I would for sure read comments from buyers, 400gb sd cards for or under $80, i'd be a tad suspicious.
Agreed. Would like to know the brand as well.

Preachy1, googled 400gb sd cards, Adorama is selling Sandisk $79.99, pretty good reviews.
Sadly on backorder. A couple of other sites selling same card with people saying it isn't 400gb at all.
So i guess buyer beware. If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is.

Thanks, EK. Adorama is typically pretty trustworthy, but any item on back order is not likely to fulfilled (at least that’s been my experience)

Well i hope they work for you, could you say how long it takes to fill one up? I'd like to get one or two in the long run, as i have plenty of hires and regular flac files i've ripped from my cd's.
I'd like two 400gb in my Fiio X5iii, but the way it acts with their stock player either in pure mode or otherwise, i get too many songs that skip, which is disappointing this far
into the firmware, my preference would be stock music player as i like viper effects, but alas i use another player that doesn't have the skipping problems the stock player has.

It's a Sandisk, the only brand I buy, and it was a Black Friday special price from Amazon. It arrived today and I am loading it up as I type this. The write speed is really fast, I am impressed. They put the price back over $100 on Saturday. They were doing the 256gb card for $39.99 on Friday. Good times.....

Pay attention this coming Monday (Cyber Monday), they may well do it again.

I’m taking a chance with the adorama deal, ordered two. I use PayPal so if they are no good, I’m protected.

I currently use two of them in my X5, and they work fine. I want the addl two for my Pioneer XDP

Amusing, today it only took one start attempt for it to see both cards. WIN!

Soundwise its pretty close to the big priced daps and you get more for less.

I moved on to a Hiby R6 and couldn't be happier, love that it just works. I still own every x5 fiio has put out and I hope to hell they continue to support and maybe even realize the potential of the x5iii.
