What SD Card Are You Using?

[ambro]

Hi guys,
looking to get a 1gb sd card for the Magician M500 to upgrade from a Sandisk 256mb card.

Just looking around on forums but people are saying some do work and some dont!

The obvious card that i was going to get is the ADATA Myflash 1gb 150x,
due to its speed, however some of you saying this card does not work?

So the question is what card do you use and what size is it?

Thanks
Ambro

works perfect, and fast

Ok, ok, hold your horses.....

I'm using SanDisk 1.0 GB (normal one) without problems
under 2005 on a SPV M1000.

I used to use a 'normal' SanDisk 1GB

I now use a Zynet 2GB running at 68x speed.

I think there are far more issues with 2GB cards and the JAM than 1GB.

The ADATA 150x 2GB did not work on my device.

yeah dont think that the spv m1000 has any problems with 1gb or 2gb Sd cards, i was on about the M500 its a different type of phone to the M1000! and its known as the imate jam or magician aswell as the M500.. (hence this was posted in the magician forum)

thanks for the feedback so far though :)


sh500:
when i transfer using Activesync and my magician i get speeds of about just under 2700kbps, what kinda of speeds are you getting with a 68x card?

you can find out by using analog x netstat live.
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/nsl.htm

Install that prog and load it up comes up with a panel, right click and configure and it shows tcp/ip interface select the 127.0.0.1 and measure in bits! it will display the speed of transfer between phone and computer!

Attached my sample...
Rougly achieved 2600kbps using Sandisk 256mb Ultra II Sd Card..

ambro,

I'm afraid I cannot check as my JAM is in repair for a dead pixel!

I think the Ultra II is almost the same speed (as 68x) is it not?

Plus, although im no expert, i think there is a limit to how fast our JAMs can utilise anyway. I may be wrong.

I am using an 1 Gb Princeton card on my new Qtek S110 and it works very good. I had no problems with it.

using a toshiba 1 gb card. used a 512 mb by sandisk but discovered that i could only use 420 mb...not sure if this is a problem with the card itself or if this is a common thing. anyone experienced this? i know that that for all sd cards you can't really use the entire size description...example if your card is 1 gb you can only use 900-plus of it and not the entire 1gb. in my case my toshiba sd card allows me to go and use 993 mb which suits me just fine.

1GB sd card are becoming very cheap as the 2GB have come into the market.

Although, double the size does not yet mean double the price. 2GB are generally about 115% more than the 1GB.

I had my SanDisk 1GB for only about a month and sold it to get a 2GB.

I tried PQI 133x 2G, but failed. Now using Sandisk 2G without problem!

I'm using a Panasonic 1GB pro high speed (20 mb/s). No problems whatsoever.
