5 comments about SanDisk 2GB MicroSD/TransFlash Card with SD Adapter (SDSDQ-2048, Bulk Package).
- It just works. :)
There is not much to say really. I put this card in my Z9 and it just worked. :) Happy costumer here.
- This is a counterfiet San Disk memory card. It does not come as pictured!!!
- I bought this to expand the song capacity on my sansa. I also like the fact that it comes with the adapter so I can use it in my digital camera as well. It's a nice multi-purpose micro sd card, made by a reliable company. Since it's bulk packaged it does not come in retail packaging, in case that bothers you.
- Hummm...I don't know if SanDisk would approve of the use of their likeness for this product. It looks an awfully lot like a knock-off, but it was probably produced in the same overseas factory as the real SanDisk.
I got this to put in the EnV2 and it works fine. Connected to XP system via USB card reader and it works fine.
- Three computers and a printer would not recognize this card, so in exasperation I took it to Best Buy to find out why. Turns out the adapter was faulty. BlueProton did not refund shipping for faulty merchandise, so there was no way I would try another card to see if it were a fluke. Why should I have to pay shipping 2X to test their products?

5 comments about Transcend 16GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 SPD CLASS 6) with Compact Card Reader.
- This product gives the versatility of a SDHC card that can be used in lots of devices like Digital Photo Cameras, some MP3 players, and others.
(Just be sure your device supports the newer SDHC format, many only support the older lower capacity SD).
Also, when used with the Compact Card reader, it can be used like if it were a USB memory stick, altough because of the way the SDHC card is inserted on the reader, it's not to be used in agressive environments or applications.
Read/Write speeeds are up to its Class 6, which are good enough for me.
16 GB is a LOT of storage space! Almost four DVD's full of files can be stored in this little piece of plastic/silicon.
Have used this product for a couple of weeks without problems, but it's still too early to judge its long term reliability.
Overall, I think that the price per GB, the speed and the convinience makes it a good value.
- Watch out for early death on these cards. I put mine in a Canon XSi and did a low-level format - worked fine. Took some shots, put the card in the USB connector, sucked all the pics off, deleted them, then put the card back in the camera. Camera doesn't think there's a card in it. Tried a low level format: no dice. Plug back into USB connector and back into PC - PC won't recognize card exists, no way, no how. All in less than a week.
Bought a second card, ran the same sequence except I used the camera to delete all pictures, not the PC. Everything seems to be working fine after 3 days. Will update if any change.
- I bought the card and reader to use with a new Canon FS100 camcorder and it works perfectly. I have had no problems with the card, it is fast and it loads on both my Vista Laptop and IMac.
- I have had this card and my new 10.2MP Nikon D80 for 3 weeks and both work very well together. The card holds 1,200 photos (I shoot RAW only) and since I use Auto-Bracketing, I really only get 400 unique shots per card. That is a few hours for me. Quick tip- as soon as you get a memory card (any card), format it on the camera (not the computer) and then ONLY use it with that camera. Switching cards between cameras will sometimes corrupt them.
I like the media card reader that comes with it since a lot of older computers with card readers will not recognized an SDHC card. With or without the card reader, this card is wicked fast too. My 2 GB SD card would take 45 minutes to offload the images on the built in card reader. This card and reader can offload 2 GB of images in 90 to 120 seconds on the same machine!
I liked this card so much, I bought two more last week.
- This memory card and card reader worked great on my trip to Europe in July 08. 16 gb is a lot of memory. I like the idea of memory car instead of DVD because it is easy to edit. The memory card reader allows me to use the memory card in any computer. Canon has a great idea with this product.

5 comments about Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader).
- I bought several of these memory cards because I consider Sandisk to be the "gold standard" for SD cards. Unfortunately all my cards were locked - I can use them on a computer, but not in a camera. I understand there's a switch on the card that locks it but it was in the unlocked position. I tried formatting them in my camera and on my computer. No luck. I didn't discover this until I was in Europe ready to take pictures on a recent vacation. Beware!
- I got this memory card with my camera order and it's great, I mean there's no need for another memory card (especially if you're just taking pictures).
The writing speed is fast and 4 gigs is plenty of space for the price I paid for this...
- I purchased two of these 4 GB Scan Disk thinking I could use them in my Nikon D80 and they work fine in the Camera except my New Dell 2008 desktop and Dell 2007 laptop will not read them. I am of the option that Dell has major technical problems with their third world country machines and tech support anyway. I took 4GB to the local Wal Mart and they claim that they plan to upgrade their readers in the near future to read the 4 GB. It says in the advertisement : Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader) Im not sure what that last part means No Reader I suppose it means it you can't read them. At this time I have over $40.00 in unreadable junk.
- Good memory card for the price, will keep you from needing to take pictures off of it for a long time before running out of space.
- No reader probably means no manual + box.
Looks like a counterfeit, made in china. The colour is off compared to the 4gb product on sandisk website.
2 very obvious scratches on the back.
Works well on camera and Dell XPS laptop so far.
Oh well...it's pretty damn cheap.

