Memory just ain't worth it. But still it shows they can get this memory into a small space. ]]>Sep 20th 2007 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/]]>Sep 20th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26213&vpn=PSF16SDHC6&manufacture=Others]]>Sep 20th 2007 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/Sep 20th 2007 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/Sep 20th 2007 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/Sep 20th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/

I'm all for ensuring I have backups, but how do you make a backup when you take the PoS card out of your camera, put it in the card reader and then get nothing but read errors? I ran the full version of Photo Rescue Pro on it with no success and the same with the 2Gb card. I tried several different card readers and two different computers.

Incidentally, the 4Gb card was less than 5 months old, the 2Gb card was less than a month old. I said it before and I'll say it again, stay away from Patriot cards.

And BTW, Seagate's Data Recovery Service is awesome!]]>Sep 21st 2007 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/
The Kingmax card on the other hand seems to be a single piece with a very thin heat laminated layer on the bottom side. You can even see and feel the circut traces, the chip etc, all outlined in relief. The entire surface is black. Almost like a thin layer of rubber painted on. All of my SD cards have been in water multiple times and still work fine after being dried. The Kingmax one even went through the wash in my jeans, including the dryer!

I've yet to have a failure in any of these brands and had assumed all SD cards were durable. So finding out that there have been problems with Patriot cards is good. I will be much more selective when buying more SD cards, and will stay away from Patriot especialy!

See my post above. I was using the 4Gb card in my D80 when it failed.]]>Sep 21st 2007 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/Sep 21st 2007 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/patriot-16gb-sdhc-card-hits-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/22/toshiba-announces-32gb-16gb-sdhc-cards/

But, if Transcend were to make one for a reasonable price, I'd go for that]]>Sep 20th 2007 5:08PM
