At the german drummerforum Deve Loper wrote that the OS can read SD cards up to 32GB. This was end of 2010 so not the latest version of the OS. But i don't think that this has changed. So buying a 64GB card for the 2Box brain could be wasted money.

Lots of us are using 32GB cards with the latest OS. No different from the previous OS as far as that goes. The reason for using an SDHC card extender for one thing is you cannot access the card (any card over 4GB) via USB when it is inside the module. You need to use the card in a card reader to make changes like adding new files via your computer or using the Sound Editor, etc.
I could tell you where to stick that piezo! :D ;)

any idea where I can get an extension cable? Checked the net and it wasn't all that helpful.

Received a 32 GB Card (Sandisk Extreme) as suggested by Jman. For some reason my external card reader does not find the card, and it will not find the 4 GB card that came in the 2Box module as well. Any suggestions. My OS is Windows 7. My card reader is a Vantec 8 in 1 Card Reader and USB 2.0 Hub.

Thanks.

The card reader in my Win 7 PC is pretty much worthless. Pc is less than a year old and I put the card reader in myself when I got the PC ... it worked OK for several months .... anyway the point is, card readers and Windows 7 are hit or miss in my experience, but the cheap little USB card readers like this one never fail me:

I keep a few on hand since they are so cheap.

I had the same problem with the Sandisk Extreme... I tried to reformat the card and then it worked but kept making a weird scratching noise.. I switched to a Kingston brand 32gb class 10 card...no problems so far

I checked that Ebay link but they do not ship to Canada. I would rather buy something that has been proven to work than try out a bunch of different ones myself. Could I buy one of those from you Jman?

Thanks.

There's about a Bazillion of those on eBay Canada ... they are all pretty much the same generic cheap card reader, I've just bought the cheapest ones I could find when I bought em ... blue seems to be the popular color today ;D

Are you sure you got a genuine Sandisk Extreme card? There are plenty of fakes being sold. I bought one fake that was like that.... returned it. The other 3 are genuine (visually you can tell the difference) and don't need formatting. The genuine Extreme cards should not need formatting, and you don't want to format the card for optimum performance according to Deve Loper.

OK....Thanks JMan.

I did pick up a card reader today at Staples that does work with my system.

Cheers!
