I am considering purchasing a Sandisc Micro SDHC 8Gb card for my Sandisc E260 MP3 Player. Will this be OK?

It's because the e260 is designed to work with microSD cards, not with microSDHC cards. You need to go with microsD cards 2GB and smaller.

The e260 will not recognize any microSDHC cards. It will only use microSD cards, which are limited to a maximum of 2GB in size.

From what ive found the max expansion card it supports is 6gb they might offer support for higher capacity cards with a firmware update but as of right now no they don't

I will have to double-check the documentation that came with that specific MP3 player, but I know that some Sansas will only support upto 2 GB in the expansion slot.

In order to use an 8gb micro sd, the device has to be SDHC approved. If you don't see an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) logo on the device or on the owners manual, It isn't compatible. It will read up to a 2 gb micro sd card.

I read somewhere that a 4 GB Micro SD card is the largest you can put in the SanDisk Sansa E260 expansion slot. It's maximum capacity is 8 GB, with internal + external memory put together. This is from what I've read. Hope this helps.

The Sansa e260 can only use microSD cards. I believe the 4GB model can only handle the 1 or 2 GB cards. If you try to do any SDHC ones, then you may run into problems. I suggest right clicking the SD card on your computer screen after it pops up. Select Properties. There can be some help in this area. I suggest going to tools, and check for error problems.

The chip may be locked - consult the documentation for details. Also, that card is too big for the e260 to read - 2GB or less.

I don't think that these support SDHC. Basically if a product doesn't say anything about a feature, it doesn't have it.

well buddy sorry for the bad news but you better stick to the regular micro sd only cause they havent gauranteed the use of sdhc and secondly our sansa os can support only 2gb by default of card..so dont dream... but the good news is if you install rockbox to your player you could use a 8gb card with ease.. www.rockbox.org but your on your own with rockbox its an opensource software for mp3player and its developed by nearly 350 people accross he world
