Hey, does anyone know if this would work in a D2?

Newegg.com - A-DATA 32GB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Card Model SPEEDY CF 32G - Retail

Its CF, not SDHC, so im not sure if it would work...either way, it would seem that 32gb sdhc cards should be right around the corner (and reasonably priced too!)

It will work about as well as shoving a semi's engine into a pinto.

D2 takes sd cards my friend.

I dont even have a d2 lol....

O well, i figured that SD was probably smaller than CF, but even still, it has to be encouraging to see 32gb cards of any type on the market... soon we'll have 16gb micro sd and 32gb sd then i would suppose.....

There are 32gb sd cards and 8gb sd micro and they are currently working on 16gb sd micro.

Also, if you can open up the D2, then any CF should work.
Like how people mod their Zen micros by taking out the HDD and putting a 16gb CF in there.

no, the only reason that worked is because the players started out with hard drives - which means they used a standard connector to access the storage. players like the d2 that are flash always (to the best of my knowledge) have their memory chips soldered directly to the board. there is no connector to plug the CF card into.

exactly.

there have been mods that have made HDD players into flash players. there's a popular thread at Riovolution on how to do it to a karma, and there are several resources on how to do it to an ipod as well (at least the older generations)

the price and availability raises the questions of how much it costs wholesale and how long until they package 4 of these chips onto one die and fit into a notebook (even a bundle of 6 costs less than the ssd bto for macbook air, at 224GB vs 32GB!). sizewise, one cf card is about 5% of a 2.5" hd...

1) the macbook air uses a 1.8" harddrive
2) this card is 40x (~6MB/s), SSDs are around 10 times faster than that
