You don't "lose" any space. That's how data works.

If you get a 320gb hd, you're only able to use about 95% of the total space.

Go to Google and ask why that happens, it explains it somewhere. Don't just jump to conclusions without first trying to solve/educate why some things are how they are.

Even on the back of some memory cards/hard drives it'll also tell you that you won't be able to use the entire space.

Yeah, I second this. A 64GB USB isn't meant to have the amount of 64GB free space

I understand how it works, I'd appreciate if you didn't jump to conclusions either.

According to ScanDisk they are listed as a Class 10.

It's because computers can't devide by 1024 or something like that. I think.

Computers see 1GB as 1024mb

Humans see 1GB as 1000mb

When they market their card as 64GB they do it the human version (64000mb)

When your computer sees it, it counts a GB as 1024mb, so obviously it wont end up being 64GB counting that way.

Hope that helps

You actually do get the full 64gb...if you paid attention enough. But it's a matter of the discrepancy between binary numbering and decimal numbering schemes used.

If you do a right click and hit "properties" of your hard drives (where you see the pie chart), and look under "capacity", you'll see a value that hits what you're looking for, if not close. Be it 64gb or 320gb.

My laptop drive is 120GB and shows: 119787220992 bytes (read, 119 billion, just a hair below 120), for a capacity of 111GB. You're not losing 9gb, it's just information being represented differently.

I didn't know we could use 64 GB cards... are there any drawbacks?

I switched from a 32GB Pny class 10 to this 64GB Sandisk card. I don't see any difference in performance or speed. I use my G2x to stream audio files to my bluetooth headphones all day at work. I have watched a full length movie, taken and watched other videos with my phone during this week. I dont see any drawbacks at all. It took a long time to transfer 29GB from my old card to the new, but this is understandable and normal

I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WTAJTO and my G2X refused to mount it. not even in recovery.
