SanDisk or Kingston?

Want to get memory card for my X3. Heard alot of complaints on SanDisk card... Kingston a good choice? Or any other brand which perform wonderss

kingston would be my choice over sandisk. panasonic, lexar, viking, and pny are also good brands.

can't think of a card that performs wonders... though i wouldn't be surpised if by christmas there are cards on the market that perform on broadway.

the pace of technology is amazing!

Currently which brand you're using? Any problem with it so far? Or do you have any experience with Kingston card? Do tell me... thanks!!

i have two brands, PNY and Toshiba. never had any problems with either of them. looking at getting a 1GB Lexar card.

I have a Lexar and a SanDisk and no problems at all. The Sandisk is a very good card. The problem was with one batch about a year ago. Since we haven't see any complaint about them. Mine worked just fine.

I use Kingston and Lexar both are good

I am thinking of buying a 2gb sandisk card. Will it work on the x30?

Sansdisk Ultra2 1GB all working fine here.

I've got a 1gb SanDisk card w/my Axim x30 H and it works perfectly...

Thanks for the feedback.. guess what, i don't know what leads me into this

.. I got myself a Pendrive SD card.. it's 512MB. It's cheaper than the rest of the choices there so I gave it a try. so far so good.. just wondering if you guys know any tools to actually test SD card?

I have a SanDisk 256MB that works perfectly. I also have a SanDisk 1GB SD card on order.

I don't have any problem with SanDisk and I think it was an excellent conculsion that Frenchy drew stating that there indeed was a "bad batch" of SanDisk card, but the problem has been rectified, so you can use SanDisk cards freely and without worry.

Well, that's a good news to everyone I guess....

maybe it'll be my next choice. btw, any indication on the card which is previous batch such as production number or anything that we can refer to?

Yep! HappyCheesecake complied a list of SD card that weren't working properly with the Axim. Here's the link: http://sdprob.aximsite.com/theproblemlist.htm

Enjoy!

I can't believe that I'm the only one that has had problems with the Kingston. I cannot get the 256 card to work.

Yeah, I heard a lot of complaints about SanDisk but my 256MB Sandisk runs perfectly fine. I also got a 512MB Kingston, excellent card. I'd say Kingston is better than SanDisk in the end.
