  • Yeah, it does smell like a compatibility issue. In consumer devices we use SD/SDHC cards interchangeably while they are not really.

    Looking at e.g. Sandisk's documentation, their upper limit for SD card is 2GB as well. Instead of NewEgg that you linked, checking Transcend's SD card lineup on their original site, the largest SD Standard is 2GB. I would have doubts whether the NewEgg one is genuine, there are way too many fake SD cards out there...

    If the manufacturer says that it should support up to 32GB, maybe the best is then to get a couple of different capacity cards from different vendors, and get testing... They are quite cheap these days. Though it feels fishy to me that the manufacturer's website says one thing and the support says another. From experience, usually the support is wrong in most such cases.
