5.0 out of 5 stars Solid SD Card, February 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: PNY 256 MB SD Secure Digital Flash Memory Card (Personal Computers)

My experience with PNYs have been great. They are actually rebranded Toshiba cards, so the quality is very good. I would definitely recommend PNY over Sandisk, which are known for quality control issues.

I just recieved my brandnew 256mb SD memory card from newegg a few hours ago. It came in factory packaging and I know is brand new. Immidiatly upon putting it in my card reader it said "card read error" I have put it in serveral other computers and cameras in an attempt to format it, this card is shot and i JUST GOT IT. This is not the first PNY 256 to do this to me, i gave one away previously in frustrastion thinking it was my computer, it was not. I tried to call there tech support but at first it gave me only the option of where to buy their products when i called again it was closed and offered no info on SD memory. I went online and looked for support for SD but wouldn't you know they don't have any FAQs on it. I tried to write them an email on it but there mail server crashed and my 10 minutes of typing to there tech support was in vein. I have read that many others have recieved cards that didn't work when they got them or failed after 1 or 2 erase cycles. IN SHORT don't by PNY, spend the extra money and get something that will work, if it doesn't work i don't think tech support will help you, if you want to roll the dice and take a chance and something that probably wont work than PNY is for you. If you don't believe me call their tech support 18002344597, you try to ask them about there fine SD memory, go to their website to, see what they have to say about there fine products, spend the 5 minutes to look into it before buying it on impulse

I bought this SD Card on sale thinking I'd just saved a couple bucks, but unfortunately had $3,000 worth of equipment crash because of it. The very first time I used it, it crashed my computer and broke my camera. After taking the pics I wanted, I inserted it into my computer, which instantly started acting strange - slowing down and not recognizing that there was a card inserted. So I tried to restart my computer and it wouldn't restart. I had to take it in to get it fixed, costing me $100 for the technician to tell me it was the SD card. Also, the camera I used it in, a Nikon D80 that I just bought 5 months ago, is now being shipped back to the manufacturer for repair - after using this card, the display monitor wouldn't turn on and the camera wouldn't record any pictures on any of my other SD cards. Next time, I'll spend a little extra money to buy something of quality, especially when using it with my expensive equipment.
