Sandisk has said 200gb currently is the physical limit of mSD cards (that's why there is no 256gb), and unless something radically changes (which they may be able to work out) 200gb is it for the near future.

the fact that you posted this on the day 256gb cards were announced makes me smile. Your right about the 512gb ones though. Pure vapor ware

The link would probably help. Price is ridiculous but at least it's A reputable company.

Yeah... MICRO SD card, not SD.

Sorry! here u go

And how much does this msd card go for?

 

[Larethio]

*facepalm* if only I read your link. Sorry

 

[goldendarko]

And how much does this msd card go for?

$250 in June. Which is not a great price considering you can get 3 200gb cards for $240. But it will come down in time.

It seems that storage comes out pricey but goes down rapidly. Good thing too since my lossless rock collection is ever growing.

Ha! Today? Really? What are the chances... :redface:

What a coincidence!

I'm actually glad they cracked it because it was looking grim for a while. I do wonder how long before higher capacities make it out.

Edit: I mean grim based on the press that 256gb was a tough nut to crack.

 

[goldendarko]

Yeah it seems like we were stuck on 200gb for quite a while. Wonder how long the next development will take. Must be pushing the upper limits with current technology

Moore's law dont let me down now.

That's what I mean. The articles I've read made it seem like 256gb was quite a ways off, if possible at all with current methods. I'd like to read more on the Samsung solution to the issue.

At present, solid state memory density increases are going vertical. When the 200 GB Sandisk micro SD card came out, Sandisk achieved that density by increasing chip layers from 16 to 25, increasing the capacity from 128 GB to 200 GB. Samsung has a higher density stacking technology called 3D V-NAND which further increase layers to 32 for a total of 256 GB. Sandisk and Toshiba claim to be working on a 48 layer this year called "BiCS" so theoretically we should see a 384 GB micro SD card in the near future, but not a jump to 512 GB. A major limiting factor is keeping costs down to consumer levels.

Just found out that there is a "variable lineout" mode in the sound setting
after updated to the latest firmware.
 
Since my unit is a HK/EU version that caped the output level, enabling "variable lineout" mode (need restart) removes the cap!
 
The player sound amazing with extra punch and larger sound stage now!
 
I was using 120~ volume before turning on this mode, and now 80-90 is enough for me.
