 Great card, reliable too February 27, 2008

I've bought some of these cards for my various Canon P&S cameras, and gifted some too. Never had a data problem, ever. I've always bought them from Amazon.com (with amazon.com as the seller, not a third party).
I use one of the cards in an underwater housing-enclosed camera. Another in a camera I reserve for rough use when my DSLR might be in jeopardy from rain, snow, etc. They work great for long movies as well as hundreds of photos.
I haven't had a single Kingston SD card fail me yet. I look for Sandisk, but very often Kingston offers more performance for the price and honestly, I'll go for whichever is cheaper at the time. I like inexpensive, but not at the cost of quality. Kingston is a very reliable alternative to Sandisk if the price happens to be better.

Ordered this card to store MP3 files. It would not let copy files total size little more then 1GB, it would error out "I/O error". Both quick and regular format did not help, tried 3 times. Requested replacement, and 2nd card practically had same issue. After copying about a gig of files, it would error out "connection lost". Also tried it couple of times. I formatted card and noticed after formatting it shows only 950mb free on empty card?!
The price IS too good to be true; mine was a lemon July 16, 2007

I bought this with my Canon a570. The camera is fantastic, but the card is another story. It worked fine at first, but a month later, I went to India and now half of my pictures are missing, replaced with a question mark and a message that says 'unidentified image'. Now the card doesn't hold anything, I get a message that says 'memory card error'. I'm going to spend a little more for a more reliable brand this time.

This is not noticably different from other name brand memory cards. It works exactly the same as any other quality card that I've tried; some of them costing 2 or more times as much. I've tried them in my notebook, desktop, camera, LG-Env, LG-Chocolate, and Motorola Razr with no problem. I will definitely be buying more of these soon.
Works with my curve! January 29, 2008

I use SanDisk Extreme IV high speed CompactFlash cards on my Canon DSLR camera and have been happy with their performance. So when shopping for a microSD card I started with SanDisk, a brand I trust. However, I wanted to test the possibility of using my BlackBerry 8310 Curve as my primary mp3 player. Seeing that this microSD card was significantly less expensive than the SanDisk cards, I went with Kingston.
The Kingston 2GB microSD memory card works well with my Curve, however I noticed that the Curve limits the file size transfers. Initially to save music, I needed to remove the card from my Curve and transfer files directly from my computer. This is where the adapter, which converts the microSD card to full-sized SD card, comes in handy. After removing the Curve's battery, I simply popped the microSD card into the adapter and used my computer's SD drive.
Since removing the Curve's battery is annoying, I did some research and found what the issue was with the Curve. There is a setting that may need to be changed to allow music file transfers. Go to "Settings", then "Options" to click on "Media Card." Set "Mass Storage Mode Support" to ON. Additionally set the "Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected" to YES or PROMPT. After changing the settings, I have no problems transferring music from the PC to the Curve or vice versa. If you still cannot transfer files, check the mapped drives on your computer, the first available drive is automatically used for the Curve's memory card. At home this is my F drive while at work it is K. If any other device is mapped to that drive, the Curve's memory card will not be recognized.
PROS:
Good price
Reliable card
CONS:
None
