Sandisk CF: Extreme III 32GB - HPC2000 COMPATIBLE!!!!

With lower prices recently, I bit the bullet last week and bought a Sandisk Extreme III 32GB for my Jornada 728. I had problems with other brands where 16gb was showing as only 8gb usable, but have never had a problem with Sandisk through 16gb, so took the risk. I am happy to report that it shows the "full" 32gb available. See the "Properties" pic. I copied 12gb from my 16gb CF to it (took 3 hrs via USB and PCMCIA adapters), but all seems to work well.

Why bother with 32gb? I converted a bunch of video clips using Catylist and like to take them on the road and this expands the available collection.

I submitted an enrty in the HCL for this 32gb Sandisk.

Hope this helps someone!

Nice catch, Hal. It's in the HCL now.

Not wasting any time filling up the card, I see - already .000005% full.

...that was the card out of the box...

Nice

FAT32 on a 32GB volume... I hope you have a good backup policy (or install a redundant FAT onto it)

Anyway, we've finally reached the upper limit of FAT32.

If Microsoft's formatting limits have anything to do with it, yeah
