SwellDisk (Maximize Storage Capacity to 300%)

[gkfaisal]

Maximize Storage Capacity
SwellDisk is a proven way to maximize storage capacity. SwellDisk is fully compatible with Windows CE based device and successfully tested with Microsoft embedded partners. Your storage card will enlarge to 300% of the original capacity. SwellDisk maximizes memory card capacity!!!

i tried but nothing happened
if you read the reviews all say its the best

As with any capacity expansion tools, they all work using compression and the trade off is reduction in speed, with the Universal already being a little on the slow side I think I would rather be more carefull in what I do and don't install than suffer an even slower device.

Just my thoughts...

As far as I know the storage on Pocket PCs is already compressed by the OS. You will not gain anything by compressing this again, it may rather have the opposite effect.

I think he was referring to SD cards not the internal memory, the SD memory is not compressed by the OS AFAIK.

Hello ..

Im using this software .
gotit from pocketgear.
Im using a 2GB SD card and now using SwellDisk300% have 5.8GB of space indicated by rescoexplorer and tools.
sad to say there is no demo to test it.

I took the risk.
up to now im satisfied:-)

I think this is something similar...http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=22364



Post any comments and expiriences with these two apps

can you give us some realworld numbers? how much data do you have on your card? how much has it been compressed, new free space, etc? reminds me of MSDOS's doublespace ;)

I read that the compression only works when the card is inside the Universal; what happens when you load stuff straight onto the card using a card reader?

Ok...it says 5.8GB...but I highly doubt that you can put 5.8GB of JPEG or DivX AVIs on it...they just don't compress so well (they already are...in a way). Then, my question is, what else will I put on my SD card that'll need more space that 2GB isn't already enough?

Ain't nothing compresses better =)

As above, does this use a compressed volume (like doublespace), compress to archived files (eg zips) on the fly, or something else? I'd be interested to see what happens when you put it in a card reader, but frankly given the low (relative) CPU power of the devices, and the relatively low price of memory, better buy a bigger sd card for $40, then slow down your $1000 phone any more.
