Smile 16Gb micro SDHC working

Not seen any mention of this so far - can happily confirm my new 16Gb Sandisk micro SDHC (from mobymemory) and my micro-mini SD adapter (from a HK ebay seller) work in tandem on my Ameo.

Was sceptical they were going to work - no idea what I'll do with all the space but this seemed like a sensible upgrade.

Used space 32.0Kb
Free space 14.8Gb

Have read of some problems with micro-mini adapters and I had a couple of issues myself. Couldn't read a 128Mb micro card on my Ameo, and my new adapter doesn't work with my PC mem card reader - need to plug the 16Gb directly in to the micro slot, rather than via the adapter in the mini slot.

Thanks for the note. I know I'm buying one shortly. I can use all the space I can for pix & movies of the newborns (and the music.. and full movies.. etc)!

Good to know it will work!

I bought mine for £1.50 from overseabridge, search for "MicroSD to miniSD adapter converter SD card - FREE S/H".

I purchased also one 16gb microSD fron mobymemory and works flawlessly in my X7500 with the miniSD adaptor. The sequential max speeds (in a PC) are 18MB/s read and 14MB/s write and this make it a very serious option to upgrade the storage capacity.

Smile Great upgrade!

Can confirm too that this card works without a hitch. Filled mine to within 150mb of max (audiobooks, music, video, photographs & programs) and saw no problems at all. My X7500 now has 24GB of memory! I'm now using the 8GB microdrive as a large file transfer solution.
Buckle my shoe!

Is that possible? I heard it's a Class 2 card (= ~ 2MB/s read/write).

Yes, is possible, i used two different benchmark programs ans the results are almost identical.

Also i used Total commander (this program have a transfer speed measure utility) copying large files from and to the card and the result is 18 MB/s in reading speed and near to 14 MB/s writing files.

The specifications says Class 2, but really are more than a Class 6.

hi, I think You are wrong. Class in SD specification meens the minimum transfer, not maximum. If You send large files, transfer is different, much bigger. If You send a lot of small or very files and the card is fragmented the minimum transfer can be about 2 MB/s in class 2.
