Transcend 4,141,875,200 bytes, 58 min HD-SHQ.
Adata 3,998,220,228 bytes, 56 min HD-SHQ.
Both work fine!

Hmmm I had the same thing with some 2gig cards for my mpeg10w's One reports 2:28 while the other reports 2:32 (hours:minutes)

and they are both ADATA one is 50x and the other is 150x

how about we all post our total space for our 4gb cards ? I will get mine later tonight and check it I know its 58:xx (min:sec)

Hi David,

The formatting of the card can influence its size. Not formatting in the sense of pressing the format button, but rather the format options for cylinders, heads, and sectors. It would be interesting to know if the formatting options on your two cards match. If not, it might explain the reduced space on the Adata.