5 comments about SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Card (SDSDQ-8192, Bulk Package).
- I have a Blackberry Curve with the beta version of OS 4.5 and I used this 8GB microSD card and I now have a portable "flash stick" with me all the time. I carry my Blackberry everywhere I go and sometimes when I need to copy a large file, and I forget my 2GB flash stick, I can simply just transfer to my 8GB in my Blackberry. Just remember, this will not work in the Blackberry OS 4.2 - you can only go up to 4GB max. Make sure you upgrade!
- I purchased this for a my Samsung Instinct. The device shows the full capacity of the card (7788 Mb) and works well. Ordered from Netweb who promptly shipped it and received it in 3 days.
- I bought this here at Amazon for the BlackJack 2 and it totally works. It reads as 7782 disk space which is still cool. I was able to put any files (music, video, etc.) and it was fine. I deleted/transferred multiple times and it was fine. It definitely is the size of my pinky finger or less so be very careful that you don't lose it. I too can't wait for the day when there is a 32gb because I heard that may still work for the Blackjack 2.
- First of all, this was the best deal I could find online and offline.
It shipped super fast, and it works very well, and the seller communicates well!
- I tested the possibility of using my BlackBerry 8310 Curve as my primary mp3 player with an inexpensive Kingston 2GB microSD card. I ran into several issues in the process, but learned how to overcome them.
The Curve limits the file size transfers when they are sent to the phone's storage. This protects the phone from running out of memory. The trick is ensuring you are transferring files to the card instead. If you map drives on your computer, the first available drive is automatically used for the Curve's memory card. At home this is my F drive while at work it is K. If any other device is mapped to that drive, the Curve's memory card will not be recognized.
Additionally, there are settings that may need to be changed to allow music file transfers. Go to "Settings", then "Options" to click on "Media Card." Set "Mass Storage Mode Support" to ON. Also set the "Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected" to YES or PROMPT.
Initially to save music, I needed to remove the card from my Curve and transfer files directly from my computer. This is where the adapter, which converts the microSD card to full-sized SD card, comes in handy. After removing the Curve's battery, I simply popped the microSD card into the adapter and used my computer's SD drive. Do not format the card in the Curve, as it will only recognize half the storage space. If you must format, do so on your computer instead. Now that I have everything set up properly, this card does the job without worries.
PROS:
Good price
Reliable card
CONS:
None

5 comments about Kingston DTI 4 GB USB Flash Drive.
- I've had this for possibly a month or two so far and it works fine on all 3 of my machines. I use it daily.
- Bought this to use as a back up for my hard drive since the price was good for what I needed. Seems to work fine-just plug it in and you're ready. I wouldn't want to use it for everyday stuff since the cap could easily be lost- I have a different style for that purpose.
- Great device. Does everything it's supposed to, doesn't have any accompanying software. As far as I can tell there's only one downside. Normally I use the device as a means to transport files between work and home. 90% of the time I transfer the files off the memory key before altering them. Every time I've actually worked on or altered the file directly from the memory key, that file seems to disappear from the complete list of files. Not sure if anyone else has encountered this. Again, other than that, it's a dream.
- I am hooked on flashdrives. This one has been great so far. I have 4 of them. Perfect for storing music and photos that were taking so much room on my harddrive. We had a LOT of music and photos. Also great as a backup for my pictures. I put an extra copy on one flashdrive and I store it at work - in case of fire or if one gets damaged. SO MUCH easier than copying it all to CDs.
- This is a reasonably good drive. Works as it is supposed to and inexpensive. I use it to back up important documents off site and keep it in my back pack. The case looks and feels a bit cheap and the end cap does not fit very tightly suggesting that eventually it will fall off. I prefer a solid "click" when placing the cap like is the case on my Lexar flash drive. However, the Lexar is designed to hang from the cap while the Kingston hangs from the body of the drive. Anyway, I think I got my money's worth with the Kinston drive.

5 comments about SanDisk 2GB SD Memory Card (SDSDB-2048, Bulk Package).
- This is a general 2gb memory card. And lets you hold a lot of space on your camera. If that is what you use it for. I was able to hold 1700 photos on my camera with little sucker!
- If you buy this product be aware that the shipping cost pretty much offsets the great price. I got mine at Circuit City for $14.99. I don't know how they get away charging twelve bucks to ship someting that you could probably ship with a standard envelope and stamp!
- Bought this to go with my new Canon a720. At full resolution can hold over 500 photos. Works great.
- I placed an order for 3 of these SD cards, thinking they were are great deal at about $4 each. When I saw the shipping charge, though, I reconsidered. The SD cards came to $12.03, but shipping & handling was $18.97! Actual mailing costs has to be under $2 for these things, so the seller is luring people in with a low product cost and making a killing on the shipping.
- i have a cannon a560,and purchased the sandisk 2.0gb card. the only problem is the card is to slow after each picture you take. you have to wait 3 or 4 seconds before you can take another picture. my 512mb card works alot faster,but you can not take half as many pics. i think the 2.0gb is just to big for this particular camera.

