1 out of 5 stars Avoid this card.......2003-08-13

I bought this SD card for use in my Palm Zire 71.

This card doesn't look like a proper SD card, but more like a piece of PCB (printed circuit board) with a sticker on it. It does not have the official SD logo on it, and is also lacking the mandatory write protect switch. Normal SD cards have slightly recessed contacts, on the Smart Modular card they were *on* the surface of the card.

After several frustrating hours of troubleshooting I decided to return it immediately. The card has repeatedly crashed my Palm, gave numerous read errors (e.g. MP3 files "chirped" and skipped a lot, JPEGs had numerous decoding artefacts). VFSMark (a benchmarking utility for external cards) refused to work with it. When using file system utilities (FileZ) to look at the contents, sometimes not all directory entries would be displayed, or the same folder name would appear *twice*. Not good.

I replaced it with a Lexar card (which turned out to be a Sandisk), and haven't had a problem since.
