We don't talk enough about the challenges caused by ever-larger SD card sizes.

Older equipment that can only use 2GB or 4GB cards? Difficult to use when the lowest capacities start at 32GB.

@hackaday Ugh. My Zoom recorder apparently paws through every bit on the SD card when it boots.

If I had a 1G SD card in there, I'd be able to store close to 10 hours of audio.

I never need that. I need a few hours, tops.

But the smallest I can find that works is 32G. It takes something like 4 minutes to boot because of the big SD card.

Smaller capacity ones seem to be factory rejects and sold as a fraud you're unlikely to bother returning because they're so cheap.
