Emax

For what it's worth,
I use a 32GB (max supported) SanDisk in my Rev. C HxC w/ my EII all the time no issues.

You will need to reformat from time to time. Any issues I've had then seem to go away. So backup the contents regularly.

Have you tried a fresh reformat?

Fortunately i found a third one in an old smartphone that seems to work (for now).
