Is there a problem with my memory card?

Ever sinceI bought a one gig memory card, there has been a chunk of memory missing. there is always 949mb left in my 1 gig memory card without a save . Is there an explanation?

Most storage devices have this problem, although its not really a problem. My 30 gig ipod came with about 28 gig of memory. It's all due to formatting by the company and folders and what not. Completely normal.

50Mb is quite a big chunk, my 2 gig card had 1990Mb of space right away.

O well, if you fill your card up, pick up a 2 or 4 gig, they are becoming quite cheap.

ok then, thanks. Does it matter if its generic or third party?0bl1v10n_X

Well, if I remember correctly the amount of space missing is different depending on the manufacturer of the card. But I don't think the difference would be much more then 20 MB in either direction.

Otherwise Sandisk cards tend be faster then sony cards.
