SANDISK SDSDH-256-901 Ultra II SD Memory Storage Card

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)

DON'T USE SCANDISK SD CARD, MANY MANY PROBLEM
USE PANASONIC 256 SD CARD, THE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN SCANDISK, THIS 256 SD CARD IS FASTER THAN SCANDISK

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

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

2GB Sandisk MicroSD Card - AVAILABLE !!!

Hello,
as I recently saw an offer on Ebay (without any mention of the brand), while Sandisk's homepage does not even mention a word (and also very little mention trying Google) I wrote a mail to Sandisk asking them about the expected availabiliy of this item.
That's what I received as a reply:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.
[...]
The MicroSD 2GB is a newer product and you will find it hard to source one, but it is currectly out in the market.
Should you need to speak to a live representative please contact SanDisk Technical Support at one of the listed contact numbers.
Best Regards,
Moira N.

So this is the confirmation that this article is already available though a bit hard to get hold of.
I asked one of my local dealers, who is specialized on Storage Cards and he already accepts pre-orders with an expected availability "in 3 weeks". Price is approximately "double as the current price for a 1GB MicroSD".
Please note: I am not speaking of MiniSD, but MicroSD, the storage cards e.g. needed for a HTC TyTN or HTC Meteor.
They are as small as the nail of my small finger and look extremely fragile.
BTW: Item Code of this product is SDSDQ-2048-E10M (for the Sandisk product) in case anyone tries to ask his local dealer for it.

You can get 2gig Sandisks from here ( http://www.mymemory.co.uk/TransFlash ) for £49.99... I think you have to pay about £3 postage, apart from that I've ordered fro these guys before so if you're in UK check it out.

I'm waiting on 8GB full size SD Card.

This would also need appropriate devices being able to deal with this memory size !
As far as I heard - anybody appreciated to correct me in case I'm wrong - the original SD Card standard is limited to 2GB.
An extension of the standard has already been passed but requiring modified hardware requirements (card reader ?).
I have had one of the first samples of a 4GB SD Card (full side) from Transcend.
I have been (and am still) using it with my digital camera (Casio Exilim S-600). This camera is quite new. It can cope with the card but it takes a few seconds when switching on the cam for the card being recognized / validated.
(With an SD Card up to 2GB the camera is ready almost instantly after switching it on.)
Having access to such a huge image repository is cool, but it's a bit diminished by the fact that the camera takes "soooo long" to be ready with it after switching it on. (I like shooting snapshots.)
However with other cameras I might have not been lucky at all !
Read postings that many devices can't recognize that card at all.
I haven't yet tested it with my Qtek 9000.

question about switching storage card

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

[Q] 32GB Class4 Micro Kingston SDHC problem

Hi guys,
I have recently purchased 32gb kingston's class 4 micro sdhc card and encountered a problem with it. Basically the problem is that when I put more than 1.8gb of music on the card everything above that just doesnt get recognised. It is shown in the music player but when you click to play it says "file format is not supported". Another example is if I have 1.8gb of music and try to put a video on the card it says that "format is not supported" aswel. The strangest thing is that it plays music for few seconds then it crashes. At first I thought that it could be a fake memory card but I used h2testw to check the capacity of the memory card and it worked without any issues.
Some screenshots:

I would really appreciate if somebody could help me

Did you let h2testw completely finish? Because it will write all 32GB of data but reading the data is when it finds the problem.

I actually havent I did it up to 12gb gunna let it do it now for whole 32gb. I still think that it is the phone issue. Still ill let it run through out and post the results

You have to let it finish, it'll try and write 32GB since the card is programmed to show 32GB. But really all it's doing is overwriting existing data (if it's fake). So when h2testw starts to read the data, that is when it'll find if your card is real. It'll tell you how much your card can really hold.

If bought from eBay there is a high possibility that it is a fake, unfortunately.

Thanks yvrRome I did let it finnish and it turns out it is fake... it only wrote 1.8gb and the rest was corrupted, this means its fake. This actually good news because this means that its not my phones fault. And Nivki I did bought this from ebay and to make it worse its second time ive been scammed on ebay purchasing 32gb micro sd in a row lesson for me purchase things like these from retail shops

It could also be just a bad card. I would still recommend buying from a retail shop, though.
Newegg now has the Kingston class 4 32gb MicroSD cards for just over $100.

