 Fast on read, slow on write October 7, 2004

I returned this one the day I got it from Amazon. It was fairly fast when reading from the card, but writing was very slow. Although my Palm T3 showed the card to be from unknown manufacture, its performance numbers suggested it was likely made by Toshiba (Lexar resells other people's products). While Toshiba SDs are reliable, they are known to be slow on write. And that was exactly what I saw. If you use the card mainly for MP3 or carrying Palm/PPC data, go for it. If you need to frequently write to the card (such as doing Palm/PPC backups, or using in a digital camera), go get one made by SanDisk (faster) or Panasonic (fastest, but very expensive), or specially marked high speed SDs.
 Hoped for a bargain, got a dud November 19, 2004

I had high hopes for this bargain-priced 1GB SD card, which I purchased to use w/ my flash-based MP3 player. Unfortunately, the card doesn't work properly. Once I write the music files to the card (a VERY slow process, taking about 10 minutes to write the entire card, given the turtle-like write speeds), my player doesn't see about half of the tracks/albums. I've tried emptying and rewriting the card multiple times, as well pulling all of the tracks out of their album directories and writing them to a single, top-level directory, all for naught. I can't discern any rhyme or reason as to what it recognizes and what it doesn't, which changes each time I rewrite the files. I also have twice run into mysterious errors ("Cannot create file or directory") while trying to write to the empty card. I'm stymied, and will be returning the card.
 Fast enough for my SD300's VGA 30fps video mode December 16, 2004

One of my reason for getting a Canon SD300 digicam is its great video capability - it's capable of shooting 640x480 at 30 fps until the memory card is full. Prior to this card, I had 4 Sandisk 256MB SD cards, and 3 of which have problem in this video mode (blinking red "!" mark with skipping frames).
I was concerned about this card's speed performance after reading some of the reviews, but now I'm glad to say that it works well on my SD300. It is able to handle 640x480x30fps with no dropped frames on my camera. I've shot up to 3 minutes, creating a 350MB+ AVI file, with no problem. And it's very inexpensive to boot. I didn't need the 32x cards which costs about 30% more.
With that said, you should note that I have the new Canon SD300, which was released only a month ago and is a fast camera in general. Your mileage may vary based on the camera you have and its speed when streaming video from internal buffer to memory card.
Terrible quality. Doesn't work in all SD devices January 15, 2005

Lexar cards don't work in Panasonic SD Audio devices. I couldn't understand why it wouldn't work since SD is supposed to be pretty standard. I called Panasonic and they said that Lexar and Kodak cards are so low in quality and slow to write that they won't work with the the SD Audio format.
No problems using other brands like Sandisk, Panasonic, Kingmax, etc.
Never work properly August 19, 2005

I bought this SD card on April 11. Unfortunately, the card doesn't work properly, in fact, my camera and my computer never detect it.
Also, I recived a different card, it didn't like the picture on this page. I think I was swindled.
Well, I had to buy another SD card.
