Title: SD 512Gb
Post by: djfonplaz on February 26, 2018, 02:52:36 PM

Hi there,

anyone tried some rockbox stable player with a 512gb sd card? How it works?
Any troubles?

Thanks

I could be wrong, but I think none of the stable ports take SD cards. Only microSD cards. There are SD to microSD adapters, so you can use a SD card on these players too. But it depends on how you use the card. If it is formatted to FAT32 and also changed the partition type to Fat32 a Cowon D2 should work fine with it. iPods and iFlash adapters with SD cards are known to cause problems.

I meant microSD, of course :)
They are coming as 512gb in February, that's why I ask it ;)

Get an ipod clasic and mod it with an iflash quad and a expanded battery    You can put 4 128 gig micro sdcards and have 512 gb foir a fraction of the price   Plus you have an upgrade path in the futue

get an ipod with a dead harddrive for 50$ and you have a awesome rockbox enabled media player.
I get about 4 days of battery life  (thats straight no breaks.) on mine!

I intend to try this once Sandisk makes one. Is that card announced by Integral Memory back in January actually available anywhere? Seems like vaporware to me.