Ebay + Kingston + 32GB + Honk Konk + China
1/10 its a fake .
jje

only buy from reputable store sources
never buy SD cards from ebay 99.99999999999999999999% they are fake

In the whole city of melbourne, there is nothing over 8gb class 2 card. What a sad place where i live...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I bought from ebay 16gb card,had a similar problem.all files above 1gb were non supported format. I bought a sd reader and connected it to a pc,using usb... same problem,I.e. card is defected.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I received a card today that was bought from eBay, i figured if i bought a brand named card(Kingston) that the chance of it being counterfeit was lower. I began to sync my samsung Vibrant with Double Twist and only about 20% of the songs were transferred.
I tried re-formatting the memory card in Windows 7 and the capacity is somehow reset to only 2GB...THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I've seen this happen. After that i try inserting the card into my phone and it' shows space unavailable... 2 PCs won't read it either.
Something this unreliable has to be fake. I recommend running a test with H2testw 1.4 to tell you if it's genuine or not.
Also, Kingston can actually verify your card for you. Maybe useful if you want to ask the sellers for info on the back of the sd card package first before buying! Good Luck
****KINGSTON MEMORY VERIFIER****
BTW- are 32gb cards just really unreliable should I go with 16GB ? I have a vibrant running ginger clone.

thanks for the link http://www.kingston.com/asia/verifyflash/
very handy for future purchases.... but it'll eventually be cracked by the counterfeiters people in time and generate fake "real" keys that passes the test

i think u own a fake card

Most of the memory cards bought from eBay are fake, unfortunately. I've came across a lot of victims as I work in a Kingston service centre.
I feel sorry for TS

Ebay = need to reasearch seller a little
I have bought quite a few memory cards and usb flash drives from ebay and I have never had an issue however, I do a little 'reasearch' before I click on buy.
I always look at ALL of the seller's negative and neutral feedback. This gives you a really good idea if they are selling legitimate ones. Also look at how much crap they sell, if they have only sold a few items sold I would go some where else.
I usually single out a few 'sellers' that sell a LOT of brand name memory cards. I also list items from the most expensive first to the cheapest, usually all the dodgy stuff ends up way back at the end. Being from australia I also filter it out so that i only see items that are goign to be shipped from Australia (double check feedback to see if theres any indication items are shipped from china/hong kong)
Just like kingston, I beleive sandisk also have something on their website to confirm if you bought a legitimate card.

i bought A DATA 32GB Class 4 from Amazon USA and it's good , but i recommend class 10

Patriot to release Class 10 32GB microSDHC cards!

Wonder how much it'll cost...probably not something I can afford right now, but hopefully the 32GB sandisk card I ordered during black friday gets out of backorder so I don't have to consider buying this now

just in time for the Nexus line to lose its microSD slot.

Never mind it was SD not micro.

hmm... ive been contemplating a larger card for my N1... looks like some more options are coming my way...

Patriot cards will now fail at record speed!

Best 32GB Micro SD Card for Nexus One
If you are looking for a good, high capacity, micro sd card for your Nexus One, you need to get the SanDisk 32GB microSDHC (cat. #B003WGJYCY). I bought mine in Amazon for $81.44, and right now is $104.95. Although is a class 2 card, I am getting speeds of 6MB for writing and 8MB for reading, with no lag at all when playing music, movies or using the picture gallery. I highly suggest that you keep your eyes open for this card, so you can buy it when it comes on sale.

I got in on a sale from sandisk where it was $56.99

Same card as the VZW TADP-32GBG?
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12214

I recommend the Kingston 16GB Class 10 is very fast, I use it without problems in my N1
although now I want the patriot

lexar has released a class 10 32gb

Good find!
I find myself upgrading my microSD too often. First, I had a 4gb class 4, then a 4gb class 6, then 8gb class 6, now a 16gb class 6 32gb class 10 sounds pretty juicy though!!

It's available for around $110 on Amazon or $149.99 straight from Lexar but it appears to be out of stock atm.

Bummer
I got one of these Patriot 32GB Class 10's and it didn't work very well for me.
Droid 2 Global - Rooted - Stock ROM
Initially I found, even if plugged directly into my computer the transfer speeds were less than ideal, getting 5.5-8MB/s at best. If the SD was in the phone and I was transferring my 4MB worth of important data (rest could be transferred later) and the transfer would fail. Get i/o errors, further investigation showed that the mount to the computer was lost, but still appeared to be mounted on the phone.
I got my data on there by direct connecting the card to my computer using a USB adapter I had on hand.
When the card is in the phone it works fine for a while, until of course you try to access something on the card. Install an apk from there, access music, run Titatinum, whatever. The task misbehaves; the progress bar will be running and you can press home and do whatever, but if you let the screen go to sleep you cant get it to wake up. If you don't let the screen go to sleep the task seems to hang indefinitely.
I tried a few things, FAT32 used to have a partition limit of 32GB, and this card showed up as a 33GB filesystem. I tried shrinking the filesystem a bit (30GB) to see if that was the issue, but no luck there. I tried doing a format using the phone, maybe they had something they do there. No go.
My instincts told me not to go with Patriot, I should have listened to them. I am willing to try suggestions if anyone has to get this going, but in the meantime I am just going to stick with my 16c2 by Kingston.

