1. ht552...
2. Works
3. Bought in DK from Moby Memory http://mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp...b%5FMOBY%5F001
4. £35.99
5. Read: 10 MB/s Write: 1.9 MB/s




Edit: Did a test with ATTO Windows Disk Benchmark with the card in the cardreader slot in my laptop.

Also did the same test on a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card.

The two cards have practically the same read speed, 10 MB/s, but when it comes to write speed, the Sandisk is more than 3 times faster, app. 6.2 MB/s, and this of course is clearly noticeable when copying large files to the card.

as a warning, people on other forums over the internet have reported that there are some fake cards out there that rip people off...
they sell cards saying that they have 4gb but instead it is just a 2gb, hacked someway to say its 4gb!

some cards never even work!

others may work for about a month, then break after that!

my opinion is, stop giving away your money, ans top believeing all the liars that say that their card does work!

and if you want a 4GB card, wait until some wonderful hack comes around and enables SDHC on the wizzard (like it did for treo 650).... and then only buy from reputable stores like newegg, and trusted names like sandisk !

why do you think trusted companies never make "hacked 4GB" cards????
Why are they releasing real 4GB cards in SDHC format?

BECAUSE THE 4GB normal SD CARDS DONT EXIST!!!!!!!!

there is always the choice of buying 2 2GB cards!

ohh, and no initianion towards a flame war.... i just don't like to see naive people get ripped off.... also, don't believe every single word i say, the same way you don't believe every single thing other people say, just take into account my OPINION when buying one of thoes non-SDHC 4GB cards.....

If you got your non-SDHC mini card to work great for you, but that's what i think, i would never buy any card from any unknown brand.

new to XDA, and already in love!!!!!!!!!

[bbobeckyj]

a cynic might say that the branded companies are only releasing sdhc cards because they cost more to buy.
but that's why i started this thread - to weed out the 'bad' sellers.
i would like people to post their own info and experiences, and they can always edit their post if the card fails at a later time.
one issue suggests that 4gb cards are real - why can only the newer serial numbered wizards recognise them? if the cards are all hacked 2gb cards, then all wizards should be able to see them, shouldn't they?

Well, my cheapo-ebay-sourced 4GB mini SD's been faultless in my Wizard. It's full of 3.5GB MP3s and all my apps and I've had no trouble whatsover. Cost me £23 inc postage.

Could anyone confirm if HT548 would work with any brand at all?
