i have been looking around. it seems that 512gb chips do exist. but are labeled "automotive" what does this mean exactly? are they the right type? what kind of "socket" if you will do these eMMC chips sit on? so i know to keep an eye out for them becuase i want to be the first human to say i have a 1tb switch. "theoredically"
Maybe try following this guide to create a NAND image from scratch using your biskeys?
I'm sorry, I'm not really the right person to ask; I have no clue about almost any of this stuff
This is a thread about upgrading the eMMC with a blank chip with larger capacity than the original one through soldering. You probably want to look into replacing the whole module, which seems easy enough: You can buy something like this, which, if I'm not mistaken, comes with HOS pre-installed. This requires no soldering
it seems that i got Gigabit confused with Gigabyte. but i can see the 256gb do exist
i would go with the third-hand sites that ship overseas if i was you. depends on the chip your looking for. any idea what size?
The chip for the Switch is one thing, but here other people have already done all the work and posted names/links for compatible chips. I was more curious to the process of finding a compatible chip if you only know the serial number of a chip you want to replace. I mean, what factors would you consider (other than the physical size, of course)? How do you know what to look for, and where does one look?
i would start with throwing the Serial into google and seeing what comes up.
All right, sure. Maybe this subject is too big to discuss it in depth in a thread like this, but thanks for the reply anyway
im not really the best person as i have no soldering experience and i am having trouble finding the chips myself. do you know if anyone has gotten a 256gb to work?
I don't think so, but mostly because it seems to be hard to source the 256GB chip (at least OP wrote so in his tutorial). Someone did a 128GB install that worked though, and I assume that a 256GB (or maybe any size if the chips exist) would work if you follow the tutorial
.
different kind of chip NAND doesn't has a controller i believe. plus the socket is differentI have a broken 120GB SSD here, but the memories are different and are even lower than the stock from the Switch
Samsung have nice Emmc chips, they keep increasing its size... maybe the 256GB inside phones could be compatible if you have a very high end phone and it brokes beyond repair, but I don't even have a clue if its a single 256GB chip or 2 128GB chips or whatever.
.
The ones from the SSD yes, they are just memories and the controller is somewhere on its motherboard...
I'm thinking we can only go to around 128GB because I can't see any 256 one with the same pinout.
Doesn't mean is that later someone could actually start selling a different memory with its own board that could still be compatible with switch from their different board design, I don't know how much would it change in the pineouts from the switch emmc board connector to something like the latest 256GB emmc chips
ps: I just wish someone start selling like on ebay or some crap a full board+emmc just plug-n-play for a low price.
