Mentioned this in another tread, but here it is:

Can't wait till it comes down in price. Once it does I will get 3 of them and have over 100GB total space including internal memory for my SFLO:2.

When the price drops below $100USD it might be a great option, but for now costs more than the DAP's themselves. Wait a few months, sales will be all over the net on 32gb microSD cards.

Yea, I'm just glad they are hitting the streets now, they have been talking about releasing these for almost 2 years now.

It might but that would be like saying a portable mp3's battery lasts a lot longer if you don't turn it on and use it. Having a large amount of quickly swappable storage is a holy grail for alot of us that listen to lossless audio.

Anyone know what speed class they are? I didn't see it in the linked article. Hopefully not class 2

 

[nutsnut]

I dont mind if they are class 2, sure it may take a little longer to transfer my files to them. But for music playback, it wont really matter.

Exactly, as class 2 is fine for tunes and videos. For other devices the higher class is necessary, for our uses the lower is all we need. And yes, transfer speeds will be slower to put stuff on it, but for the lower price it's worth the wait.

 

[S J]

I just meant I hope its not $200 for a class 2 card. I know it'll probably come down fast, but still...

 

[epithetless]

As the SanDisk site clearly displays, it's a Class 2:

 

[tds101]

Well, $200 for a class 2 is it then, as it was just released.

 

[Young Spade]

Hmm. I'm excited. Although I only have 18 gigs of music now my library is steady growing and with me not buying audio equipment and instead audio CDs, that number is going to go up fast.

 

[shigzeo]

Well, if and when my Sansa Fuze has the lovely of lovelies (Rockbox) installed and running, I'll purchase something like this but I get on pretty damn well with just 8 or 16 gigs. My music collection is about 200GB because of ALAC and ASOT, so I just put together music for what I want to hear that day.

 

[Young Spade]

Wow. Yea I think I'm just going to use the Clip+ for Classical/New Age/Acoustic genres with my 3X. I'll probably bring the T51 if I'm going out of town or something to use with the Triples or if I want to listen to all of the other genres of music I have.