5 comments about Sandisk 4GB MicroSDHC Memory Card with SD Adapter (BULK Packaging).
- I have a samsung glyde and this product works great, and it was a great deal, much better than going through traditional retailers.
It came with the micro sdhc card and sd adapter, and i didnt have any problems with my (Vista) computer's card reader recognizing this card.
I just hope i hope 4GB is enough memory for me, as i intend on doubling my phone as a mp3 player now ; )
- I got this and a 2 dollar usb card reader. Transfered all my music in minutes to the card, popped into phone, perfect, no problems. Plays an amazing amount of cds on such a small card. Wow! The motorola even kept the same song layout, cateogories, artists, etc from musicmatch jukebox (dell) which I usually use with windows xp to play music on my computer. It can read all 4 gig. Again ... wow!
- This isn't so much of a review as just an FYI. It doesn't say anywhere in the product information but this is a class 2 card.
- Well, a complaint more on the supplier than the product itself. The micro was deffective(like my spelling)... Which isn't a big issue, this stuff just happens. I sent it back, filled out the paper work. then nothing for a couple weeks. so i called. and they refunded my money(i think i got lost in the shuffle). of course i asked them, "why did you do that? i wanted you to send me a new one like the paperwork stated." i never got a response. i suppose it's better then them keeping my money, but customer service is def lacking there.
- The quality of Sandisk flash memory is superior. Durable, fast transfer speed. The most I like about this product is the memory size of the Micro SD. I use it as storage of music on my PDA phone, with 3.80GB actual space, who still need to carry an i pod around.

5 comments about Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card (SD/2GB, Retail Package).
- This product works as well as a higher priced memory card. I have had no problems with it. It arrived very quickly.
- I bought this card (Kingston 4GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Card SD6/4GB) for my Casio EX-V8. There's nothing more that I can say about it except for that it works and it works great. As long as you use it with an SDHC compatible device you should be straight. Although one downside for me by no fault of the card is that the SD card reader built into my computer isn't compatible with SDHC cards so it won't read it. Otherwise this is highly recommend for it's amazingly low price on amazon.com
- This order worked out perfectly. No complaints. I would do business with this vendor again.
- Nothing to complain about. this SD Card works as expected. Would buy it again, would recommend it to friends. Great Value to price ratio.
- I purchased the Kingston 2GB MicroSD memory card for my new LG Scoop from Alltel. I had never had a phone that utilized it but I have found it to hold a lot of my pictures and music and the full size adapter works well with my digital camera as well. I purchased another one for my boyfriend to use as well!

5 comments about Transcend 8GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6).
- I bought two of these to take to Hawaii and use in my Nikon D40X. Both worked perfectly and arrived on time.
- It was cheap when I bought it. It's a lot cheaper now. And it's still working with no problems in my Canon Ixus 900Ti. I'd recommend it. Actually if you're like me and use your digicam to record a lot of videos, I'd say get a 16GB Class 6 SDHC card. They don't cost that much more.
- I was planning a long vacation through Vegas and the Grand Canyon. I wanted to be sure I had more than enough room without having to keep track of multiple memory cards. This card alone handled about 1500 pictures and 35 minutes of video from my Canon camera. It was everything I expected.
- OK, so the Zen software doesn't bring it up under the same menu as the internal memory... For this price, I can live with that. AND it isn't the fault of the card, anyway. It is easy to pop it in and double the storage on my Creative Labs 8 GB ZEN MP3 player. This one was on their list as compatible, and it is. Now I'm thinking about picking up a few more to expand my preloaded library.
- I have used Transcend products in the past and as in the past their 8GB SDHC Card lives up to what I expected. Totally reliable products!!!!

5 comments about Kingston Data Traveler 2 GB USB Drive (DTI/2GB).
- At a very competitive price, this Kingston Data Traveler USB drive comes in distinctive green and white colors that are easily recognized in a dark drawer or case. With 2G capacity it holds a lot of information, certainly enough for a whole college year. The slot at the end is for a carry string, maybe to go round your neck if you tend to lose small things. And it shows up on your computer with the word "Kingston" so there is instant access - no stopping to work out which drive it is using. A very useful 5 star product.
- Not much to really say. It was a good price, easy to order, prompt delivery and they work great.
- A good product at a good price. Helps me get data transfered and stored while I am travelling or shuttling to a meeting where they dont allow personal laptops.
-
This product works well. I had a few problems using to upload from Win 98... I had to download a program from Kingston in order to do this! After I did the drive worked fine.
- First flash drive I've personally seen that allows you to stick the cap on the back while it is plugged in. I've lost several other flash drive caps, but I won't ever lose this one!
