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.
/Deathrow

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

which 1GB sd-card is the best?

I need a fast 1GB sd-card for my MDA-II.
Which one is the best?

There are quite some "bad" SD cards for sale.
You might want to check www.pocketgps.co.uk
Bottom line: Toshiba, Panasonic & Lexar manufactured SD cards are the best for PocketPC hardware, especially if youre using TomTom.
DO NOT USE Sandisk (not just my experience).
Note that a lot of brands have their cards manufactured by one of the named manufaturers. Kingston SD cards are very likely to come from Toshiba.
Also note that speed is not the most important factor, it's stability that make things work.

Kingmax
I have been using a Kingmax 1G card for a few months now. I have been very happy with it. It was inexpensive and it is fast. The only disadvantage I can think of is that it doesn't have a hardware write-protect. That is because it is waterproof. I don't know about you, but if my Xda II falls in the toilet, the SD card isn't going to be my biggest worry!
Good luck!

Pretec is the worlds fastest and I have one. Works Great! Check out there website for more info.

Do you also use the SD for TomTom Navigator 3, or are you 'just' storing data on it?
Storing & Retrieving is not the isue, its the stressed reading that makes SD cards collapse . . .(until soft-reset) TomTom Navigator 3 is know to be stressfull to SD cards and pushes the less stable ones over the edge.
A good test would include:
Install a TomTom 3 Map & POI on SD
Drive on the motorway at >= 120km/h (to generate enough map-data throughput) in following situations: a. with POI switxched on and b. without POI switched on. If it works, let it recalculate a new route (yes, while driving!) and eventually increase speed.
Please publish the results, especially for Kingmax & Pretec.
FYI: Sandisk failed at both, same with Extrememory (just a bit better). Kingston is OK without POI but fails with POI.

I don't own a GPS that I can connect to my Xda II. I'll be happy to try it if someone wants to give me one. If you know of any software that will perform a stress-test, I can try that for you as well.

I've got a traxdata SD card and most of the time its works fine.
Sometimes when i drive and plot a route in tomtom it freezes up.
Not all of the time.
chears,

I use an Kingmax 1GB sd card and have had no problems whatsoever!!!!!
Will be hopefully using it with TomTom 3 this weekend.
Will let you know when I do.

I've just had to send my Kingmax 1Gb SD Card back as it started exhibiting some "strange" behaviour.
Moving files from the phone memory to the SD Card would basically send the file into oblivion as it would not appear on the SD Card and the original file being deleted!
Tried formatting on the PPC but wouldn't work, tried formatting in my PC but format would fail...
EDIT: TomTom3 worked fine from it. Although every now and again it would take AGES to load in the map when on map view mode. Screen updates were also slow but that may well be down to my 4800bps wired GPS unit

I use a Lexar 1GB with copilot 5 works great have had no issues at all paid $79.00 usd

mm, I would like to know a website that sells Lexar 1GB SD memory for around $80 (and ships them to The Netherlands) . . . .

i-mate jam + 1gb lexar >> works fine, no problem.

Not sure bought mine at FRY'S www.outpost.com is their website.

does the all the 1G lexar sd speed at 32? where can i find one in uk
cheers

So which card is the best? Reading through the messages it appears that for TomTom Navigator it's between Kingmax and Pretec, and possibly Lexar?
Did anyone get some recommendations from Tomtom directly as to which cards work the best with their product?

Not sure bought mine at FRY'S www.outpost.com is their website.

@Argeles: You misunderstood. Best choice for use with TomTom are Lexar, Panasonic or Toshiba manufactured SD cards.
Toshiba is also sold under the Kingston brand.
Check www.pocketgps.co.uk for more info and query on specific brands.

Just wring with a update:
I am using a Kingsmax 1GB card and got my GPS receiver yesterday. Been using it since yesterday with TomTom 3 with no problems whatsoever. Even recalculating route while driving.
I'd recommend the KingsMax card going on my experience. The choice is yours!?!?

well, I heard that there is really no big difference between ordinary 1 gb card and 1gb high-speed card. However you pay almost 30euro more for the high-speed card. Lexar 1gb costs 79 euro and Lexar HS 1gb costs 100 euro.
I bought yesterday in Holland at MyCom shop a 1gb card (Apacer) for 69 euro. It is really fast and has 1 year gurantee!
Test results are super:
Read: 0.70mb/sec (tested with PocketMechanic)
Write: 0.02mb/sec
My old SanDisk 256mb read only 0.10MB/sec

SD 512 CARDS??

