256GB SDXC in various Sansas - fails on Clip+
Doghouse Riley:
specific clip and SD card from Doghouse Riley,
Checking in. I have access to four Clip Pluses and two Samsung 256g SDXC's. I've installed 3.14 on all of them. I get ATA -4 error when booting with every combination of player and card. Cards work fine if I insert them after booting, but since these are fragile and expensive little guys, that's not a good workaround.
just the usual low probability of SD card compatibility problems
Hey, if there was one user out there who would post "I am using a brand _____ 256G card with a Clip Plus and Rockbox version _____ and it works fine". I'd shut up and go try to duplicate that setup.
Mihail Zenkov tried to help, and I appreciate his efforts, but since he could not duplicate the problem, we were both spending a lot of time in trial and error with no result.

Problem is that just because they're the same brand doesn't mean they're the same internally. Two people buying the same package may get different controllers and/or NAND chips.

Did you ever reply to his last question?
Doghouse Riley:
No, I guess I did not. He was posting build after build that had no effect and I thought I had explained to him upthread that there was no need to continue.
If you are right, this may be entirely unique to my four Sansas, even though bought at different times from different vendors, and that it's a waste of time for anyone else to try and find a fix. I don't know enough about Rockbox to tweak the voltages myself.
My apology Mihail, if you're following this.......
Gertjan:
If Mihail agrees on continuing investigation when having an actual clip and 256GB card at his location, I'm willing to share the shipping costs...
Until then, Doghouse Riley: what card(s) are you currently using with 100% success rate?

OK. But first you should bay card for yourself and if you will have problems with it - we can try debug it remotely: I will provide test builds, you - checking it.
