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?!

If you have an old SD card reader that isn’t SDHC compatible, it’s going to show this card as having a capacity of 975 megs. That’s what happened to me and that’s why my phone showed it as having a 1.9 gig capacity while my PC couldn’t write more than 975 megs to it.
I only found this out after getting an SDHC 4 gig card for my phone (to replace this) and found out about the difference between SD and SDHC. When I put this in an SDHC capable reader connected to my PC, it showed up as 1.9 gigs and operated fine.
Be careful when ordering this that the product you’re going to use it in is SDHC ready or you’ll only get half the advertised capacity.

The Chinese and Taiwan SD cards have been bad for years, yet companies like Kingston and plenty of others still are selling them as OEM’s. Check the forums for the plethora of problems people have. If you want to be frustrated by the pictures you have taken on your vacation being corrupt and unuseable, then get one of these cards. If on the otherhand you want to be able to use and enjoy the pictures you have taken, then get one from Japan. How do you know you have a Japanese card? It says so on the back, and the manufacturers won’t tell you or just don’t know as it depends on where they got the latest batch from. Shameful junk and a company like Kingston should really know better. Avoid like the plague unless you know its origin.

I purchased the 2GB Elite Pro SD card but found out that my older SimpleTech FlashLink card reader is not able to recognize the card under WinXP SP2 with and without the most recent SimpleTech drivers. I don’t have another card reader for my computer, but the pictures recorded on it by my digital camera can be viewed on my PDA so I assume that it’s the card reader. Shortly afterwards, I also discovered that Kingston makes a combo kit that includes their USB 2.0 SD/MMC reader for a bit less in price than the card alone.
I also noticed the ATP line of 60x and 150x SD cards. I have no experience with their products, but their SD cards are potted versus placed in a plastic shell. They tout their cards as being more rugged and waterproof. I’m very careful and have not had any flash cards fail on me, but with the rising capacities and smaller form factors, I will consider the ATP cards in the future.

This SD would not work in my Nikon Coolpix S6 camera (but the Fuji and Sandisk product did)
