Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDCFB-128-A10 CompactFlash 128 MBCustomer Review: Good to use with Axim X5 Summary: 5 Stars
I poped into my Axim and downloaded 25 songs (approx 5 MB/song) and it worked like a champ. No problem so far. But instead of 128 MB it showed the total capacity as 122.10 MB. I sent an email to sandisk customer service and I got the following answer from them. This might be helpful for you.The operating system, when reading the size of the card, reports a slightly different capacity than what is listed on the card's label Definitions of a Megabyte: 1) Operating Systems commonly define a Megabyte (MB) as: 2 to the 20th power (1,024KB--Kilobytes). 2) DiskDrive and Flash Memory Card Manufacturers commonly define a MB as one million bytes (exactly 1,000,000 bytes). Unformatted (Capacity) Also known as drive byte capacity before formatting. The Maximum capacity of disk drive before formatting equals [ (# Cylinders) X (# Heads) X (# Sectors) X (# Bytes per Track) ] Example: 64MB CompactFlash Card consists of: 490 Cylinders 8 Heads 32 Sectors 512 Bytes per Track This equates to: [ (490) X (8) X (32) X (512) ] = 64,225,280 Unformatted Capacity: 64,225,280 bytes Formatted Capacity: 63,934,464 bytes (User Data) Cause: Disk Drive Companies such as SanDisk define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,000,000 BYTES. Operating Systems define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,048,576 BYTES (1024K X 1024K or 2 to the 20th power). Example: SanDisk 64MB CompactFlash Card being read by Microsoft Operating System. SanDisk Total Formatted Capacity divided by 1 MB (as defined by the Operating System) equates to the following: 63,934,464 BYTES / 1,048,576 BYTES = 60,972,656 BYTES, 60.9MB displayed by OS.
