Storage Card Compatibility List

No issues on X50v with seagate 4 and 8 gb photo micro-drive!

Hi I've just bought an axim x51v and put in a 4gb stormax sd card but I can't use it anyone know how

1. Make sure it's not a SDHC (Secure Digital HIGH CAPACITY) card, these will not work in your Axim
2. Format the card in your Axim just to make sure it's readable

Additional new card:

Tested for two days now on my X50v and working fine - KeyMem 4GB 133x CF Card.

Kingston CF 4 GB ElitePro works great in my x50, as does my old kingston 1024 mb (yes, I know that's a gig, but the card actually says 1024 mb!)

is this a CF or SD

Opps, sorry! It's a CF

Micro Center branded 1gb & 2gb SD cards both work well. these are very inexpensive cards, ($16 for 2gb) Ibut do not state any model number or speed.

transcend 4gb 45X CF card also works well.

Any chance of re- compiling this list back to the initial post?

Sorry if I missed where one was!

The transcend 4gb sd card model number TS4GSD150 works fine with my x51v and its actual capacity is 3918mb. Copying over 2gb of gps nav map data to it as I type this.

Transcend 120x 8GB CF card from NCIX. No problems on X51v.
Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB 133X SD Secure Digital from NCIX. No problems on X51v.
Lexar Platinum II 2GB 60X SD Card from Walmart. No problems on X51v.

PNY 8GB Optima Pro High Speed Compact Flash Card (Mfg Part #: P-CF8G-100W-RF3) - rated for 15 MB/s (100x at 150Kb/s) write speed and 20 MB/s (133x) read speed. Just popped one in, and it works pretty well - certainly faster than the VGI Memory MAX 4GB card I had in there previously. No issues yet witnessed.

VGI Memory Max 4GB CF card (supposedly 140x speed) - no issues.

OCZ 4GB SD card - occasional write glitch where it'll stop writing a file for some reason, but it works fine if you try the file operation again afterwards.

Anybody try the newly abundant and comparatively cheap 8GB SD cards?

They're not SD cards, they're SDHC cards.. and every SDHC card so far has failed to work with our Axims, because they're SD 2.0 standard, and SD 2.0 isn't backwards compatible to SD 1.1. There are cameras out there which have SD 2.0-capable equipment and just need a firmware update to use them, but our Axims so far have been unable to read them, and the likelihood of an upgrade to fix this is slender to none, because Dell's support is spotty and because they went cheap on a lot of the parts (look at the LCD) to keep costs down... which means that SD 2.0 is unlikely to have been part of the spec when they put these together.

To quote Sandisk, "Because SDHC cards are recognized by new SDHC host devices differently then standard SD cards, it is not backwards compatible with legacy SD format host devices. Standard SD cards are forward compatible with new SDHC host devices." There are apparently hardware changes in the cards themselves to allow them to have speed classes which specify a sustained transfer rate to the card, especially as the SD Card Association's whitepaper specifies that SD/SDHC hybrid cards have a hardware switch in them to allow backwards compatibility of the card itself to older SD devices, with separate memory areas for the SD and SDHC sections.

So... 'no' is the answer, which you'd probably have gotten if you'd done an SDHC search in the search part of the forum. This thread's mostly meant to say 'used this card, works great' or 'used a 4GB SDHC card, no go'. Actually, if you'd even read the FIRST post in this thread, you'd have seen the following:
