Hi fi, How much storage does it come w/? Conspicuously missing from the description for a storage devise. Do I Pay extra for every drop of storage?

Unfortunately the X5 has no on-board storage. However, it does have 2 slots for up to 128Gb of trans-flash in each slot for a total capacity of 256GB of storage. Future firmware upgrades will increase this. This allows for infinite expandibility as the device was designed to play uncompressed, high resolution files which can get very large. As an aside, the Fiio X3 comes with 8Gb of internal storage before adding any external flash.

Best Buy has been running 2 GB's for 54.99, online and in store - reg. 189.00 - it ends today. I haven't ck'd this am but they still had some yesterday afternoon. No rebates, they handle all those , finally a company that understands how frustrating getting those rebates actually mailed to you is - so the 54.99 is the pay for price, my state taxes + S&H; came to $64.64. Can't get 2GB's at that price anywhere. But check to see what your laptops max expansion is - my laptop has a 4GB max - some have NONE.

Hi John. The one I purchased was a 4 GB and that equates to about 3.75 GB of actual space to load music. There is programing in the drive so you lose a few MBs off that. I do like mine a lot and it is really so compact and easy to use; nothing to mess with, just load and play. I hope this helps. Mick

It's got 8GB of built in storage. (Ends up being like 6.5GB after you account for system storage/pre-installed apps).

All depends on what you plan to use it for. Usually more is better. I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me. I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one. There is an expansion slot on all.

Right now I have on one of mine, 13.9GB of total usable space (the other 2.1BG takes up the operating system). I currently have 4.35GB of free space left open. The other part is filled up with the following content: That includes 113 full albums averaging between 6 to 15 songs per album using 4.40GB of space and 59 music videos that is using 5.12GB of the storage space. The music videos are assorted sizes form 3.10MB to 177MB. I am always adding and removing songs and videos depending upon what style of music I'm into at the time. It's all drag and drop when you sync it to the player in your pc so moving things around is easy. I always try to leave at least 1 or more GB of free space open so that the music videos don't get jerky. I own more than one of these and it's really more about having not running out of battery before I can get back to recharge. Music uses a lot less battery, but the videos can wear down the battery pretty fast. These are small and very portable and I use them plugged into the car stereo for road trip music playlists and while waiting around in long lines, etc. at sci-fi conventions where it's not easy to get back to the room to recharge. Probably TMI but I hope this helps you in some way!

I put my media on micro sd cards which are pretty crazy cheap now. The unaccounted for space is in system partitions.

I bought mine through Apple, so I customized it with 256GB of storage. I paid $1629, with the student discount, so if it's much lower then that, I'd say it's the 128GB version. Anyway, I'd trust the product description, if it says 128GB, that's what it is.

Hi Ted, Unfortunately this model doesn't comes with SD slot, it's something I still don't understand why. Though mine came with 1 year free Dropbox included. I got many apps and songs and still have 3gb memory free. Is up to you how much memory you need to use.

I too just purchased this new and put in a brand new laptop , and only shows 29.27 gb freespace, almost 3gb less than advertised. It does say on the packaging that "a certain portion of capacity may be used for system files and maintenance, thus the actual capacity may differ from that indicated on the product label". So I'm assuming all is well with mine.

60mb??? why would you want something you can fit less than an hours worth of music on? ooooooh a typo...right.just remember this is their flagship model, bigger ones will come out...just dont spend your money yet if you dont want something that can only hold a weeks worth of audio...

$100 more bucks for an extra 28~gigs? ouch. might as well just buy the 32gb edition and then pick up a Sandisk 128gb SD card that comes out soon (yes, it's compatible) and get more for your money. just my opinion though!

It used to be advertised as 8gb. It's actually a little less (7.6 I think). But it holds plenty of music

I just finished installing this 1TB and it worked like a charm... 828GB free out of 931GB. I'll update this if any thing changes...

As big as you can buy? Storage card is not dependent on anything...it is considered an external device. We have a 16gb and I routinely dump 3000 pictures over a month. Most I ever had was 4200
