I saw one of these and wondered... is the ESP8266 able to handle that much (32M) flash?

Or is it some marketing ploy?

The price is not to bad though... :)

Upon further reflection... I think the seller must mean 32Mb (or 4MB).

Nevermind.

Be VERY careful - many are either poorly advertised or just plain designed to mislead, since a common configuration is 4Mbyte (which is 32Mbit), and what many have thought was 32Mbyte ended up being a 4Mbyte module. I would bet it is 4Mbytes.

Definitely it is 4MB board - see one of the Feedbacks: "This is NOT a 32MB as advertised in the product description, but rather a 4MB !!! I had to open a dispute, and obviously AE refunded the wasted money."
