 Excellent speed and durability November 27, 2005

As a response to "mom2sarah..." who recommends 2 cards of 512 MB rather than this 1 GB, I have some things to point out
1. It is true that write (and read) a large number of small files to (and from) a 1 GB card is a little bit slower than a 512 MB. However, this card is mostly used in digital camera and today moderate cameras have image resolution of at least 4 megapixels which means around 1 MB per file. And 1 MB is big enough to reduce the difference of transfer speed. For those who use relatively new camera, this difference is hardly noticeable.
2. Occasionally you would want to record some video from your digital camera and of course you don't want your movie to be interupted because of memory limited. In my Canon S2 IS, a super fine video of 620x480, 30fps uses the whole 1GB card just for about 8 minutes. So, using 512MB is even worse.
3. Around the internet, this card is said to be pretty durable, there is no major corruption issue with it. Hence, there is no risk to buy.
4. I have used a lot of SD cards before and this is the fastest among those. I was impressed. The first time I bought this card, I took around 300 pictures (around 400 MB), when I transferred them to my computer, I suspected it would take at least 3 minutes like my other SD cards. But no, it took only a minute flat.
5. In my Canon S2 IS, the actually usable memory is 968MB. The fact is ALL memory storage devices always have a little bit less storage space than indicated by the manufacturer.
I tried to find some cons about this card because they will make the review to be fair. But I must say that I can't find anything to complain about this card.
 Better to get Two 512 MB Sandisk Ultra Cards...Here's Why July 13, 2005

This is in response to the first reviewer's valid observation/comment, notably that "This card seems to have a good transfer rate when copying a small number of large files. However, it still crawls when compared to my panasonic 256MB SD card that is much older when copying a large number of small files." The reason for this is that the bigger the card, the longer the recycling time between shots or uploading or downloading files. The best explanation I heard is that info processing in memory cards is similar to it running around a track - the bigger the card, the longer it takes to get around the track. That's why I ALWYAS recommend people who insist on having 1 Gig memory to buy TWO separate 512 MB cards! Also, in the slim chance your card gets corrupted, you won't lose ALL of your precious photos. Btw, I have owned the ULTRA II versions of their Compact Flash Card, Secure Digital Card, and Memory Stick and have never had any problems. But it's always advisable to be "safe than sorry". Finally, unless it's an older camera, your camera will most likely benefit from the increased speed these cards allow. Therefore, I wholeheartedly believe they are worth the extra cost. I do NOT recommend the regular Sandisk cards however - they are Overpriced and SLOW.
Nice, but not 60X June 30, 2005

My speed tests show that this is not 60X (9MB/s) but more like 40X (6MB/s). However, it is plenty fast for my new digital camera.

I have over a dozen SanDisk CF/SD cards of varying sizes. They are the most reliable SD cards I have used.
Recently I bought 2 1GB SanDisk cards from "1OnlyNewStuff" in the Amazon marketplace. When I got them I tried them out immediately and they read/wrote OK.
However, when putting one back in the camera something just did not look quite right about it. Comparing my two new "SanDisk" cards to any of my old ones showed that the new cards had no serial numbers, had slightly different physical profiles, and sort of blotchy printing.
Checking on the internet I found that SanDisk counterfeits have long been known on E-Bay. Now they have been brought to Amazon. There is a page at [...] which shows some of the characteristics of the fake cards.
I checked with SanDisk, provided them with photos of the two new disks and SanDisk confirms them as fakes.
The SanDisk pictured on this Amazon Page is real (note the notch on the bottom of the media - lacking on most fakes). Likely media ordered directly from Amazon is going to be OK.
However if you are tempted, as was I, by the lower price from some Amazon merchants when you get the cards inspect them to see if they are real or counterfeit.
SanDisk very promptly will help you with this. For example, if the media has a serial number SanDisk can confirm if it is valid. If it has NO SERIAL NUMBER, then don't bother SanDisk - because ALL actual SanDisks have serial numbers (and a lifetime guarantee)
 Left me in Yellowstone with a non-functional camera -- bring a backup card! August 31, 2005

To make a very long story short, this SD card failed on me in my Canon SD 400 just before entering Yellowstone NP (I've never been before) on a perfect morning in late July '05. I had to purchase a disposable camera in the park and then buy a replacement Lexar SD card at a Walmart. The Lexar works perfectly, several hundred pictures later.
To make another long story short, their online tech support is poor as well. They sidestep issues and give canned responses. While trying to convince them that the card is dead and that I need an RMA, I received the same canned e-mail answer twice. They kept recommending a 3rd party product to recover the data, but my laptop doesn't see the SD card (it's dead!!!). Sandisk will not recover the pictures for you. They offered two other 3rd parties that could do recovery -- one is $125 for a "chance" or $395 for a guarantee. Forget it!!
After two cases and several e-mails, I finally have been "approved" for an RMA.
I have learned my lesson. I will never leave home without my Lexar card again.
