Nice find, i'll b ordering one of these.

I'm not sure this won't work in a Hermes as it will be SDCH card, unless I'm missing out on something.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296833
I'd bet the newer WM6 builds will support this card tho...
Ah, is it mearly a software issue then? I assumed it was some hard coding of a hardwear chip issue.

That's odd, the one on Play.com doesn't advertise the fact it is SDHC, but the MobyMemory one does. I wonder if the play.com is one of the non-standard ones?
MicroSDHC 4Gb. TyTN's compatibility?
Could someone confirm if this microSDHC is compatible with TyTN (hermes 200)?
I read on other foruns that is not compatible (maybe with WM05...). :?
Just have to wait till they come out and someone else has acuttaly tried putting one in there device!
I just hope the hermes supports it correctly, ie doesnt kill batt life e.t.c.
Oh and its going to need to be fat32 formatted, which shouldnt make much odds.
see http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290117868659
I will let you know whether it works when mine arrives
When it's over the 2Gb , it has to be HC. The HC makes the addressing of hight then the FAT maximum addresable of 2Gb. Some 2Gb cards are and others are not, but anything over 2Gb is High Capacity period. So you NEED to have FAT32 also on these... otherwise, if you manage to format it in FAT, it will acutally have 2Gb of space only.

Why?? I have a 4gb SD for my (gasp!!) LifeDrive that is not SDHC. Formatted with Fat32, but not SDHC. Same design, just bigger, isn't it? The question is, would my 8525 handle a >2gb microSD, not -HC?
Would be interested to see how these go so I can drop my iPod nano 4GB and use this in the car with my CK-20W A2DP Car Kit

That's pritty much my point. In normal SD cards they have found a way to make 4GB's without SDHC, somehow. There not made to the official standard of either SDHC or just plain SD though; so it's even more confusing for people!
I believe it's to do with the fact that FAT32 is not part of the SD specification but the non-SDHC 4GB cards use it anyway.
But anyway, those not so keen on buying the 4GB straight away will just have to wait and see what others report.
At the moment the fact 4GB is so much more per GB then 2GB or 1GB is putting me off, but then that's always the same with the newest.
I just got a mail from mobymemory, they're pushing back the delivery date to the 22nd of June

I would guess that if the power consumption and size are the same for a larger drive then the answer would be yes. Check the specifications of the installed drive and see if any larger drives exist with the same power consuption and size....let us know what you find...i'm interested. Also, PocketPCTechs are known for updates of this sort. You might consider e-mailing them and asking if they plan on having a HD upgrade for the Athena and letting us know what they say.
I've only found a 4gig SDHC card. If you find something larger let us know this also.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the tilt sensor for the Vueflow is built into the hard drive.... So swapping it for another drive would prevent that from working.

What I settled for trying.
I found a 16Gb CompactFlash to replace the MicroDrive. Pricey... very pricey, but want to try that. Power comsumption is slighly lower, so I might see improvement. I will try to mirror the "drives" before inserting the CompactFlash. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Access time is much faster also. Can't wait to try to run a movie on a plasma. Finally an alternative to renting movies in hotels! For those interrested in the drive: http://www.flash-memory-store.com/16gb-compact-flash.html The Qmemory drive seems the most interresting one. 24Mb/s access... not even sure the south bridge on this device can access the drive that fast.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think the Athena used Compact Flash. I'm sure if we contact Hitachi support they will provide us with information on a larger drive. Maybe PocketPC Tech's will soon offer an upgrade. I would prefer having them do it with a warranty.
Maybe they don't make a larger MicroDrive...check out the site
http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/menuitem.92382478a130ca1492480021aac4f0a0/
Hitachi isn't the problem... the problem is the darn CE-ATA interface I didn't notice. Intel is heading the new standard, and the founding member? Hitachi. So far, no other drives then Hitachi's 3K8. Well, they have 2/4/6/8 Gb in sizes, nothing else. 10Gb was suppose to exist, but never saw light. Tough luck for now. Until 20Gb transflash sees light, no expansion. Why oh why HTC didn't you choose the standard CF interface? Looks like I'm returning a 16Gb CF card. :-S

