I was curious about the formatting of SD cards.
I did a Web search and this is what I found on EHOW:
You may notice an increase in the transfer speed of the SD card if you
set it to FAT32; however, most electronic devices such as digital cameras
will not recognize the card if it isn't set to FAT16.
I know that Rickard found some recording problems with faster cards.
Has anybody explored formatting the cards in FAT16 as opposed to FAT32?
This could lead to some interesting information.
Greg?
What do the Humminbird techs say as to the very best SD format type for use in
all HB units? Is it FAT16 or FAT32?
I know when I bought my cards, they were already formatted.
If the default format is FAT16 and the units can use FAT32,
we may be able to gain a little speed in recording and playback.
We've always got to be looking for an improvement in performance,
don't you all agree?
