[Q] 32GB SD Card limit

[kevinlferguson]

Hello All,
According to the Verizon tech specs on the Incredible there is a limit of 32GB for the SD card.

Expansion Slot microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible)
Up to 32 GB card support. No pre-installed card.

Can this be increased to above 32GB?

What’s the "best or fastest" SD card that can be recommended and is not over priced?

Thanks

The micro SDHC spec caps out at 32GB, therefore you're never going to see a card offered with the micro SDHC name that is larger.

The "new" spec is SDXC. AFAIK micro SDXC has not been announced, but it would most likely be the same formfactor as micro SDHC, and theoretically supports up to 2TB. Of course, it will take awhile for the technology to catch up with the specs.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I then am going to get a 32gb card and will be looking foward to the 2TB.

Is there something like "too much memory"? Not in my book...

The first hard drive I ever bought cost almost a grand... for 10 mb. We never thought we'd need more.

My concern would be transfer rate. even a class 10 being a 10MB transfer rate doesn't sound too appealing for moving gigs of data at a time...you'd be sitting there for a day waiting for all the data to transfer....
