Apacer 16gb SDHC memory card
 
APACER CLASS 6 SDHC 8GB
APACER CLASS 6 SDHC 16GB

Im planning to get these 2 memory cards.
Would they work on the N800 IT?

Cos all i saw here are just A-data and Patriot memory cards, which are workable..
What bout Apacer? :confused:

Unless these are bad quality cards there's no reason they shouldn't work just fine in the N800. Just to cover myself in the very unlikely case these are weird cards, don't sue me if they don't work though.. :)

Not if you have a lot of media files. Currently I have 6 movies on my 16gb card and plan to add at least 10 more.

I have 8G. The 8G is working fine.

If your 16G doesn't work I will trade with my two 8G. j/k

I had movies on my 770 with a single 2gb MMC-M card...

I have EVERY Seinfeld converted for the 770 (that I made) - I will put them on my new N800 and see how they play. Maybe I'll get a larger card to add even more stuff!

I am currently running dual 32GB cards,
so a 16GB card is supported by the hardware, but that doesnt mean itll work if the card sucks
just google the brand, look up some reviews
if you see alot of poor reviews, mind them

personally, i recommend the PNY from Costco, they have a 2 year warranty ontop of any warranty from the manufacturer
I figure 2+ solid years of good use I can be ok if they fail after that

Just a quick note.. it may (or may not) be worth noting, for all these media collections, that it might be worthwhile to get a massive USB hard drive (120GB, etc.) and plug it into the USB port, assuming the drive can be powered externally or on its own batteries for portability.

I'm expecting to someday drive across the entire country again (Massachusetts back to California again--as my brother and I have done many times before). A three-day trip of driving 24-hours a day, non-stop... and I have a 40GB Seagate drive that runs off USB power.. but it has a split cable. I also have a tiny nickel-sized mini-USB A to female USB A adapter... and a car adapter for USB plugins and a car adapter for my N800.. and a three-way splitter for the car's power receptacle. Seems to work remarkably well in my experiments. I see geeks.com has external 750GB hard drives bundled with USB 2.0 compatible and externally powered cases. (Yes, I plugged in a 750GB SATA w/ USB to the N800... and it worked great too.) :) It certainly beats swapping out SD cards and hard drives are a LOT faster too.

It doesn't beat just having a massive SDHC card already in there and only carrying around the N8x0 under other circumstances, mind you, but for huge collections of anything it's still cheaper than any equivalent SDHC (and in larger sizes impossible to find in SDHC).

Just throwing that idea back out there, in case it makes better sense or saves some money for someone.

Today's price, all USB external HD:
1 TB (in case you have not learned this word, a Tera, a 1000 Giga)
$150 shipped newegg.com
750 GB $110 shipped ?
500 GB $79.99 newegg.com
160 GB palmsize $69 buy.com

USB ExtHD price has come down a lot in the last 30 days.

My N8x0 outfits? Constantly swapping with 500G 3.5" HD, 160 G 2.5" HD, and 16 G SDHC.
