Beware: not good with Zaurus - Review written on April 04, 2003
Rating: 3 out of 5
4 customers found this review helpful, 2 did not.
I bought two of these and they simply don't work at all with Zaurus SL-5500. This is well documented on the web, and is due to wait state changes that were made to the card, but I didn't find that out until too late. The latest ROM from sharp (2.38) doesn't seem to help. At first, they show on the desktop, but after a while, they disappear.
I have no reason to believe it isn't a great product when used with other devices. This just applies to the Zaurus.
Mail in Rebate for $20.00, what a great value! - Review written on January 03, 2003

I bought the ScanDisk 128MB Secure Digital Card for $59.99 with a $20.00 MAIL-IN REBATE, and it operates beautifully in my Sharp, 4.2 MegaPixel, VE-CG40U Digital Camera. I have achieved great vaule in purchasing these products, the camera for $297.00 and the Card for $39.00 after mail-in rebate, what a wonderfull world. The ScanDisk 128mb holds 97 pictures at the highest resolution and the pictures are great.They are equivalent to any 35mm shot, I am comparing the pictures to a Canon AE-1. I have used this card several times and have had NO problem downloading, re-formating or printing the pictures on both my HP printer or my Lexmark all-in-one printer. The Sharp camera is equivalent to any 4MegaPixel camera out there and the ScanDisk secure digital card works great, so far! (I printed the mail-in-rebate form when I ordered the card from Amazon, the rebate comes from ScanDisk.)The ScanDisk 128mb secure digital card seems to have been a steal at Amazon for $59.99 with a $20.00 rebate and free shipping!

I bought the 128MB Sandisk SD card for use with my Concord Eye-Q camera. It works great. I dropped it in, and the camera immediately recognized it, transferred two pix to it that were in internal memory, and told me that I have 171 pix remaining.
I was in Myanmar (Burma) in September and October taking pictures. Suddenly, ie. without warning, the SD card began refusing access and could not even be reformatted. I understand it has a five year warranty, so I will be checking it out and will update this review after doing so.
May have compatibility problems with Toshiba PDAs - Review written on December 16, 2002

Before you purchase this card (Sandisk 128MB SD) for your Toshiba PDAs (like I did), you should visit PDA discussion forums like Brighthand.com. There had been many instances where data lost occured because of incompatibility between the specific card and Toshiba PDAs (like my Toshiba E310). Sandisk tech support basically throws their hands up and say - "they are not compatible with each other".
If it works for you, make sure you keep your data backed up in case something does happen. But backing up data is something you should do regularly anyway. Good luck!

I started using these cards a few months ago. Bought two of them. They were a lot cheaper than those from Lexar, Simple, etc. However, you get what you pay for.
I first found out how bad these cards are when I bought a Sharp Zaurus. Apparently Sandisk does something funky in the hardware on these cards that keeps them from behaving like everyone else's cards. Whatever they have done keeps it from working on the Zaurus.
While looking through some other products here , I am now seeing that they are not working on things such as the Toshiba e740 (which I also own). The card seemed to work on mine, but only half way. I had been attributing problems to the PC2002 OS on it. Turns out I was a bit mistaken.
So, if you can get this card to work in your device, good luck to you. If you can't, get rid of the card and buy something from another manufacturer.

Bought the SD card for use in my iPAQ 3955. Works great with my iPAQ as well as my Kodak DK3700 Digital Camera.
I also purchased the SecureMate SDCard reader. Running WIN XP Pro I had no problem finding and copying files to the SDCard.