Good that HTC installed from the beginning the max available capacity, not 2/4/6 GB.
That's another way of looking at it. It's positive... true. I guess if you are ultra conscious in the design also, shaving off a few milimeters and tenth of grams is immportant also.
Why do people keep referring to Transflash? Transflash was the standard that became MicroSD, I thought - the thumbnail sized cards. MiniSD is like the SD equivalent of the 1/2 MMC cards.

Doesn't really matter, you can put a Transflash (MicroSD) card into a MiniSD adapter.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm soooooooooo glad they went with the largest available drive. Means they didn't cut too many corners. Way to go HTC on this choice! Doesn't feel like they skimped on us.

Uh, yeah, and you can put a Transflash into an SD card adaptor and use it in your camera, too, if you want expensive, slow, small amounts of memory.
I'm not saying that it's impossible to use Transflash in the device, but that people saying Transflash may be confused about what card slot the device has and buy the wrong memory. Or more importantly, people reading might think it has a MicroSD slot.
I use MicroSD aka Transflash because I can put them in all my devices 9sometimes using adapters obviously). Where SD or MiniSD wouldn't fit in a Motorola phone or Blackberry with Transflash (or MicroSD for the purists *grin*)
cheers! I love my Athena the way it is. I still feel the urge to tweak it though! ;-)
Memory is so cheap these days, I just get each device a card - especially since my Nokia's MiniSD card doesn't seem to be recognised by the Mac (I haven't tried it in the Athena yet). 4GB is only £40!
That looks like a 1" drive, like wots inside some iPods. Is it even smaller than that?
Can anyone with an X10 tell me if they have used a 32gb SD card on the X10?
Phone shops I have been to have no idea and aren't able to test this for me by opening up a box and putting a 32gb card in the phone.
Perhaps since the 32gb microSD card was released only 23 March 2010 the information on most websites is from 2009?
I find it hard to believe the hardware in this phone can only support 16gb.
Can anyone with the phone and microSD card let us know the real capacity please?
good point, i´d really like a 32gb card in my x10 when it comes!!!
I haven't used it, but the articles I read about the early 32GB cards to market said they use standard SDHC, and thus should be compatible with all SDHC-compliant hardware. Anything beyond 32GB will be using a newer standard that will require specific compliance (as SDHC did before).
kakahara, we have all got together and voted that you should buy one and test it out. We want you to know up front we appriciate you taking one for the team!
Will get mine soon(today or top a day or so from now) then i will try it out.

That's likely because when the page was put up, 32GB MicroSD cards didn't exist. Sandisk released the first one only two weeks ago. According to The Inquirer's article, it *should* work in most devices that support 16GB cards.

Yup, i think this thread is after the 'suck it and see' method, I am also waiting to hear the results!

Thanks for the confirmation.
Has anyone seen the 32gb cards out in the wild? (retail stores)
Seems like you can only order from SanDisk's own website.
I'm looking to get a 16GB card and was looking at getting a class 10 for the extra speed over a class 6, with looking to run Debian eventually. Has anyone got one on this phone? Is it worth double the price? The card that comes with the phone seems to be a class 4 as was hovering around 3.5mb/s writing which would be a little slow for Debian.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Hi,
here just arrived a Kingston 16GB Class10. The X10 comes with a default Class2 microSD wich is quite poor in writing speed. With the Kingston, that for the moment I have only tested with HDTune benchmark, I see that reading speed does not reach any further improvement (always 17MB/s), instead writing speed is great: never less than 12MB/s (the stock microSD rarely goes over 6 - 7MB/s in sequential write).
I will make a complete report pretty soon
Thanks for the report, I think I'll get the same. Even without running apps or Debian from it, the stock card is too slow in copying files to keep it.
Cheers

