[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 851125, member: 176256"] First, confirm that the card says SDXC on it. It can't be SDHC as the standard doesn't support such a large capacity. And... Second, look at the reader to see if it mentions SDXC. It's just possible that you've bought a reader that understands the new standard. Or... Third, it's possible that you've bought a counterfeit card. These have the MBR (I think) doctored so that when you do a simple properties check they give a false reading. You will find that the card will store files up to a certain amount which may be as little as a couple of Gigabytes. The card will report that it's saving more than this amount but the files don't exist and cannot be retrieved. There's more info here: [url]http://www.ebay.com/gds/FAKE-SanDisk-Ultra-Secure-Digital-Cards-Exposed/10000000001254879/g.html[/url] [url]http://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/fixing-fake-sd-sdhc-cards-is-it-possible-what-are-the-problems-and-challenges-what-software-to-use-to-test-for-flash-memory-fake-chips-is-there-a-free-download-to-check-flash-drives-and-memory-car/[/url] I recently bought a couple of 32GB cards and the first thing I did when I received them was to check them out using the H2testw software mentioned. If it's none of the above - well I'm stumped! [/QUOTE]