Maybe I should have consulted compatibility first?
http://www.patriotmemory.com/support/flashSupportp.jsp
I notice there are a lot of HTC phones on the compatibility list, but not much in the way of Moto support.
Owell, will sell it to a coworker who has a myTouch 3G

Whoever has this card do extended IOPs data test on it please ATM I am compiling data on Kingston 32GB Class 4 microSDHC. I know this card will never get to use C10 nativly in device as I do have my doubts about data integrity due to data corruption, lets see some actual data in device use without card reader.

Dropped Kingston for Patriot
lol nice and here I am once again getting away with another OJ style crime I hope no one works at Kingston here lol. At least I extracted valuable data which Ill post shortly so other folks can decide which to buy.
Email to Kingston said:
Dear Tech Support,
Product Number: SDC4/32GB-2ADP
Problem: This part has never worked. Well, a lot of users are having issue with Kingston 32GB microSDHC Class 4 cards as it seems its inferior, it took me 27min to transfer just 198MB. Where the same task is done on SanDisk 16GB Class 2 in under 2min. So why is Kingston producing piece of **** card and selling them for 100+? Alot of users in various forum can verify that this is piece of ****. This is bad batch so ill deal with Kingston for RMA directly.
Troublshooting done: Seems the speed is improved when the item is directly allocated in memory thus saving time from accessing it and transferring it. I am not sure if the device is using SD 2.0 but other people with SanDisk 32GB Class 2 is outrunning this Class 4 card. We are only getting like 700KB/s which is no where near class 4 standard.

I call that owned for making me thoroughly testing the card
The data below is the actual IOPs from System (USB: Standard-A) to Device (USB: Micro-B) via USB (USB 2.0/SD 2.0). I am not using any type of card reader for this test as we only want the actual data rate of the card itself natively while its mounted in the device.

lol I am glad I socialed them in to accepting it I had this card for few months and only reason I kept it was due to higher read still was better than SanDisk's read speed which was sustained around 7-8MB/s. Hopefully the plan don't backfire as I already placed order with NewEgg and still have to ship it back to Kingston. So in the end saved $60 or so and got class 10 card with 1gb extra space.

I got one of these Patriot 32GB Class 10's and it didn't work very well for me.
Droid 2 Global - Rooted - Stock ROM
Initially I found, even if plugged directly into my computer the transfer speeds were less than ideal, getting 5.5-8MB/s at best. If the SD was in the phone and I was transferring my 4MB worth of important data (rest could be transferred later) and the transfer would fail. Get i/o errors, further investigation showed that the mount to the computer was lost, but still appeared to be mounted on the phone.
I got my data on there by direct connecting the card to my computer using a USB adapter I had on hand.
When the card is in the phone it works fine for a while, until of course you try to access something on the card. Install an apk from there, access music, run Titatinum, whatever. The task misbehaves; the progress bar will be running and you can press home and do whatever, but if you let the screen go to sleep you cant get it to wake up. If you don't let the screen go to sleep the task seems to hang indefinitely.
I tried a few things, FAT32 used to have a partition limit of 32GB, and this card showed up as a 33GB filesystem. I tried shrinking the filesystem a bit (30GB) to see if that was the issue, but no luck there. I tried doing a format using the phone, maybe they had something they do there. No go.
My instincts told me not to go with Patriot, I should have listened to them. I am willing to try suggestions if anyone has to get this going, but in the meantime I am just going to stick with my 16c2 by Kingston.

I wish I had read this before ordering my Patriot 32GB from Newegg. I am having the exact same issues as you sound like you had.
Telus HTC Desire - Rooted - LeeDroid 2.3d
When the screen sleeps, I can't always get it to wake up and am constantly restarting the phone. I was worried it was an issue with LeeDroid, and am currently troubleshooting my phone, but it sounds like once I re-insert my 8gb card I'll be fine. Thanks for the post. Amazed that they can build a card with limited compatibility as such but I suppose that's why it's cheaper. If I figure out otherwise, i'll post again.

Not compatible with Samsung Epic 4G
My wife and I purchased two of these for our Samsung Epic 4G phones, and unfortunately this card does not seem compatible with our phones. It will format and initially seem to read the card, however after a short while both phones gave a damaged SD card error and the cards needed to be reformatted. After the second reformat, we tried to give them another go, unfortunately files just continue to be corrupted. Very disappointed.

I had the exact same issue with the Patriot 16GB Class 10. Perfect on the computer using every test imaginable - but as soon as my Nexus One tries to use it corruption occurs.
Back to SanDisk, I guess.
