The title pretty much says it all. link

Hot deal!!!!!!!!!!!


It is funny to see many people bought 4GB SD and claim it is defected from Newegg.
Only if they know maybe their device need the firmware upgrade to support 4GB SD.

wonder what's the transfer speed on this sd card..

 

[howdysir]

i already have a google checkout... is there a workaround for that?

 

[TheDrake]

Just use a different email, it will work. I have done it 3 or 4 times and used same credit card and adress but a different email and it has worked for me.

 

[howdysir]

nice- thanks Drake, that is good to know.

has anyone seen any reviews for Connect3D sd cards? newegg doesn't seem to carry their sd cards and amazon has no reviews other than one person who had it 'not recognized'.

 

[msi1337]

here are lots of reviews on the 2GB Connect3D card

Buy.com reviews of 2GB connect3d sd card

will this work with PowerShot SD600? Thanks in advance

I'm in for 1. Total Hotness. Thanks for the heads up!

I just picked one up. My A620 is supposed to work with a 4GB so we'll see. Can't go wrong for 22.xx shipped.

I have same camera, loving it. ( cheap but good!!!! )
But it doesn't support 4GB SD card.

Don't you love the 60fps video recording on that camera?
BTW, need 60X or higher speed w/ the highspeed video recording otherwise, it will stop recording when the writing speed can't catch up.

where's the $10 GC?

4gb compatibility information (partial): http://www.sandisk.com/Compatibility/

edit:

interesting post with semi-technical details about compatibility of >1gb sd and 'sdhc' format:
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=197503

edit again:

You can buy 4GB "SD" cards, but they violate the SecureDigital Association SD specification, and may malfunction in use. You may be lucky and get a card that works in your camera and card reader, but you may not. Just because a card has worked once doesn't mean it will work reliably in the future.

I don't mean to unnecessarily worry anyone but I think anyone who is thinking about buying this should read the above link.

How about something like an Inspiron 6000 or 6400 or 1505, which all have an SD slot on the side of the laptop?

How does one tell if their equipment is compatible?

I received mine earlier last week and to my suprise there were 2 boxes from Buy.com and I could not figure out for the life of me what else I ordered other than the SD card. I open both boxes and they each have the 4GB card. So I get two for the price of one. I talked with my co-worker who ordered one as well and he received two. So I am going to assume its either a mass screw up on buy.com's part or it was a buy one get one free thing.

Anyone else who ordered get two?

 

[Creig]

The first thing I'd do after realizing Buy.com sent me two cards instead of one is to check my credit card statement and see how many they charged me for. Buy.com isn't known for giving ANYTHING away for free.

 

[radioouman]

I only received one, but it is not nearly fast enough for Vista's Readyboost. It will probably work OK in a camera or MP3 player.

Anyone else unable to use google checkout with buy.com?

I've tried to use Google checkout with buy.com multiple times with no success (haven't used it at all yet, so no 'first time use' issues). I keep getting something like a 'timed out' error when the buy.com site tries connecting to the google site. I've tried it many times using Firefox; then just in case it was a blocked cookies issue, I tried it using IE (version 7.0.57..) after clearing all cookies (have so many blocked in Firefox I didn't want to clear them all and have to start massive blocking all over again). Still the same result. Did a test on another site and connected to google checkout just fine.

Anyone have similar issues or thoughts on what might be the matter?

Got a brand name (4GB sd Samsung) for less than $30 - $15 off from Paypal = $15 shipped

[TheDrake]

Yep, I checked my checking account and only 1 $19.99 was charged to it so I am suprised that both my co-worker and I received two of them. How many of you would actually call Buy.com and tell them of their mistake?

not crapping, but please be aware this is NOT a true SDHC card
