1.0 out of 5 stars UPDATE: Card died on me!, November 7, 2003

I originally wrote a positive review about the card, but perhaps a little too soon. I've had this less than a week and hardly used it....and now it's dead. Camera says "unable to use," and my PC doesn't recognize it anymore. I just read several negative reviews for the Ultra II Compact Flash version, so I'm not surprised the SD cards are duds too. Returning mine for refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Corrupted before I even got the rebate, April 7, 2004

There have been many stories on the Internet about avoiding Sandisk Secure Digital cards because after using them for a short period of time, they became corrupted causing people to loose their pictures. I have a two month old 256MB Ultra II SD card that just bit the dust as well as causing me to loose everything on the card. I tried everything I could think of to revive the card, but it's stone cold dead. I've been shooting digital for nine years now and have several cameras, so I'm not a newbie. To Sandisk's credit, they are providing a prepaid FedEx label (though I still have to drive to the FedEx station), but I was told it would take 3-4 weeks before I received a new card. This is far too long to wait so I'll be looking at other brands before considering another Sandisk product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lasted a day, November 16, 2003

I used this card with a SanDisk ImageMate USB 2.0 reader/writer and a Palm Tungsten T3 (with the SD patch applied). After a day of use, the card was no longer recognized by the Palm or PC. I've returned the card. I'm going to try the equivalent Panasonic SD card.
