Can this SD card be used for XDA2/MDA2? This can transfer write 9Mb/s, and read up to 10Mb/s. Does XDA2/MDA2 support this format speeds?
If yes, is it better to buy this than just a regular SD cards? Because I saw it on the net that they have a sale on this card that almost the same price compare to regular SD card. Less than $70 after rebate.(256Mb)

I´ve got an SanDisk SD card with 256 MB since 2 Years and didn´t have any Problem with it....

PS: Why are you using capital Letters?
There are no problem with sandisk... You can easily use Sandisk!
The Sandisk ultra II will work with XDA2, but I don't know if the XDA2 will write 9MB/s and read the 10MB/s. It will then simply just speed down..
I hope that helps you a bit.
btw, the prize difference is not that big.

Thanks for the input guys, really appreciate it.
@Deathrow: Thanks for the tip!
nothing wrong with sandisk their cards are the most compatable brand out.
ive had my 256mb sandisk too for nearly a year never had one problem with erase or dataloss :\
if only that site delivered to the uk id buy one of them
I have the a 256 MB Scandisk too for over 14 months and had no problems with it.
My brother in law bought a 128 mb sandisk SD card from the US.. and the first time he opened it, tried it - it didn't work. Devices cant read the card, he tried it on a lot of devices, tried formatting it and still cannot be read.. since it was bought from the US, he has no way of returning it..
i agree with the prvious post, that panasonic sd cards are better

so in other words it was faulty? so you compare a faulty card to that of a working one
the sense in that :|
Yes.. its faulty and its a sandisk... get that? I have also browsed through other forums where they have a lot of problems with the sandisk card...
Lexar and Panasonic SD cards are better than Sandisk , in other words, SD cards "made in Japan" are really the best !
After 2 SD Sandisk with the same problem as above (I was happy, as I've bought them in a store in my town, I returned them ..) , I buy only , Lexar or Panasonic , no problem and really fast ...
SANDISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????
I'm in Nigeria where there is no right of return, so you can guess my grief when I shelled out a lot of cash to buy a sandisk 256Mb SD card that turned out to be bad. Since then I buy ONLY lexar. A word is enough for the wise, as the yorubas will say!
I do use few Sandisk SD cards (from 64MB to 512MB) .... and so far so good

SanDisk Ok? not sure...
I bought last year a 256mo SanDisk but after one month, it dead :'(
The seller sent to me another one and all seems to be OK for 1 year. :wink:
For me Sandisk is not ok
I comared the speed of a Sandisk 128MB and some others (i.e. delkin).
Sandisk had only half the Speed (with USB Reader) than the others.
As I tried to open a 4Meg Pocketstreets map from the Sandisk Card on the XDA1 - Pocketstreets hang.
It worked with all other Cards
I'll never by a Sandisk again!!

Suprperry: Just for your info, I live in Australia, and ordered a SD ULTRA II 256MB to use with my XDAII. Got it off an ebay store called aussiememory. I recived it 2 days ago, and have had not a single problem. In terms of the faster speeds, I did a quick benchmark with Pocket Mechanic (I just put it on, havent fiddled enough yet), and I was only getting something like 1.4MB/s, or something like that, for read. Like I said, I havent mucked around with the program, and Im sure there is 1 specific test to accurately test the speeds. When I find out properly, I will post.
Also, this pocket mechanic is a great tool for the XDAII. You can select any type of format, memory scan and repair, defragment, etc, all while your card is in the device. I used it on the ULTRAII in the XDAII, and you just have to have it on permanent power while you use any tests in pocket mechanic.

Thanks for the info m8! And thanks for the tip on pocket mechanic, really appriciate your effort!
THANKS guys for all the input/comments on this particular card, really appriciate it!
Sandisk seem to be slower in comparison and it seems also that either their quality control is sloppy or lots of rejects are being recycled on the market by dealers, it reminds me of a guy selling Intel cpu chips cheap, turned out they were all from the reject skip, gave Intel a bad name around here but it wasnt their fault really.
SD Memory Card - Problems - Data Loss
I'm using the SD card on a PDA (XDA 2). After having successfully copied several mp3 files and also loads of pictures on to the card, the next day, they just disappeared. I this I noticed loss after I installed an applic like BatteryPack. The files I copied onto the card used up quite a lot of space on the card and there was just 50MB remaining. The card is still showing 50MG remaining, but there is no sign of the MP3s or the pictures I copied onto it.
Can anyone help me? May be the card is faulty. Is there a way of formatting the card so that at least I can reclaim the 256MB of memory? I'm using ActiveSync to access the card on my PC. I can see it in explorer but cannot format as option to format is not there.
I am worried about it's (SD Card's) realibility now. If I use it for storing new pictures or other important files and loose them like I just have, that would be very annoying.
Thanks in advance - Ustad

Hi there!
I am avaiting my Magician any day and was wondering if there is any recognisable difference in speed between a 1 GB MMC and SD Card?
Please tell me as I planned to buy a MMC version (cheaper).
Regards
<))><
SD is faster!
http://www.geocities.com/romidar/mmcvssd.htm
Thanx a lot for the quick reply but I am not jet canvinced. My concern was more about the practical results. I.e. Does the Magician really read and write faster on SD Cards? Is it a problem to watch a video from a MMC card or to run progis such as Navigation?
Regards
<; )))><
Why go through all this trouble ? SD is faster than MMC and the price is almost the same (if you know where to look that is, we in the netherlands have great sites for that).
Goodluck
Could you recomend a site? Unfortunately I don't speak any dutch.

i just bought on ebay a Sandisk 1GB SD for 60 Euros, try to take a look there :wink:
What the heck. I also bought a 1 GB SD Card through ebay. 54€ is fair i think .
How did you all find such low prices? I only found 74 euro excl. transport costs.
By the way, does the speed of the cards matter much? Is it possible to view a movie without stuttering on a normal (slow) sd-card?
thanks
As to the price: It took me about 5 days constant attention on ebay. But as I have Internet at work I guess it was worth it.
To the speed: I guess you should be fine with a SD Card. Basically I had the same question regarding MMC (see above).
Sandisk 1GD SD Card.
65 Euros.

