 2, 8 or even a 16 gigabyte SD memory card. Right now I'm using a 32 gig card.

I'm pretty sure the file system for the MicroSD slot is FAT16. So, even when they make bigger cards, the largest you'll ever be able to use is the 2GB ones.

It's best to do so. Otherwise it will only fill the larger card the same as the smallest card. If you have an 8 gig and a 16 gig it will assume the 16 gig is only 8 gig.

It's got 8GB of built in storage. (Ends up being like 6.5GB after you account for system storage/pre-installed apps).

Yes you can. You must re-format the card to FAT32 (use Easeus partition program--free). Create an unallocated partion of 300 MB, format to FAT32, and your card will have 59.xxGB to use.Good luck!David

I believe that is correct but I only use 2 and. 4g SD cards. I have never come close to filling them up. I also use the "overwrite" setting

Oh, just one more thing. You will have to buy a memory card to go into the extra memory slot.Otherwise you will not have enough memory for both the US and Europe. Put a piece of tape over that slot so nobody removes it.You will NEVER use that card for anything else. Just leave it there...I think you should buy at least a 8 gig card, though 4 might be enough but the cost difference is not much.They keep on expanding the data base so extra memory is good to have.DH

Yup, just put a 32GB one in mine. Only shows 29.something gigs, a few short of full capacity, as do all cards and flash drives I wish I knew why and it drives me kooky, hee. But yes, it works. So there you go. Update: Please take note, previously I'd answered that someone informed me the he's using a 64GB card on this unit. He's since informed me that he had mistakenly posted on the wrong thread and intended that info for another player. So I've edited my answer. That said, the info on the 32GB card still stands, as I'm personally using one in my Evo. Cheers

And it will take up to 128 GB capacity cards. Manual also states that only Lucas cards will work, but not sure if this is true in real life. If someone tried non-Lucas cards - please feel free to chime in.

Not sure what you mean but this card works great for me holding all my music and pictures but yet with 8gb free. Get it because it is cheap and will work great for you.

Everything I have read about it says 4gb is for multiple monitors. And (I'm not 100% sure about this) higher resolutions.

Probably not. I have installed 2 2GB cards in my 5516. So I have 4GB but on my system properties screen it shows: 4GB (3GB usable).

Sorry, biggest I have used is 32 GB. I like to keep image files on more smaller capacity cards. The ole "don't place all of your eggs in one basket" ploy

We will need a little more information like what are you inserting this into? Also does the system board that you are using this on expand to 32GB? Maybe 16 is its max.

not true, I've used mine with 8gb and 16gb cards, you just have to run a format on the card first, which is very easy if you scroll through the menu.
1568994
Yes. You can switch to 8gb single. Or two 4gb for 8gb total. Or even two 8gb to get 16gb
