Recommended Posts

Anyone out there know whats the maximum capacity of mini SD card the SPV C500 can take?

I've noticed that on some sites selling minis it says check you handset for compatibility.

However can't find any mention of maximum allowable or card compatibility issues on Orange or the manufacture's site.

Just wanna be sure before I fork out on a 512Mb or 1Gb (if I can get one)

People have been using 512Mb cards I believe succesfully and 1Gb cards are not out yet.

There is no reason why 1Gb or even bigger ones shouldn't work when they are made AFAIK.

I think the maximum size for miniSD-addressing will be either 2 or 4 GB, but since those cards don't exist yet, this won't be an issue for the next several months. :)

Mini-SD uses FAT32 format. As such the maximum size for addressing is considerably larger than 2-4 Gb..... :roll:

FAT32 can only spport up to 32Gb so what happens hen we get Mini-SD cards greater than 32GB?

My PC has 120Gb HDD and uses FAT32 so that blows that theory............

I think you will find that FAT will support upto 32Gb (FAT is FAT16). :roll:

FAT32 supports 2 to the power of 32b :wink: Look here

I was confused - Windows XP can only format FAT32 partitions up to 32Gb (16Kb Clusters) although it can mount them of any size.

Such a relief to know we could potentially get MiniSD cards greater than 32Gb. I can sleep easier knowing that ^_^
