I bought a SanDisk 256 from Costco and it was bad. It worked for 1 day then died ("Do you want to format your storage card so you can use it?") I tried mutiple methods of formatting in different formats. Most of the time it would run indefinetly, i.e. 8 hours or more. It lost 20 megs to "ROM" folders that could not be removed. blah blah blah!
I returned it and bought a SimpleTech 256 SD from TapeAndMedia.com for $88 abd it works perfectly. I've beaten it to death and it still works. The SimpleTech is rated at FULL 10Mbits/sec. this may be why it works better, you get an effective 244megs vs. 241, and it has a lifetime guarantee.
BTW, did you know that if you copy music that is copywrited, the SD Card will not let it play? Check out SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) for more info.
