Hi speed Micro SD card?

[DennisCooper]

Hi there,

Bro has just picked up an Xda Orbit and I wanted to know if there are any high speed Micro SD cards at 1GB or 2GB available?

Since my Xda2i days, I've been impressed with the Transcend range but they dont seem to do any hi speed micro sd cards - or at least I can't see them listed !

I'm open to other's Sandisk etc but I'd like them to be hi speed cards

Can anyone point me to sites which have them please?!

Cheers!

Dennis! West London UK!

Right hand side 2gb £49.99 +postage, I bought one just before Christmas all cool.

But note the thread on MicroSD issues on the Artemis/Orbit in other thread - issues with the PDA not SD card.

i can only recommend the card mentioned by ricardoC above. have been using it for about twelve weeks now and had no issue with it at all. you should keep in mind though, that afaik,the speed of a card INSIDE a ppc device is purely dependant on the speed of the device. therefore the stated read and write speeds not applicable. nevertheless i FIND the card to perform faster in my hero in comparison to sd cards inside my mdac one.

SanDisk memory products have never given me any problems, plus there is 5 year warranty here in Switzerland.

I used a "standard" SD in my old BlueAngel and when I changed it for an UltraII Sandisk SD TomTom map access/scrolling was a LOT faster. Its true the card is only as fast as the interface but you want to get the max out of it so fastest card you can get is best.

It might be true on a Blue Angel but the standard SanDisk SD card is more than fast enough for the Magicians SD interface so buying an Ultra version is just a waste of money.

Disregard my reply, I thought I was still in the Magician forum.

It might be true for the Artemis though.

Hiya

I ordered a 1GB Sandisk Ultra 2 card for my bro's orbit and hopefully it'll work without hiccups and possible corruptions!

My bro's Orbit will be my little test unit and if all is well, I'll get one too ! and the same micro SD card of course!

thanks for the pointers :)

Depending on what you want it for note that TomTom's single map of western europe is 900mb - so it will nearly fill a 1gb card, just thought I would mention it.