I need help finding a replacement SD card for my XDA11 as mine seems to have nothing but problems..
I have replaced them twice now and the same faults come up time and time again ie not allowing me to access them or even format them...
The make is Jessup the camera shop people has any one of you had the same problem could this be a dodgy batch or do I persivere as its quite a cheap card....
any more good makes recommended??
and whats this SAN disk I keep seeing mentioned are they compatible??

I've had probs with Jessops cards in my cameras. I was using a 512MB card made by PNY, or rather by Toshiba (it says Toshiba on the back) and branded with a PNY sticker on the front. I used this in my Magician before switching to mini SD in the Wizard. Excellent card, cost me about 30 quid but its out fo work currently as I am using Mini SD now. If you can find a PNY (toshiba) that should work fine, I've had two now and they are fine.

512 sd cards
Thanks for the swift reply I will take a look in the shops tomorrow.
can I ask what retailer you brought the Toshiba clone cards from ?
regards Lee

I bought it from PC world, they do PNY memory upgrades for PC's as well.
But you can get them cheaper elsewhere, for example, MobyMemory.

i have 1 128MB sandisk it's ok but slow
i have 2 512 kingston elite pro and they rock never had any problems

Jessops 512 Mb sd
I have been using Jessops SD cards in my alpine for about 9 months without any problems untill last week whenthe device melted ( i think ) my 512 card !!!! this is my first experience of the problem . I do have a 256mb jessops card as well and that one is still working .
Not sure how to proceed ?? any suggestuions on the best card to buy ?? and where to get it cheapest ?

[Small Review] SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC (Class 2)

Hey guys,
got my new SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC (Class 2) Card yesterday and it is performing great so far.
But before that, I'd like to warn you that there are tons of fake cards floating around.
I bought a 32GB Card one week ago and it turned out to be fake:
h**p://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6867/unbenannt3kj.jpg
I've tested to write the full capacity to the card but apparently this card only holds up to 1,9GB.
DON'T BUY FROM EBAY OR OTHER "SMALL BUSINESS SHOPS" You'll most likely get a fake card.
Really pissed after this experience I decided to buy from a reliable computer shop and spend more money and received my 32GB Card yesterday, and what can I say? It's better than I expected for a Class 2 card.
Check out the results here:
h**p://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4060/s32gbsdhc.jpg
As you can see, this card is genuine and you can write up to ~30GB to it.
The write speed with 5,21mb/s is pretty good for a Class 2 Card. Also the read speed is quite decent with 14 mb/s
This is more than sufficient for HD video recording and all the other things you'd wanna do with your Galaxy S.
I didn't expierence any lags with my phone using this card. Switching between photos, music etc.... all goes very smoothly.
Here's also a HDTune (3.50) shot for you guys interested in the read iops:
h**p://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1818/s32gbsdhc2.jpg
Verdict: All things considered, I think this card performs fairly well without slowing down my Galaxy S. Watching tons videos/photos, listening to a huge music library and not having to worry about storage is really great.
The only downside of this card is the price (I've paid 108€) but considering the fact that the iPhone with 32GB is bloody expensive and with this card you would have up to 40GB of storage on your Galaxy S, this card is really a bargain and I fully recommend it.

That's great! I'm also considering to buy one the 16gb class4 version, but it seems difficult to find in Europe.

Where did you get your 32GB card?

30424 Mbye = 29.7109375 gb
What happened to the rest of the 2gb?

some space will be taken by the file allocation table when the card is formatted as with all drives from harddrive to memory cards.
also the 32gb is somewhat less than 32gb in true storage size

I've bought it in Germany (ARLT Computer).

talking about memory and disk stuff,
32GB=32.000.000.000 bytes
wich is, 30517,58 MB or 29,80 GB
this is for the simple fact
a 8GB hard disk contains 8.000.000.000 bytes
a 8GB ram stick contains 8*1024*1024*1024=8589934592 bytes

That's a lot of cash considering a non-fake Toshiba Class 2 16gb is currently selling for £17.99 delivered in the UK?
€108 equates to about £90!

32GB cards are currently considerably more expensive than 2 x 16GB cards.
Where's the deal on that 16GB in the UK btw...?

So you can use micro SD HC cards with the galaxy s? I was told that you had to use an adapter because the device only has a micro SD slot? Sorry if this is a silly question, i haven't really dealt with external flash storage that much apart from my old sony ericsson walkman phone which used stick pro duo or something like that.

that is right, currently it is not worth buying the 32GB

Er, that depends. To me having a 32GB card is well worth the extra expense, may not be to others, but its not a black and white issue as you suggest.

