Hiya,

First post, something always gets me excited enough to stop lurking and bugger me if its not something cool like cheap SD cards.

As resigned as I am that SD over 128Mb just ain't gonna work without a patch and that both my Sandisk (256Mb) cards are now in the hands of UPS as I get a refund from Pocket Solutions (Real nice about sending them back for refund, most US companies seem this way). Well I need some storage space so thought I'd try and source another make.

Lexor seemed popular but other than via Ebay getting them in the UK is pretty expensive. So I went on [url]www.pricerunner.co.uk[/url] and did a search and came up with this.

Dane-Elec SD Card 256Mb at 65 quid inc Vat

Skeptical of good old British up yours, tough, customer care I emailed first regarding compatibility, here's their reply:

[quote] Thank you very much for your recent email and interest in ordering product from us.
All our Dane-Elec memory products come with a lifetime guarantee and so as long as the product you have works with standard secure digital products it should be fine.We have thus far not had any Dane-Elec products fail as it is very reliable.Should the secure digital card prove faulty in any way and you need to return the item to us we will refund you in total for the item.

However the particular version you require the 256MB is currently not in stock and we do not expect to have stock for another week.[/quote]

So with that I ordered one today and will see how it goes, Dane seem to be a proper mfr rather than rebadger so I'm crossing fingers it'll at least be better than the sandisks.

Oh website. :) [url]http://www.computerwebstore.co.uk/[/url]

I'll report back on the service, performance etc later if anyone is interested. Till then, first post out. :hide:
