5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny & faster than advertised, August 17, 2010

This review is from: Kingston Mobility Kit - 16 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card with SD and miniSD Adapters + USB Reader MBLYG2/16GB (Personal Computers)

Compact size:

This thing is tiny. The included USB reader + micro SDHC memory card are almost entirely swallowed when inserted into a USB slot. This goes everywhere with me on my keychain.

Compatibility:

I've used this on several Macs & several PCs running XP. I've had no issues, as would be expected for a standard mass storage device.

Speed:

This series of cards have been rated as Class 4 by Kingston. This means they should be able to write at least 4 MB/s (that's bytes, NOT bits). I own both the 4GB & 16GB versions, and can verify the micro SDHC card are marked as Class 4. In my very limited testing of copying a 1,677 MB file to each drive, I found them to write very close to 9 MB/s. This makes this card quite a bit faster than is advertised.

This review is from: Kingston Mobility Kit - 8 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card with SD and miniSD Adapters + USB Reader MBLYG2/8GB (Personal Computers)

This particular review is of the 8GB version of the Kingston Mobility kit but some of it is applicable to any of the capacities. If you find this review helpful, please click the "Yes" button at the bottom of the review. :) Thanks for reading!

I was looking for a microSDHC card for my new BlackBerry 9700 Bold. My primary usage was to shoot and store video and photos captured from my Blackberry as well as MP3 audio. I also wanted to store various other documents (word, excel, pdf, etc) on it whenever I needed and the Kingston Mobility Kit was the PERFECT SOLUTION.

The micro USB reader that is included in this kit was the biggest selling point for me. It's very small and compact compared to carrying a USB flash drive. The reader measures a mere 25mm x 12mm and is only a little over 2mm thick! Most USB flash drives/sticks are substantially bigger than that. This compact size is a blessing since I have it attached to my keychain and I put my keys in my pocket. Even if you didn't need a microSDHC card, this kit would be perfect to use as a tiny USB flash drive! I've encountered many occasions where I needed to copy a file or files from a friend or colleague and simply popped the Kingston microSDHC out of my phone and put it into the micro USB reader. Then I simply plugged the USB reader into the computer (yes, with my keys dangling) and copied the file(s). Then, when I got home, it was just a simple matter of putting the microSDHC card back into the micro USB reader and then into one of my computers (I have both a Windows PC and a Mac) and copying the file(s) onto my computer. BTW, it comes preformatted as a FAT32 partition (in layman's term, it will be able to read/write to Mac, PC, and Linux with this partition type).

The microSDHC card itself has worked flawlessly in my phone. I have never had any problems reading or writing from it. And while shooting video with my Blackberry, it's had no problem in keeping up with the demands of read/write speeds when it comes to shooting video (the video is constantly being streamed onto the card and the card's read/write access times have to keep up with the video's real-time read/write needs in order to prevent the device from prematurely stopping the video).

If you're in the market for a microSDHC card, don't hesitate to purchase the Kingston Mobility Kit. It's reliable for storing video, photos, MP3, documents, etc. and easily allows you to copy your files to and from different computers (Windows, Mac, Linux) with the included micro USB reader.

This review is from: Kingston Mobility Kit - 2 GB microSD Flash Memory Card with SD and miniSD Adpaters + USB Reader MBLYG2/2GB (Personal Computers)

I purchased this, along with the SanDisk 2gb card for two pre-paid mobile phones that needed microSD to store music. It works great. No troubles yet! The company that sold the phone recommended the Sandisk over other microSD cards, but I haven't noticed a difference between this one and the Sandisk.

Note: On first install, the PC didn't read the card. I took off the back of the phone, removed and replaced the card to see if it was just a placement issue, and tried again. Worked like a champ.
