4GB SDHC Micro on a Sansa e200
« on: October 24, 2007, 04:20:24 AM »
Super quick question. I was thinking of buying one of these,

Does anyone know if this will work in the Rockboxed Sansa e200?

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

You will have to write to the card via an external reader/writer connected to your
pc first.  Then once you have the files loaded onto the card you can plug the card
into the Sansa, reboot rockbox, and then rockbox will be able to read the card just fine.

Until Rockbox gets it's own USB mode.

Thanks, guys.

I can't write to the card directory to the SD card...?

I tried it with a standard card and it showed up on my Ubuntu box as two drives... It worked okay here...? But maybe that's just the standard cards..?

Yep, that is using the OF usb mode, but as the OF doesn't support SDHC....

You could also copy stuff to the internal memory then use rockbox to copy it to the card.  Rockbox native USB mode is being worked on however, so just a little patience will see you through :)

On another note,

Does anyone know what the upper limit on the SD cards is for the Sansa?

I've noticed that Amazon UK are selling a 6GB SDHC card for £32,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Retail-Packaged-Sandisk-MicroSDHC-Adaptor/dp/B000WXQGV2/ref=pd_sbs_ce_shvl_title_3/202-8272085-2882220?ie=UTF8&qid=1193297486&sr=8-5

wondering if that would work as well..? Or are we currently capped at 4GB?

Wow, man... That's loads! I've just ordered a 6GB card from Amazon (with a USB adapter), so I'll let you guys know how I get on with it :)

Hey, all!

I got my card just a while ago, copied some songs on, tried it out and it all works fine.

It's a 6GB SDHC Sandisk card (got it from Amazon, as above).

Cheers to the guys that did all the hard work on the SD card reading...

I'm now the proud owner of a 14GB Sansa e280!!

Wahoo!! :)