Yeah, but it's buried in the phone. To access it, take off the battery cover, remove the battery, then take out the microSD card. The "class" number is written on the card itself, as a circle with a number on it.
Note, you've probably got a class 2.

hi, I'm looking to buy a 64GB MicroSDXC card
do they compatible with photon ?
can anybody who have them give some inputs ?
thank you.
No, the Photon only supports microSDHC, and like you said, the 64gb (also, anything over 32gb) is classified as microSDXC.
32gb + 16gb internal should be more than enough anyways, provided you use it wisely.
If you absolutely NEED that amount of space, some users were able to use the Photon as a USB host and attach an external USB flash stick using a special USB-F-MicroUSB-M

The current 64GB cards are generally backwards compatible with SDHC in a lot of devices.

I have a Sandisk 64 card - haven't tried it in my Photon, but it works fine in my Xoom and Cowon J3 MP3 player (linux).
So, I don't know for sure. (My Photon battery cover plastic clips won't take too many more removals or I'd try it)
I got my mom a 64gb sandisk mobile utra microsd card and its works perfectly.She uses the microsd for music and so far she hasnt had any problems.

Cool - good to know, thanks for the post.
I figured it would work fine in the Photon since it seems to work in about everything else with a SDHC 3.0 compatible slot.
And I got my spare battery cover via eBay today, so may try it soon.

When I compared them read/write, depending on what I was reading or writing, the SanDisk was either faster OR not that far behind, so I went back to SanDisk for the realiabilaty. I now have 64Gb SanDisk Class 6 and I'm happy (Kinda of, there is nothing on it? I either use Google or ZumoCast to acces my desktop at home?)
My suggestion, look for stability, look at the reviews where people smarter than I have done extensive testing. Not all chips are alike. Also, look at your needs. If you take a ton of pictures or video, I assume you would need high write speed. If your a gamer, I assume you would need high read speeds? Just me!
Thanks for the further explanation! I'll probably just pick up the class 6. It's getting rave reviews on Amazon.
I've got a lot of podcast/media files I store and I'm running out of space on my 128gb card.
Looks like it's 512gb.
Get a name brand card that's V30 rated, nothing slower! A 512gb one is about $70.
Use the SD card as a data drive. Only the apps, DCIM and download folders go on the internal memory. Redundantly backup the data drive then. Everything you need for a full reload should be on it.

Wow, that's pretty hefty. Cool.

Wait a minute, and this is kinda related, why did I just buy a 500gb HDD for my laptop that's physically ...500 times it size at least!? Well it's about $20 cheaper but .... wtf? It's an SSD and I'll guess it's faster? IDK why it would be.

The SD card's IO is much slower but a V30 rated card will stream vids and music with no problem.
Perfect for a data drive... Sandisk Extreme is a good one.

what do you think about one of these "class 10" cards:

Cheap! How fast do you need it to be to read audio files off it? If I have to transfer a movie to the phone to watch it smoothly IDC. Small inconvenience. But for bulk storage would this be a a good affordable solution you think?
yeah, come to think of it I have an old Sandisk 64 gig xc1 card which is supposedly class 10 speeds, and I've never had an issue watching say a standard 2gig movie on it. Don't know the standard resolution on those, 4k or whatever, probably less but I'm not a heavy video resolution consumer, either for viewing movies or recording. Do you need a really fast card in order to record like 4k?
again, I suppose any fast playing/reading or recording I might need to do I can do on the phone storage directly ... right? I'm just wondering if I need to spend an extra $50 just for bulk storage
what the... these must be garbage. but they got 30 day "free returns"... might be worth testing out...

Don't play around with junk that wastes your time, is unreliable and can cost you data lose.
Here's the one that you wanted...

My Mama always told me not skimp on shoes or your mattress; I've since added 'digital storage' to this list.
