Max SD Card Capacity?

Apr 4, 2007, 3:06 PM

I finally got one of these bad boys.

One of the complaints I read in the reviews and the forums is that the limited on board RAM and ROM can gag the unit frequently. Some recommended putting everything that you possibly can, including data, apps, etc, on the SD card.

I need to know what is the largest capacity SD card that anyone has been able to use, sync, etc. reliably.

Samsung recommends 1G, but says the device is designed for 4G. I've read on older postings that access time can be an issue. The newer SD cards are now running at 50x or 150x. I was wondering if that would solve the access time issue and allow us to push the 4G limit.

just make sure when shopping for them you make sure the words "High Capacity" or "HC" appear nowhere on the card or packaging. some store reps will tell you this isn't possible, they are full of it. any of the ones here:
