SF8008 UHD MicroSDcard as media/hdd (SanDisk Ultra microSDXC Class 10 UHS-I U1 A1 400GB)

[SuperGlud]

Hi

Does anyone have MicroSDcard running stable as media/hdd on an Octagon SF8008 UHD ?
If so then please tell me the full procedure to make it work.

I tried OpenAtv, OpenBH.
I tried preparing sdcard as NoPartition,exfat,fat32,ext4 before initialising in OpenAtv/BH.

Buffer keeps running full and the sd-card disappears from the devise list ?
(Is it the hardware that cannot do the job, or do i need to do some special trick to make it work ?)

Best regards

Its reporting you have no space left on the device, it could be you have not selected the sd card and backup is going to flash or your sd card is not mounted or formatted correctly.

No it seems like it is impossible to setup and use a MicroSDcard as stable media/hdd on a SF8008 UHD.
Please prove me wrong.

I dont have an sd card of that size i have 128gb in mine.

Im sure a read of a problem with SD card above that size but it may have been a Zgemma issue.

128gb is also an issue on the sf8008

128gb is also an issue on the sf8008

Thanks for that. I have mine working ok since i bought it just after release, with 128gb car which is just a cheap kingston. Strange.

Maybe the kingston sd card is a bit slower and therefore the sf8008 "copes" with it ?

Or maybe the sf8008 just doesn't like sandisk cards.

Have you got any other cards that you can try, if none work its the machine and try a different image or complain to where ever you brought it from

Would be slower then, which maybe why it's not an issue

Possibly mate ive had upto 92 gig of recordings on it without a problem.

If id not got that card in a old phone id of used a USB stick but used what i had handy.

FYI:
This MicroSDcard is working perfectly on the Octagon SF8008.

Manufacturer: Kingston
Model: SDCS2/128GBSP
Ean: 740617299076
Kingston Canvas Select Plus - 128 GB - microSDXC UHS-I
A1 / Video Class V10 / UHS Class 1 / Class10

So it seem like Octagon SF8008 do not like SanDisk cards ?
Could this be some kind of "Driver" / "firmware" issue ?

Best regards

It looks that way.

But a 400gb Kingston would probably fail also as capacity is what ive always understood to be the main issue.

Not necessarily, as the 128gb SanDisk cards is failing too.
And the fact that the SF8008 is sold with 400gb sd-card (as harddisk) looks like it is not the size that is the problem.

Give it a try with a Kingston 400gb card mate.

Im not too bothered 128gb has been more than enough for me.

At least it expels the myth SD card dont work in them.
