    i have a 4GB micro SD CARD and my e250 seems not to be able to use it. Is there a solution for this? Or I just have to forget about it ?

    I've been using the e250 (2gb) with a 2gb microsd with success so thought I'd try the 4gb. Bought a Kingston 4gb. Windows XP sees it but cannot format it. Windows Media Player doesn't acknowledge it's existence. Using the MSC USB mode. Any ideas?

    I was told by SanDisk tech support that if my unit (e250) was version 1 then 2gb was max for SD card. If it is ver. 2 (noted on the back I'm told) then it will support the 4gb.

According to what I've read, you can double the original memory, but no more than that, so the max you can have on a Sansa e250 would be 4 GB (2GB internal memory and 2GB external memory). I also read that the micro SD cards holds
music only-no video.

Not the E250, but the E260. The device seems unable to utilize the extra memory for music.A scam. Buy a ZEN.

I need to know the maximum GB external micro sd card I can put in a sansa E260 4 GB Mp3 player and a sansa express 1gb mp3 Player.

Hi,

thank you for choosing Fixya.com

you can use 4GB it is the applicable memory on your mp3.
if you will try to use much higher than 4gb sometimes it is the reason why our player are hanging up.

please don't forget to rate our answers properly.

Micro sd probelem

Well, the most memory from a micro sd card the Sansa mp3 player can take is 2gb, because anything more will freeze up the player because it was not designed to read that much memory. So if you have a 1gb or a 2gb memory card, then you can use them.

My Sansa e260 won't recognise a 4gig micro card.

There are two types of 4gig micro sd,

theres MicroSDHC For nokia phones or
MicroSD Standard
The HC have a file format on them that only Nokias and Samsungs tend to recognise for mobile data transfer and access. The standard cards don't.

Hope this helps

Micro sd 4gb card problems.

Check the Sansa tutorials at http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1468
to make sure you have followed all the steps first.

In my experience, every mp3 player/photo frame/etc with a card reader has a MAXIMUM memory limit for the type of card that it can read. It is possible that the Sansa player can only read 2GB Micro SD cards or smaller - and thisi nformation may not have been available when they printed the manual. If you have followed all instructions, and it still will not read the card, try switching to a 2GB Micro SD card.

4 GB micro sd and the Sandisk Sansa e250R...

If the 4gb micro SD is a high capacity SD (it will say micro SDHC on it) your player may not be able to read SDHC cards, my sansa can't because it's the 'older version' it will read 2gb and below micro SD cards though (it sucked when I found out because I had just bought a 6gb micro SDHC)
