Hi all,Still waiting for my apad to arrive, just wondering can this device take Micro SDHC 32mb cards?Thanks.

Some specs say "up to 32 GB", but the semi official support site http://hiapad.com/ say "up to 16 GB"I'd trust the latter.

Im currently using a 16gb SDHC card with no issues in my v2 apad, so yes

IS it stock 0530 or a customized one given in the forum.I tried 3 different memcards with 8 and 2 Gigs but only thing I got is "Damaged SD Card" notification.I wonder whether it is a software problem or my device is not functioning properly.

...or the card isn't formatted properly? Has to be FAT32

In fact I tried all the known Windows and Linux file system formats but still no good

Yes stock 0530 ROM & using a Kingston micro SDHC 16GB straight out of the box.

Would be interesting to know whether it actually supports 32gb

Ahh,then what is the problem of my apad? I tried both stock and custom FWs along with Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC,Kingston 8GB micro SDHC and PNY 2GB mico SD.

 

[wwilde]

Sorry I can't help more but now running hellermerongs ROM & still works fine

 

[deneme13]

Maybe my card reader failed.I will make my apad recognize my mem cards in some way

I had the same question (will 32gb work?) dont know why no one has tried it yet or why no one will directly answer the question. Well untill someone takes the plunge we may never know....

 

[ZilverZurfarn]

(will 32gb work?) dont know why no one has tried it yet

Perhaps because the audience for the aPad is price sensitive, and wont shell out as much for a memory card as they did for the device itself?

 

[dansam]

well ya we are all probalby a little cheap or we'd just plunk down the 700 or so for the Ipad Still Ive seen em go for like 52.00 or so on ebay and if it did work Id buy one. In theory I dont understand why it would not work. if 16gb works what would be so different about 32gb? I guess even though one of the guru's has not tried it does not mean they dont have an opinion on why it would or would not work. Any "educated" opinions? Im sure someone has tryed it or at least gone over 16gb.

 

[gevrik]

The main reason why nobody has tried it yet is that you can't get your hands on good 32GB MSD cards just yet. There are a few available, but they are class 2, which means you can't even play MP3s off them properly, because they are just too slow. And no, I will not pay ?80 (down from ?133) for a 32GB class2 SD card.

 

[dansam]

Fair enough. I was not aware that there was such a difference in good and bad sd cards. I guess Ill use the one I have for my camera in it till the good stuff comes out or I get confirmation of a good 32gb card that works.

[quote name='wwilde;10010]Im currently using a 16gb SDHC card with no issues in my v2 apad' date=' so yes[/QUOTE'] May i ask you wich brand and wich class 4 or 6 i presume thanks

 

[shelbz]

There is no difference spec wise from a 16GB to a 32GB. If the reader supports one it will support the other.

 

[pomme-accro]

And is it really a problem to use no brand Class2 card in order to read music photo and Film ?

gevrik states above that MP3 is not properly supported with Class 2 but with rating of approximately 2 MB/s I find this hard to believe. FLAC, perhaps. Video, maybe. I used a cheap generic memory card (actually a MiniSD inside an SD adapter) for my M001 and everything works fine.I think it's more "it will be slower" rather than "it won't work". Maybe gevrik can elaborate as I am by no means an expert on the subject!
