Yes, there are cheaper SD cards. But read their fine print: they (the cheaper ones) are slow - and often unreliable. Don't cripple your investment in a digital camera by going cheap on the SD memory card.

Get this one. It rocks.

Worth two? Yes, because this is my second purchase of a Simpletech SD card. This brand is not one of the least expensive, and it's for good reason. It's very dependable. I've never lost photo data; nor have I had any of them become corrupted. True, there are 1 gigabyte SD cards out right now, but having two 512 MB cards instead is not too bulky, anyway. Simpletech is a known quantity. Other brands aren't, and all I hear is how people have gotten defective cards from the other brands. Not Simpletech. This is my brand of choice. Can't wait for their 1 GB!

Have had this for over 2 months for a Europe trip and worked fantastic. No problems, good selection for the money as well.

I have owned one of these SimpleTech 512's for about a year now and it has been hard at work in my Dell AXIM X5 almost every day. The X5 has had a lot of compatibility issues with SD cards and I found that out first hand after I bought it. I have tried several brands of SD cards in my AXIM and the only one that works correctly is the SimpleTech. I saw an article on the internet about the AXIM's problems with SD cards and in the article, the SimpleTech brand was the only one that was said to work well with the AXIM. I purchased my 512 version, plugged it in the X5 and it has been working flawlessly from day one. I would highly recommend the card. Mine has been used constantly and it just keeps going. I have several other SimpleTech products, mostly USB external hard drives, and I have never had a failure of a single one of their products. I believe the company puts a lot of quality into their products and I will continue to buy them.

I BOUGHT THE CARD TO USE IN MY DELL AXIM HANDHELD. CARD IS EASY TO INSTALL, EASY TO USE, TOTALLY RELIABLE. IT HAS A WRITE PROTECT FEATURE TO PREVENT LOSS OF DATA. I'M VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT.

Just received the SimleTech STI-SD/512, and realized it looks different from the picture. It is thinner, black color and plus no "lock" switch. What's going on Simpletech, are you sending me an inferior product?

I purchased the card one month ago. First of all, the card received is different from the picture. It is thinner than the picture and doesn't have the write protector. Worst of all, my camera can not detect the card after 4 days use. I tried with another camera and two PDAs. None of them can detect the card. I contacted the ventor and requested a refund for the purchase. I finally got the refund but the shipping was deducted. I am not sure what the logic is here. Am I responsible for receiving the defective product? I won't bother to argue with them for the shipping charge but there is one thing for sure. I will never buy anything from SimpleTech again. I should give them one star rating but consider their promptness in replying email, I give them 2 stars rating.

I got some SimpleTech SDs and let me say that these are the best SD I ever had. Incredible fast and reliable. Never lost a byte!!
Also they have a great customer service. I issued an order but the product couldn't be shipped on time. So i sent an email to them and they immediately canceled the order and refund me. No words!!! This is the vendor to go!!!

WOW! SD just keeps getting better. I heard the capacity will be 1GB this year and it works in everything from my Palm to my HP printer to my Panasonic camera! And the SDIO stuff they were showing at CES was cool!
