First of all, they have 10 GB CF cards, I dont know if compatible with axim, but they do have a 5 GB for $99.

And, to Patrick: nowhere in that article does it say that is going to be Compact Flash, unless my search missed it.

I think the limit is 32Gb, limit of the FAT32.

Are you sure? I think on my old windows box there is a 40 GB HD with fat 32 formatted.

Unfortunately there is; they largest SD cards they make right now are 4GB. I wished you were right, though.

The Transcend and A-Data 4GB SD cards are the largest ones available today. They work in the x50/v. So if your x51/v handles SD cards per se without errors it will support the 4GB models, too.

Potential problem: price (US$ 250 - 260).

The 4gb card does work fine with the x51v though, I am using the AData 150x 4gb card in mine without any problems.

FAT16 handles 2^16 (64k) clusters of at most 32kB size (2^15) = 2^31 = 2GB
FAT32 handles 2^32 clusters of at most 32kB size (2^15) = 2^47 = 128GB

As I have learned fairly recently there are programs (SKTools, Storage Tools) which can format cluster sizes of 64k. This is non-standard but works for my FAT16-formatted 4GB card in both the PPC and the card reader. I have not tried this with FAT32.

When I do the math 2^47 equals 128 TB(Terabytes).

And right you are. I got the same but somehow when I typed it, GB was the unit that came out; probably because a TB is so awfully big.

I know that the biggest card is 4GB. However, I believe the original poster asked about the LIMIT of the device's card slot. Basically, it should work with all kinds of SD.
