micro SD cards -- actual size vs. claims
#1
Please share your actual free space results, on microSD cards without any known defects, with only 1 partition.

SanDisk Ultra UHC-I class 10, red/grey, "32GB" has only 28.7GB of actual space. Partitioning software cannot increase it.

SanDisk says that they define 1 GB as 1000MB, not 1024MB. That would only be 2.3% off, but this card is missing 10.3%. As a result, 16GB images are the largest images that I can use.
