    I had that old version of the chart by controlav saved to my local drive but hadn’t saved who did it. I went back and credited the image which I should have done earlier.

    Hi @controlav - I noted that your chart shows no Play:3 512mb model. Ifixit did a teardown of a Play:3 in 2013 and found 512mb NAND and RAM chips.

    My chart is based on devices in the wild, that declare their capabilities. I don’t have telemetry that matches the hardware you describe. It is also possible that Sonos simply bought larger memory devices (because they were cheaper than the older, smaller devices) and don’t use that extra memory.

    How interesting- I wonder then if they have software-limited the memory and could open it up in future. I wonder what the real range of possible devices is out there.

    Sonos never tells until they are ready to release a change so about all you can do if follow the official announcements.

    You can look for FCC filings and such but they don’t make much sense to most folks.
