How much actual space is available on the 32 gb Patriot supersonic xpress flash drive? I need at least 29 gb.

When formatted properly there was plenty of space. Around 30 I think. But drive died after 2 months.

I bought the 16GB variety. Freshly formatted in Windows 7, it states that there are 15,897,395,200 bytes free with 131,072 bytes used. In that sense, there is essentially 100% space remaining. But the number of bytes in a 16GB should really be 17,179,869,184 so in that sense it really has 92.54% space remaining. In the disk management screen, it says it has "14.81GB free", and 14.81 happens to be 92.56% of 16. Since 14.81 is rounded, I think it's safe to assume that's the how it calculated the space free for display purposes.If you get the exact same free space by percentage, you'd end up with 29.62GB. Googling around, it seems that 29.8GB is the most likely figure. I bought the 16GB variety. Freshly formatted in Windows 7, it states that there are 15,897,395,200 bytes free with 131,072 bytes used.

My Patriot 8GB USB3 drive shows as 7.92GB which is 1% less than the stated capacity. The drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended. I don't know what the Windows number might be.

My computer running Windows 7 Ultimate reports Capacity 31,005,667,328 bytes 28.8 GB. Hope that helps. Extremely fast by the way.

I do not know the space requirements for that game, but you can look at the back of the game case or google your question. Either way you will use up that 12gb really fast with system updates, game updates, and save files so i would still invest in a internal hard drive. Not an external hard drive as you cannot play your games off of the external.

256GB. You can verify this by looking up this model number on excaliberpc.com

Like Jennifer said less than 1 gb. However, you can add (buy) up to a 32gb micro sd card for games, music, etc. Therefore, that should be more than enough.

This is the 8GB set. You may want to have an HDD or flash drive if you buy the 8GB set. Space gets eaten up VERY quickly. After the installation of the huge update you're left with a little over 2GB

geez you all are so ignorant. the actual space is 64GB but a filesystem is needed to keep track of the files on the disk. how else do you expect it to work without a filesystem?

depends how full... but I have 20 and it is not even half full yet... ( and some are rather bulky)...I would guess 50? 27 inches of file space...

The flash drive is in Fat 32 format which will have limitation on 4GB or below file tranfering. If you format it to NTFS, you can transfer any size of files as long as the whole capacity allows it. Is this what you mean?

Yup, just put a 32GB one in mine. Only shows 29.something gigs, a few short of full capacity, as do all cards and flash drives I wish I knew why and it drives me kooky, hee. But yes, it works. So there you go. Update: Please take note, previously I'd answered that someone informed me the he's using a 64GB card on this unit. He's since informed me that he had mistakenly posted on the wrong thread and intended that info for another player. So I've edited my answer. That said, the info on the 32GB card still stands, as I'm personally using one in my Evo. Cheers

They may release a 64GB flash version of zen x-fi in the near future, but don't bet on it. I find 32gb of great value and you can use SDHC expansion, wifi streaming from wifi server or PC for unlimited usage. I don't think Creative will release any HDD player anytime in the near future. But there could be a larger screen zen x-fi wifi version, that's my bet.

It depends on how much space is on the flash drive you use,I bought one at Xmas time as a gift,they loved it!! It's a great product!

This is Amazon, buddy. If you want info that detailed, google a site that reviews flash drives. I will say that this drive is insanely fast transfering large video files (175mb to several GB's) compared to every other drive I've tried, including: HP v125 USB Flash Drive P-FD4GBHP125-AZ SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive SDCZ36-004G Kingston Digital USB 2.0 Hi-speed Datatraveler Flash Drive DT101G2/4GBZ All of these drives would write at a sustained 3.2 MB/s which was painfully slow and this Patriot drive does 17.5 MB/s. It's over 5x faster.

Most USB devices are formatted FAT32 which only allows 2^32-1 bytes of data (4GB roughly speaking). To overcome this you'd have to format it in a file system that allows larger than 4GB files (like NTFS) or put the file into a spanning compressed file.

Sorry, I run Windows, don't do "I" products, the actual available storage is slightly less than 500GB's, so if you need 500 I'd go bigger, there is a 750 & a 1TB on Amazon

Hi there. I have 32 gb flash drive and am able to get into subfolders without any problem. Also tried with phone storage with in 64gb and not issues. Able to play any song from the root and sub folders as well.

Yes you can put in a larger SSD hard drive. I was looking at one that is 32GB. Forgot the vendor name though. I think it was something patriotic in the name. Maybe Patriot?

Hello Charles. Yes, 32gb is the maximum size we recommend for the USB drive.
