SURVEY: working SD cards


Recommended Posts

Hi

Just found this forum after having problems with a new card. And guess which one? Yup, a Viking. A 256MB. Someone mentioned serial numbers, well these are A03198126 and SD-M256B1 and 0416TJ3326H. It was made in Japan. It seems to work for a minute, then the phone stops recognising the card until you remove and re-insert it. :lol:

My previous card, a Fujifilm 128MB has worked faultlessly for months. Serial no. AK0312QN. Made in China. :)

I purchased the Viking card from Ebuyer, their price was excellent, ordering and delivery faultless. Just hope their returns policy is as good, as I want to change it for a Lexar or Sandisk one. :?

P.S. I have an Orange SPV e200

The winds shift fast... I just got a answer from Sandisk support.. with good news..

------------------

Hello,

Thank you for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.

Both the Ultra II and Extreme SD cards are single cell.

The standard SD card could be either single or multi cell.

---------------

Ultra II or Extreme SD is the way to go then.. and buying a Standard SD is simply taking a spin with russian roulette......

well, my Dane-elec one works (its super-cheap), never worked originally, used to cockup when i tried to write on it, but after the rom update (odd) it all started working fine :)

*Desperately wishes he had seen this thread before ordering...*

Have received my new Viking/Toshiba 256MB card. Wrote for a second then gave up. Doesn't work at all now, though it does recognise the size of the card on windows media. Doesn't even bloody fit, got it stuck at one point and couldn't get it out!!! Bag of s***e!! Will now have to mess about returning it!

Have still got a (rather expensive a year ago mind) Fuji 32Mb card that works like a dream. Sigh... :cry:

I've got a 256MB Sandisk and it works brilliantly. Cost me £41 from the USA inc. delivery in 2 working days. Excellent card, excellent service, excellent price - what more can I say?

SanDisk Ultra II 256MB working fine here :P

Got it off ebay as shops in the UK sell it for very expensive as it's the fastest SD card around! 8)

Someone else here found this thread too late.

Kingston SD 512 won't write.

Now to test out Dabs.com's returns policy.

i use a non-branded 256MB card from a local PC outlet called Novatech. cost less than 30quid and works a treat! i get the occasional cant find spinny thang but a swift on/off sorts that... will be updating the ROM this weekend and will post again if there's any drama...

on E200

Viking (Toshiba) 512 MB OK

Kodak 256 MB (three of these) OK

Kingston SD 256MB with my 'delicate' Xphone. so far so good..... sometimes the windows pocket media player went into some sort of looping/buffering (as displayed, sounded like it's having a bad case of hick-up) when playing windows media files for a long while (20 min or more), but after taking out the SD and insert again, it ok now, so far....

Tried a 256Mb 'Peak' SD card the other day in my local PC shop. In the time the assistant let me test it in my E200 I was able to write a text file to it via Smart Explorer as well as a 2Mb MP3 which played back just fine off the card.

They do a 256Mb for £26 and a 512Mb for £49. They supposedly do a 'Next Day Business Post' service too.

I didn't try the 512Mb so will leave it up to you to decide whether or not it'll be the same as the 256Mb.

website is Priceless Computing, Glasgow

The card manufacturer's own website can be found here - it gives all sorts of specs that I don't understand. Maybe someone else will.

They've now dropped the price to £26 for the 256Mb card and to £44 for the 512Mb card. My mate tested and bought the 512Mb. Reads and Writes about twice if not 3x faster than my old 128Mb MMC

The card make is A2 Data, i think. Whatever it's called - it works just fine.

Hope this helps.

Viking 512MB SD-Card: DOES NOT WORK :)

Contacted Viking who said it was a Multi-Cell card and was hence not compatible with the e200.

Dane-Elec SD-Card 256MB Didn't work, couldn't write on card (But were using an old ROM)

PQI MMC-card 256MB Works great both then and now.

I bought a Kingston 256MB which initially I could not write to; Kingston confirmed it was multi cell. Sent E200 to HTC to get joystick repaired and mentioned SD problem too. Phone returned today and now the card works fine. Not sure exactly what HTC did; repair description just said 'Replace SW/B'. Does this mean some of these probs can be solved simply by HTC. Phone was still under warranty so no charge.
