I bought this SD card 2 1/2 years ago for use in my Magellan Meridian GPS receiver. Worked great until last month. Went to SanDisk's website for help. The tech support people had me go through some diagnostic procedures and determined that the card wasn't fixable. They arranged for me to return the card to them and even paid for shipping by FedEx. Two days after they received my old card, a new one was on its way to me. Just received it today and it works like a charm.

It sure is nice to do business with a company that stands behind its products and cares about its customers.
How many pictures will it store? - Review written on November 05, 2004

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDSDB-128-A10 Secure Digital 128MB, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

I bought it for use on the Toshiba e755 six months ago. I did not find any problem. It runs surprisingly fast, so I put a lot mp3s in it and my pda can be used as a small size ipod :)

I bought this memory for my HP Photosmart 320 2 years ago. Since then I have traveled to Paris, Ireland, Hawaii, and a few southern states. Overall I took 10,000 pics w/ this camera and its trusty 128 mb san disk memory. It has performed wonderfully for all of these trips. I recomend this item for any Digital photographer.

Not compatible with Toshiba E740 - Review written on May 31, 2003

I bought the card because it said that it is compatible with PDA.
I first had some troubles with transfer large files. Then had trouble with backup(back-up) of the Toshiba E740 pocket PC.
After chatting with Toshiba online support, suggesting that I check the compatibility, I went to the Sandisk's website, and then found out that the SD 128 MB (619659015947/B000068CS0)doesn't compatible with Toshiba product. What a problem. Hope that help.
Beware: not good with Zaurus - Review written on April 04, 2003

Rating: 3 out of 5

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.

I use one of these memory modules in my Toshiba E740, and it works flawlessly. Sandisk memory is also usually cheaper than many of the other brands, which makes it a excellent value.

Won't Work With Toshiba PDA according to Toshiba - Review written on January 17, 2003

According to Toshiba technical support, this product will not
work with a Toshiba PDA. Therefore it is worthless to me. I
have no idea as to why Amazon.com sells it under these circumstances. My recommendation would be to not buy it until
you check with the manufacturer of the product where you plan to place it. Any SD manufacturer that has this poor of a relationship with a major device manafacturer should either repair the relationship or warn customers of problems. Avoid
this product unless you are sure it works with your device.

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 read several reviews that had a negative evaulation of the SanDisk 128mb secure digital card and have found them to be inaccurate. I bought a Sharp 4MegaPixel Digital Camera and this product works great. Down-loading is easy, and picture quality
is great. The card formats easily and seems to be a great product. For the price, $... with a ... rebate and free shipping, this is a hell of a bargain! I recommend this product to the consumer interested in Value and Quality.

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.

I checked all other prices before buying this and saw that the lowest price I can find is [money]. I got discouraged at first because of the negative reviews that I saw but figured out that the card won't work on older models of PDA's and digital cameras. But once you've upgraded the software for your PDA or dig cam, it works perfectly. My dig cam was the latest model so I was able to use the card straight from the box. No problems, no delays. I can store almost 100 pics using a 3.2 MP cam with highest resolution. Long story short, GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE!

I bought the 128MB card to use in my Leica Digilux and immediately had problems...some shots would not record others looked like they recorded, but then would turn up corrupted when I brought them into Photoshop. I went back to my original card and no problems. An isolated issue? Who knows.
May have compatibility problems with Toshiba PDAs - Review written on December 16, 2002

Rating: 3 out of 5

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.

I bought this memory card to give me more room to store mp3s for jogging (it holds about 2 hours worth of 160 kbps mp3s). The secure digital card continues to work flawlesly, even after suffering several falls while within my mp3 player.
The card has a write-protection sliding tab, enabling you to view your files without fear of accidental erasure.
Though it is a 132MB card, it's user accesable capacity is 120MBs.
I'm buying another just as soon as I get my Kodak DX4330...

What do you say about someting you don't think about because it does what it is supposed to do. Yeah they are small but what does it matter when that is the form factor your device accepts.

Too bad Sans Customer from San Francisco did not buy this card at Costco. He could have returned his card no questions asked, even after the warranty expired, for a full refund. Not sure how they (Costco) can make money by having such a liberal return policy but it is a fact. I returned some computer stuff there that was over 3 years old and got a full refund.

Got a handspring Treo 90 and bought the SanDisk 128MB Secure Digital Memory card the next day. Had to update the Treo with an update from Handspring before using it, but it was no problem. In genral it is awesome. Loading data (like a 12MB dictionary from Peanutpress or whatever they are called these days) is slow, but I think that has to do with Flash in general and not necessarily the SanDisk card. I have also loaded a ton of jpegs on it and it works like a champ. I highly recommend this memory card.

Bought one of these and it was defective.

After calling Sandisk and spending 15 minutes giving all the info to some representative in FLA, was told they would be back to me in 3-4 days. After hearing nothing from them for about 14 days (even with another phone call), I finally got an email from their customer service. Too late, as I dumped this card at a loss and went with Lexar- a company whose memory has held up well for me. As far as Sandisk goes- cheap prices, but you end up paying later if you ever need support.

NOT COMPATABLE with Toshiba e310! - Review written on October 09, 2002

I just got off the line with Toshiba. The Sandisk SD's are NOT compatable with their Pocket PC's. I bought three of the 128 MB's at once (for backups and data storage) and two have died so far. Sandisk did not know of this (they do now) but Toshiba DID and has NO warnings up on their Web site! Man am I ticked! The 128's will work for a while, start to fail, then hard fail on the Pocket PC (won't even recognize it). Toshiba suggested I buy a Toshiba SD instead (or a Dilken to be fair). Toshiba, I love the e310, but this is a poor way to treat customers.

Does not work with Sharp Zaurus - Review written on September 08, 2002

DO NOT buy this if you want to use it with a Sharp Zaurus -- if you check the Zaurus newsgroups, you'll find that this card does not work with that great little PDA. It will mount once, then if you turn the machine off or eject the card it will never be mountable again. It's not clear if this is a problem with the SD card or the Zaurus, but it is clear you should use a different brand...
