< Esato Forum Index > Sony Ericsson / Sony > Accessories > Are Sandisk 2GB M2 cards as good as the Sony Branded one? Bookmark topic

I remember reading somewhere that the Sony ones are just a branded version of the Sandisk, yet I also remember that a speed test was done, Sony vs Sandisk, with the outcome favourablle for the Sandisk. Odd.

When are the 2GB Sony M2's going to be available in the UK?

k810i will take more than 1gb. the white paper was probably written before 2gb was released, so the limit was set to what ever was out at the time, 1gb.... or its just an error. if the k800 takes more than 1gb, the k810 will definately

Read here, stated clearly K800 support up to 1GB as well. The reason for that is that Sony has only 1GB of M2 to sell. I am pretty confidence SE phone can take at least up to 4GB M2. That is the limit of 32bit and as others said that even FAT32 can support more (but 1 file may only up to 4GB).

For MSDPs (full-size, not Micro), someone on Esato posted a speed test comparison between Sony-branded (standard and high-speed) and Sandisk-branded (also standard and high-speed) . IIRC, the standard Sandisk was actually faster than the Sony high-speed

I suspect the same is the case for Micros?

Anyway, it goes to show that Sandisk is actually better!

Well, 1 GB for K800i is definitely incorrect information, since I use a 2GB card on my K800i, and it works. Also, I believe that the white paper, that is supposed to be the technical spoecification for developers and others, is a more reliable source of information than what comes from the sales department. In the WP, it says 2GB, and it was written long before Sony even released the 1GB card. The fact that the WP for K810 has to be written after the WP for K800, and that one says only 1GB must also have a meaning.

K800i White paper, dated March 16, 2006, see page 6
K810i White paper, dated February 19, 2007, see page 6

However, I truly hope that both limit statements are incorrect, and that both handsets will be able to handle even bigger memory cards than 2 GB, should they arrive to the market. Anyone that knows what the limit for the M2 format is? 32 GB perhaps?

Found it on http://www.memorystick.org/eng/aboutms/micro.html:
Maximum Capacity is 32 GB for the memory stick itself. It will be interesting to see when such a memory comes around.

BTW, the Sony/Sandisk Press Release from 2005 pretty much summarizes and finalizes this discussion:


This press release also informs about the maximum capacity.
