Digital camera reviews of SanDisk SDSDQY-8192-A11M 8GB Mobile Ultra Micro SDHC Card (Black)
Digital camera Review: Holy Crap this card is FAST!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this micro SDHC card for a Nokia E71 phone. I don't have the phone yet, but I decided to try it as an 'SSD' (solid-state disk) on my Windows XP laptop (Lenovo T61).
Suffice it to say, this is the fastest SDHC card I have ever tested! I've seen other cards that are a bit faster, but I was especially not expecting this tiny thumbnail of a micro-SDHC card to be this fast. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this card if looking for an 8GB micro SDHC card.
Test Setup:
-Tested with provided USB adapter (it's so cute and tiny!)
-Tested with Delkin Expresscard/34 memory card reader (rated at 15MB/sec)... although Expresscard slots have a LOT higher theoretical speed
Speed Results:
* HD Tach (3.0.4), 19-20 MB/sec
* results were the same for USB or Expresscard adapter
In short, I am VERY happy this purchase. There are a few slightly cheaper micro SDHC cards, but this blew me away! I can't wait to see how it works in my phone.
I'm also 'testing' it as a secondary-drive in the laptop, running from the Expresscard/34 adapter. I've loaded some basic apps, to help speed up my boot times a bit (no data/results yet). The only 'primary' app I've loaded to the card is Firefox 3.0.1, and it runs decently fast. I think the internal SATA drive is a bit faster... plus the SATA drive has a buffer, so it can cache data, where the microSDHC card doesn't really do that. But since the memory card has ~1.0-1.6 ms access times, it speeds some random-read performance.
Digital camera Review: IT simply did not work
Summary: 1 Stars
The card did not get detected by either my camera or my G1 phone. I also tried it on Ubuntu installation, Windows XP and Mac OS Leopard installations. None of these could detect the card !! I tried mailing Blueproton and they ask me to send it back - I did that but did not hear from them after that. My mails went unreplied. Horrible Horrible service !! Think twice before buying from them.Digital camera Review: It works
Summary: 4 Stars
The card works as advertised. The card reader is sort of cheap feeling, but it works. The reader is so small I am afraid I will loose it though.Digital camera Review: It's tiny, and it works.
Summary: 4 Stars
Not a lot to say about this device; it just works. I have an 8GB Micro SDHC card I use with a Sansa Fuze, and I purchased this with an additional card so I could test a chip that seemed to not be working. (it was dead.) The chip it came with worked fine, and inserting and removing the chip is straightforward. The thing is tiny, dangling from my keybadge with no perceivable added weight. But it is easy to insert and remove from a USB port.
If you need an SDHC adapter, this one does the job. Coming with an 8GB card is a bonus.