I'm also considering on buying one. I'll check out the price here at Singapore's COMEX event tomorrow. Last time I checked it is still SGD168

Yea, it doesn't lag; at least there is nothing what I would describe as "laggy".
It does take some time to load 100s of photos on the gallery app, but I think this is quite normal.
At least if I view a hires picture, it opens up near instantly. Switching between pics and focusing also happens very quickly.
I'm happy with it so far. Having used this card for more than two months I don't have any complaints at all and I fully recommend it.

How is 720p hd recording with the card? Try it and see if the recorded video is stuttering. Ty.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

which microsd card

Going to buy the DHD on monday and i read about troubles with the "slow" class 2 microsd card which comes with the DHD (like 720p recording isnt smooth enough).. should i get a 16gb class 6 sd card? or is class 4 enough? or is even the 8gb class 2 which comes with the DHD fast enough?
Thought about a Transcend 16gb class 6 (but its pretty expensive.. 56€ = ~65$ i think).. so maybe a cheaper (class 4 or class 2) is enough?
thanks

I have had no problems with the card provided. I find it hard to belive htc would supply a sd card that is not capable of using all features of the device. I am sure someone disagrees, your best bet is to stick with the one provided. If you do have any problems with the class 2, you can always try a class 4.

Try eBay, here are 2 good (and free shipping) deals I took. Still waiting on delivery, but you can't really beat the price.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280603123927 <-- 32GB (at least class 4/6) (ebay removed item, possibly fake, awaiting 'shipment', card arrived, working 100%, not fake )
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260710352568 <-- 8GB class 10

If anyone buys a higher class SDCard could you provide a mini review. I'm in the market for a well priced, but balanced with performance SDCard.
Reading manufacturer reviews is pointless, and inexperienced users are the same.
Anyone who can recommend a good/great SDCard will get my thanks, and maybe a thank-you donation.

I will let you know as soon as I get them

Please do, I much prefer a good user review to a standard "It works" review. Many thanks & Merry Xmas

My DHD came with an 8 GB class 4 Sandisk, so don't know if the included card varies, depending on where you buy it? Since you're talking about class 2 and all.
Anyway, I bought a 16 GB class 4 Kingston, the worst piece of crap I've ever had, corrupted data and apps on sd constantly and slow transfer speeds via USB. Don't know if that's just the way that card works with the phone, or if I got one from a bad batch. But anyway, now I'm waiting for a replacement Sandisk 16 GB class 2, hoping it'll do a better job.

if we buy another sd card apart from the stock sd do we need to copy paste some folders which are spesific for some apps or the apps will recreate them in the new sd?

The one included with mine is only a class 2. (cant remember name now, sorry)

Copy the contents of the old sdcard to a folder on your pc. Then copy that to the new sdcard after formatting it. Just did this last night when I put in my new (Xmas pressie!!) 32GB card. I formatted the card first in the phone.
HTH.

It was for me. I actually formatted the card in my old Nokia E71, plugged the E71 into my PC and mounted the card. Then 'copy n pasted' the files over. Seems a weird way to do it but a) my SD to microsd adaptor card is b&ggered so had to use the (a) phone and b) I only have USB2 connectivity on my PC so copying the c. 25GB of music etc I have took several hours. Tying up the old phone was preferable to tying up my current DHD.
One thing though. I'd read that the best way to format an SD card was using 'sdformatter' from http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ .... which sounded like a good plan. However the formatted card couldn't be read on XP Pro SP3 PC. Hence why I formatted it on the Nokia. That worked a treat.

I got this one ... http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC/MyMemory/MyMemory-32GB-Micro-SD-(SDHC)-Card---Class-4 .... Not noticed any speed improvements, though probably as I haven't used it much yet. To be honest the reason I got it was mainly to hold all my music so getting rid of an MP3 player. Any sd card is fast enough for that. I haven't checked out the exact feeds and speeds but I'm suspecting that any card is also fast enough for video/still shots as I haven't noticed any problem yet!

I got the 8GB class 10 one (around $20 inc shipping, got here in less than 2 weeks), quick test show read speed to be 17.4MB/sec (looking for a decent app to measure write speed, preferably non destructive unlike the way HD Speed does)
As for the 32GB one. Think it was a scam, ebay removed page. Gonna wait a little, as it did have a shipping number before all the details disappeared, if it does not arrive, I will contest the $14 I paid for it.
Update: The 32GB one, not a scam, just arrived. Sandisk 32GB class 4, tested, all working What a bargain!
