Whats the largest CF card anyone has got working with JJOSXL

I've got 4gb loaded in but I've heard a rumour people were using 16gb!?!?

How high can one go?

I got a 32 gig in mine,but it came with the Mpc.

is this in a 1000 or 2500?

If this is the case in theory you could one do away with the solid state upgrade and just have a large CF card?

It's in a 2500,because of a card of this size I may not install a hard drive. I still have alot of space left.

64GB... I upgraded from 32GB... I imagine you'll be able to use most of a 128GB whenever they come down in price.

The better question though... can you, with a straight face... say you really need more than 2-4GB of wav storage space... or are you like me and just carrying too much junk?

how about read/write speed comparison between the CF and a hard drive?

I got a 16GB in my 2500 and it's more than enough storage space for me. If I'm transfering a few files I'll leave it in my MPC and connect to my pc via the MPC's usb but if I'm transfering a large amount of files I'll take my cf card out of the MPC and use the card reader that I have connected to my pc; it transfers the files way faster that way.

I feel you on that I really need to get my card organized.

I've got a 120gig HD in mine and even after many years I've still only used up 14 gig. Much of that is made up of a sample library I hardly ever use because I tend to get my samples again from scratch when I start a track.
I save all samples and project data in a separate folder for each project too.

My hard drive (stock 2500LE) is much, much faster. I haven't tried any super fast CF or anything though.

Hello,

you guys are speaking about the 2k5,
What is the biggest card for the 1K that is working,
only the 2GB or does the JJXL allows for more ?

Ye, the loading from a CF card on my MPC1000 does seem to be a bit slow.. Time to get an HDM-10.

I use an 8GB CF card, but it does not have much stuff on it, so I'm not sure if the MPC actually sees all of the 8GB.

it's a 2 year old comparison but check that post from Triple-X

I did my own test when I bought a new CF CARD last year and I think I had faster figures.

I had a 1k about 6 months ago with the same 16gb cf card that is now in my 2500. I had no problems with it in my old 1k and just like in my 2500 I was able to see the whole 16gb (it's actually about 15 point something gb, I forgot the exact size that it recognizes)

when i fix up my other mpc i'm gonna take the HD out of my existing one and replace it with a solid state CF card ala the sticky in the 1000 forum because it'll be my live machine and i don't want moving parts.
