How to Optimize and Maximize your Memory Card Storage?

Your data in MMC are held in many (disk) blocks.
So when you format utilizing 16K block, the storage used is going to be 16K although your file is merely 1K.

If you purchase MMC, it's generally pre-formatted with 16K blocks. As a result much storage is worthless as many installed software files are generally smaller than 10K.

You'll require a card reader for this:-

  1. Connect your card reader and transfer your entire files in the MMC to PC disk. (Be sure you adjust the show all/hidden files to "on")
  2. Then format the MMC using the usual command line "format" and also use the /A=size tag. Alternatively, you may use the Disk Management located in Administrative Tools to format the card. Be sure you choose FAT. For 256MB MMC, lowest block you may use is 4K, 2k for128MB, 1k for 64Mb and 512 byte for 32MB. (Note: You may not use the phone's "format MMC" feature to do it since the data formatting just erase the allocation table and doesn't alter the block size)
  3. Copy back every file to MMC.

Now you will discover that you'll have more storage.
256 Mb MMC will got back 30+ Mbs
