5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and Spacious, June 9, 2009

This review is from: Kingston 8GB "Go Green" microSDHC, Class 4 with Full Size Adapter (Personal Computers)

The Kingston 8 GB microSDHC Card works flawlessly with all my memory card readers: Kingston Mobilite, Kingston microSD Card Reader, and SD Card Reader. Windows (XP) has no trouble recognizing it as a removable drive.

- Device Compatibility
Using a microSDHC to MS PRO Duo Adapter, I am able to use the Kingston 8GB microSD in my Sony Cybershot DSC-W170 Camera -- it works like a charm; the camera has no trouble capturing pictures and videos (at a frame frate of 30 fps and a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels). All of my devices, such as my Garmin nüvi 360 and my HP iPAQ 111, are able to recognize the full capacity of the SD card.

- microSDHC Format
microSD cards of 4GB or larger are known more specifically as microSDHC cards. This 8GB Kingston card is therefore a microSDHC card. Beware that some older devices are NOT compatible with the microSDHC format. Such devices will only work with microSD cards with capacities of 2GB (such as this Kingston 2GB microSD card) or less.

(The technical specification for the SDHC/microSDHC format supports capacities ranging from 4GB - 32 GB. microSDHC cards of 16GB, such as this Kingston 16GB microSDHC card, is the largest capacity available as of this writing.)

- Class 4 Speed
This SD card is rated class 4 (data transfer rate: 4 MByte/sec, or 32 mbps) - sufficiently fast for the majority of electronics. A decidedly small number of electronics, most notably some camcorders and high-end cameras, require a class 6 SD card (the fastest transfer rate as of this writing). Transcend makes one that's rated class 6.

- Frustration-Free Packaging
Kudos to Amazon for their Frustration-Free Packaging efforts in using only recyclable packaging materials and in keeping the amount of packaging used to a bare minimum. As a giant in the e-tailing industry, Amazon's move will no doubt serve as an impetus for getting the rest of the e-tailers to follow suit!

The Kingston memory card is compatible with devices that support the microSDHC format. It is a fast (class 4) memory card with plenty of storage. Definitely recommended if the specs meet your needs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised in my Sandisk Fuze, October 28, 2009

This review is from: Kingston 8GB "Go Green" microSDHC, Class 4 with Full Size Adapter (Personal Computers)

I bought the Kingston 8GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card specifically to be used in my newly acquired Sandisk Fuze mp3 player SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)

As flash memory prices continue to drift downwards in price, I could not resist the urge to triple my Sandisk Fuze memory from 4GB to 12GB by the addition of this 8GB card. The difference in price between purchasing a 4GB Fuze or an 8GB Fuze is at the time of this review about $15. This card cost just a little bit more than that so it was really a no-brainer and gave me a lot of memory for not a lot of money.

Installation was as easy as could be. I inserted the card, turned on the player to ensure that it was recognized. I now have ample storage for lots of tunes on my Fuze and I could not be happier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent -- May be a little bit slower, September 26, 2011

I am happy with this item. Had purchase it over an year ago for my GPS[extra maps] and still working fine. This is not as fast as newer Class 6 and Class 10 sdhc cards are but I think the transfer speeds are more than enough for average usage