Hi Guys and Gals
Now, you all need to know, I ain't a clever programmer or tecchie, so I'm probably going to ask a question which will make some of you out there go "duuuh!?!" to me.
Is there a limit to the size of SD I can stick into my M600 Prophet? - It's as I have just parted with about £35 (70 US bucks) for an 8Gb Toshiba SD Chip and the thing isn't being recognised.
HELP!
The intention is to put a shed load of my MP3 tunes on it.
All relevant (not insulting comments please) will be welcome.
As a postScript, i spoke to the bloke who sold me the SD - he reckons it is because it is a SDHC card, and Prophet will only support SD cards up to 2Gb. However, I'm sure I saw a member running a Prophet on 4Gb?
What does one do to make the baby compatible? - Please advise!!
Cheers
Andy.
there are 4gb "non-sdhc" cards
sdhc cards won't work with prophet
i have a 4 gb sd NCP card below is screen shot
also to my knowledge 8gb till now only exists with sdhc which will not work on prophet unless the company making it realises this issue and makes them simple sd
Hi, guys
This is a great forum, and I learnd a lot of stuff on this site. Thanks for all your hard work.
I'm a new user of windows mobile and I'm currently with an o2 orbit 2. I have 3 1G cards separately stored applications & co-pilot, music and movies. The question is how i can switch between different storage cards without harming my device. Do i have to switch the device off to change the card, are there any implications for doing that? Cheers.

The Cruise/Polaris's storage card is supposed to be hot-swappable, per HTC the manufacturer. With the price of storage cards going down every day, have you considered buying an 8gb card? I bought one for about $70 with my new Cruise, and now I see them on ebay for $55-60. Good luck...
You can "hot-swap" the µSD card of the o2 Orbit2 (I do ), and, of course, also of the TC.
I bought a 8GB Class 4(!) µSDHC card on ebay.de for 39,95€ (+postal charges)
EDIT: Here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130194411701
thank you for your reply.
I'll use hot-swap for now. And buy a 8G card in a few days.
anything I should be aware of when buying the 8G card?

Personally, I prefer SanDISK brand...
If anyone's interested, I saw an online article somewhere, that stated that sandisk and toshiba both had 16gb microsd cards starting up production, and toshiba actually had found a way to cram 32gb on a card, but sandisk was still working on it. bet we'll all have 32gb cards by next Christmas... Man, back in the early 80's when I had my Atari 800XL, if you'd have told me I'd have 32gb on a portable phone, I'd have laughed at you... heheheee
Seriously. I remember I had a 20 MB hard drive on a 8088/86 computer. That thing was huge and weighed a ton. Now we can have 32 GB on something smaller than my fingernail.
Yeah I have an 8 GB card from amazon for about $60 if i recall correctly. They're definitely worth it.
if you want to use your sd card as some kind of "ram-extender" you may try to get a fast one.
I eg install all programs on my card to have as much ram free as possible, there for I bought the fastest I found.
aleph305, do you notice any difference in speed - can the Polaris take advantage of a faster card? (Perhaps there is a maxspeed)
first : sry 4 the delay.
..
and now. number three, the larch ...
no ... ehm
I guess so.
on a magician I installed pocketplus on the card (noname 2gb @ approx. 12r/5-9w mb/s) and the today screen becomes unusable.
then bought a panasonic 2gb 150X (approx 20-22r/14-18w mb/s) and pocket plus runs like it where at the ram.
Therefore I can confirm that the magician will and Im pretty sure every device will when you use the card as "ram".
ps
- you have never enough ram
- your ram is never fast enough
What is your opinion in this?
Is 16GB enough? Or is it wiser to get the 32GB model?
I got a 16GB and am happy with it. I won't keep that much media on it anyway, and if I want more space, I have the microSD card slot. The difference between 16 and 32GB is $100, but you could get the 16GB and a 32GB MicroSD card for less than $500.
Oh, and with the keyboard dock, I can get SDHC cards for even cheaper. I already have a 16GB MicroSD in it... If I should want more space, I'll just get a 16 or 32GB SDHC card.
FYI, you cannot install or move apps to the microsd/SD without rooting (yet). Even then, you'd be hard pressed to fill up the 16GB with apps. Let's say an app avgs 10MB, that means you can have 1600 apps. You've got other issues if you have 1600+ apps installed.
For larger apps, the data portion can be installed on the external media. I have World Series of Poker which installs about 10MB to the internal memory and 380MB to the external when launched.
In short, I think 16GB is fine. Just make sure the music/videos/pics stay on the external media.
16gb is more than enough with the microsd slot on the tablet...if you need extra storage, the two usb ports on the docking station can help...you can even use external hard drives like western digital passport..
by no mean I'm saying the 32gb is bad..I just think it's hard to justify the $100 premium
Ah, ok - thanks guys.
Personally, I'm going for the 32GB model. I plan to have a lot of movies/TV on my TF, and though I can fit a fair bit with a 32GB microSD and a 64GB SD card, I'd still like to have as much storage from the get-go as I can.
