Cheap: but too wide and doesn't work with Win 98SE,

Great value for money (about £11). Too wide. I cannot plug some other devices in adjacent ports on my D-Link USB hub.
I cannot use it to transfer data betwenn my XP machine and an old 98SE box. To be fair it does not claim to be 98SE compatible. Now I need to buy one that is .
There is a Win98 driver installer on the manufacturer's site but it did not work. There is a lot of internet forum discussion on this. I gave up trying the suggested fixes.
Did not like the u3 software. You can get rid of it and remove the partition using the u3 software itself.

Excellent product - good value for money

I bought this USB stick a couple days ago. So far it's been working as it should. It's very small and lightweight. The cap is securely attached, so it doesn't fall off. The USB stick didn't need a system reboot (I have windows xp professional edition) and worked on every single computer I tried instantly (even mac). 4GB is also a lot of space, which I truly need, so this is pure value for money. I'm extremely pleased with the warranty of 1 year (and hope I won't need it). So far, there hasn't been any drawbacks. There is some free-trial software on the stick, which I haven't had the time to check out yet - so I can't comment on that. Unfortunately the stick isn't password protected but you can download data protection software from the internet and encrypt all sensitive data on it, so that could save you the extra pounds you'd be required to spend on a USB stick with password protection. I'd definitely recommend this product because it's just pretty, does what it's supposed to do and seems very robust and reliable - and don't forget the cheap price.

Lost 1gb after format

I trusted in Sandisk as a good brand but after formatting the card after a few weeks use, i lost half of its size (1gb from 2gb) that cannot be recovered no matter what i use to read it, format it or analyze it (with intermediate-advanced pc knowledge). Not happy wouldnt buy Sandisk again.

SanDisk ULTRA value for huge memory

My purchase was a re-order having been so pleased with the price, quality and delivery time of the previous purchase. I got this one to be able to upgrade my TomTom SAT NAV system with a new map. It works fine of course- this is a quality product. This size of card sells for 4 or more times this price on other sites and I have seen this exact card affectively 3 times this price when postage is taken into account.
If you need a 1GB card just buy it you won't regret it!

Incompatible with Samsung mobile phone

I bought this for my daughter, it is supposed to be compatible with her samsung. the phone recognises a card has been inserted, but cannot access the card.I think it's because it's HC?

Anyway, works well as a tiny USB stick!

Works well

I have used this with my nikon D60 and it works fine. It will store up to around 1000 images from the camera (highest quality and resolutiuon JPEGs). Not sure that I need the speed, but the price is cheap enough just to use the card once and keep it as 'exposed' digital film.

Poor design

As a memory stick it does exactly what its meant to do - however the design of the casing isn't so good. After only a couple of months of use the lid became very lose and I have subsequently lost it!

So from a functional point of view its fine - but from a design point of view it's rubbish - and I guess the same goes for all those in the same design!!!

£10 for 4Gig - WOW!

Fabulous, best deal ever - Please ignore the review from the first person.
Surely everyone knows that Standard SD cards only go upto 2gb, for higher memory capacity's you need a device which can read SDHC cards.

Pretty in pink!

What's there to dislike about this item? It's a cute and nifty little device, and does exactly what it says on the tin! The cap stays on quite firmly when not in use, and it's small, light and fast, so get one for yourself to see what your missing. Am going to get another one, probably one in blue to complement this one. As you've probably already guessed, I recommend this flash drive.

Easy, cheap and functional. But you get what you pay for.

Truthfully it is hard to justify such a high score, as this is an item that does what it says on the tin, and nothing more. But that's all it's supposed to do, and it does it well.

No drivers required, XP just takes a couple of seconds to work out how to handle the device once plugged in and away you go. I've tested it with 2 different SD cards (16MB and 512MB) and they work with no problems, as does the 512MB MicroSD (trans-flash) card that I use with it.

The build seems solid, but too light for my liking, it feels as though more care could have been put into the build, but the build quality doesn't rattle and everything is secure. The material's shortfalls are justified by the price.

There are two potential problems that I see with this device, both are easily avoided with the most minute amount of care. The first is there is no indication as to which way up the cards should be inserted. You should find that they only go in one way, so don't force them too hard. It is fairly easy to find out by experiment how they fit in, but don't break your card in the process.
The potential problem I found is while it is connected to my PC. Now this may just be a problem with my not-quite-so-perfect PC or my incredibly old USB extension splitter thing that I used to connect it (which takes and external power supply). But I found that the device got very hot when using my MicroSD card in it, and it hadn't been left in for that long. Granted I had trasferred lots to it in a short space of time, but it still worried me a bit, you don't want your memory cards melting in there. So just a word of advice: copy you files, disconnect the device immediately, and only reconnect when you want to transfer files back. Don't work on files straight off the device.

Pity to concentrate on the fallbacks of what is essentially a very functional, versatile, portable and cheap device.

One for the girls..

If you want a drive that does the job AND is pink and funky, then here it is - enjoy.

OUTRAGEOUS POSTAGE TERMS

I recently had a satnav from you with very reasonable postage and packing costs and it arrived in two days. Now I try to order £18-86 worth of memory sticks and am quoted an extra £18 for postage. This detracts from the favourable image I have always had of Amazon.

4GB M2 memory card

The first thing you notice about this memory 'card' is the fact that its smaller than a postage stamp and could be lost in a deep carpet!
I bought this for my sony ericsson k800i and, for the doubters, it does with this phone!
The only problem with it is that you can fit around 1200 tracks at 128kbits/sec, and when there are this many tracks on the card, that when you want to play one track on the music player function on the k800i, it takes 45 seconds from selecting the track to the phone unfreezing and actually playing the track, and thats with only 1.8GB taken up by 580 MP3s! When playing an artists music or an album the phone runs at normal speed.
Nowadays 4GB cards arent expensive any more. if your phone can take an M2, check its maximum memory card capacity and if it takes up to 4GB, buy this card!

One other thing, when filling up this card on my k800i it took the disc2phone mp3 transferring and recoding program about 4.5 hours to put the 1.8GB of music onto the phone. Leave the computer to do this overnight with 3GB+ of songs.

Increased Speed

Bought this to replace a 1Gb Microdrive so I could shoot RAW files with my Fujifilm S9600. Thought that speed difference would be negligible as I presumed it was limited by the camera, however when it comes to reviewing shots (i.e. Read speed) scrolling is almost instantaneous, compared to a highly noticeable delay with the old card.

Excellent Product

I lost my 2GB card and after I upgraded my Xda Exec to Windows Mobile 6 I decided to buy this one. works like a dream and gives the kind of bandwidth I never had. The best thing is that you can simply use the adapter and plug it into a USB port, simply great to trasfer music quickly.

Ensure you are being sent what you order

Just recieved 2x 4gb micro sd cards (sandisc). These are advertised with reader included however, no reader in packing. Purchased from Tradeport, please check before you buy. I have been informed via e-mail that sandisc no longer supply these cards with the readers. If this is true why are they still being advertised? Also been informed again via e-mail that they must recieve them back within 7 days for me to get my refund. Its a bank holiday so not much chance of that happening.

This Mini SD is great

Order arrived on time and packaged well.

Very good price, £7 for 2Gb, that's amazing value.

I bought it for my Nokia 6288 and works wonders for me, I can store huge amounts for images, videos, mp3s, backgrounds etc.

Cool product.
