SD Card recommendation's

Zaphan58 · 24 May 2007 at 00:04

Looking for a 2Gb SD Card what's a good brand to get? I see Kingston are pretty cheap are they any good? I have a Kingston Flash drive which has been great so presumed their SD cards should be of the same quality.

Sandisk Extreme III or IV seem to be the cards of choice by many.

Sandisk Extreme III has done exceedingly well for me so far, blindingly fast!

I went with 2GB Sandisk ones(Just normal ones, not Extreme III) as they were only £12. 4Gb for £24 delivered is pretty good imo, and ive had no problems with them.

I always go for SanDisk when it comes to flash memory.

Don't bother with all the Extreme and Ultra stuff though.

ive found the Ultra II for £15 delivered (2gb)

still 10mb/s write

more than enough

Looks like its sandisk then, I think the normal ones will be enough for me. All I will be doing is taking a few snaps and transferring to the PC.

From a Jersey DVD and Music retailer you can get a 2GB Sandisk Xtreme III for £17 delivered. End of story?

not ebay

a reputable ink/ memory / etc.. shop who happened to be doing free postage at the time. Most places on the internet sell the normal ultra II (not plus) for about £15. just most charge postage on top

yeah they charge £15 delivered for the ultra II, same as the ink/memory place i used.

not worth the extra £2 unless you've got a proper camera. For us PAS noobies, the Ultra II at 10mbs is more than fast enough
