Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC Memory Card
Customer Review: Works with Sansa e280 running Rockbox
Summary: 5 Stars
The stock firmware provided by SanDisk does not support SDHC cards, so you must run Rockbox to use this card. I have an e280 (non-rhapsody), and this card worked immediately with no hassles under a recent Rockbox build. The card comes formatted in FAT32, I copied over some music using the card reader, plugged it into the Sansa, started it up under Rockbox, and was immediately playing music from the card.
The card reader is tiny - just twice the size of a USB plug. It works well in Linux, and copying music to the card using the reader seemed faster than copying music to the Sansa's internal memory. My one complaint is that it's hard to remove the card from the reader - I ended up using a pencil eraser, which helped grip the card without causing damage. This may not be a problem at all if you are careful not to insert the card too firmly.
I am very happy with this card - it has doubled the capacity on my Sansa, and I can still swap in my old 2GB SD card. The package also includes a plastic microSD case, which is perfect for carrying an extra SD card safely.
Customer Review: Great Little Card and Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
I had no idea how really tiny these little "micro" SD cards are. I bought two of them for a pair of Blackberry Curve's that my partner and I use. The addition of 8GB adds tremendous capability to our devices and was worth every penny.
The MicroSD card reader is equally as tiny. Don't be fooled by the pictures, these are two very small items. The reader comes with a leash which makes it easy to retrieve. The reader and card seem fragile to me (but I suppose any memory card of this tiny size would) but they work like a charm. Installation on our Blackberry Curve's went without a hitch and usage of the MicroSD Reader has gone well too.
For the money, you can't beat it. Sandisk is a great brand name, that's one of the main reasons I chose this card over others. The final decision came though when I saw that it included the reader as well.
I would highly recommend this memory card if you have a device that supports it. Marvelous!
Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product with a very good price! I will definitely be purchasing more. I am an engineer - computer geek, I have tested two of these. They are fast reliable compact. I am a very critical person if you ask me to find something to complain about it would be the following. I can not complain about the memory card. The design of the card reader requires that you align the card perfectly before you insert it. This is only because the card reader is the size of the tip or you pinkeye finger. The only other thing is it gets pretty warm when you copy large amounts of information. It does not get hot enough that I would worry about it.
On last thing, for those of you that have a Windows Mobile 6.X device it is my understanding that any version 6.0 or greater will support cards greater than 2gigs. I have a Cingular (AT&T) 8525 that only supported the 2gig card before the update to 6.x.
Enjoy!
Customer Review: Works in BlackJack II
Summary: 5 Stars
Card popped right into my BlackJack II and has worked great, no reformatting needed. I haven't tried the pc adapter as I have an older SD style fitting MicroSD adapter I prefer. Do be weary as many phones don't support the HD models of these memory cards like this one. I popped the memory into my Mother's Samsung phone (not a BlackJack II) and it wanted to reformat the card down to 2 gig. I've only had the card a month now. It is working great so far. I've managed to install several programs on it and am not even close to utilizing it's full capacity. Loading programs off of it seems snappy. I usually prefer not to order items not directly shipped from Amazon, but in this case the order shipped as fast as ever.Customer Review: Why??
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered the 8GB MicroSDHC for my LG Vu phone because Amazon showed it in my recommendations list. Come to find out after I received it and installed it in my phone, the 8GB card doesn't work in my phone. When I contacted the seller (Digital Media Outlet), they just told me it was Amazon's fault and to return the card (less shipping and handling of course!!). My advice would to be very careful when buying these types of items online because it seems that most of these third party companies who sell on Amazon are just looking to make a buck. I trusted Amazon and got burned. In short, don't recommend a product that doesn't work!!!
