SanDisk's 128 MB Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card includes a high-performance, nine-pin SD interface that enables data transfer rates of up to 10 megabytes per second. Its proprietary interface commands facilitate the secure exchange of content between host devices, like PCs and music servers, and the card itself. The security level provided in the SD Memory Card has been designed to comply with current and projected SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) portable device requirements.

The SD memory card was designed by the consortium of Matsushita Electric (Panasonic), SanDisk and Toshiba and is now supported by the SD Association, an open industry standard organization comprised of over 500 members. The SD card is ideally suited to meet the demands of small portable devices that need high capacity flash memory in a very small size.

4.0 out of 5 stars alexn, August 29, 2002

By A Customer

I purchased this SanDisk 128 MB Secure Digital Card for my Toshiba PRD-3300 digital camera. The first time I received the SD card from Amazon.com, I plugged it into my camera, formatted the card per the specification in the instruction manual and started taking pictures. The pictures came out scrambled on the replay option. I tried reformatting the card but then I got the message "card error". I thought that the card was defective and I returned it for replacement to Amazon.com. In approximately 4-5 days I received my second SanDisk 128 MB Secure Digital Card. I repeated the same procedure of formatting, picture taking and so on but I was getting the same result and the error message. I was ready to send the card back again, but before I did I thought I'd check around the web to see if there is any compatibility issue of this card with my camera. I went on Toshiba web site to see if I can find any compatibility issue with this card. Sure enough when I checked for new Firmware it had this:
"Latest Firmware Upgrade Features:
Improved compatibility with SanDisk brand SD Cards manufactured after May 2002, specifically for high capacity SD Cards -
128MB SanDisk SD Cards
256MB SanDisk SD Cards
Upgrade your PDR-3300 for use with these cards."

I followed the instructions, upgraded my firmware to the latest revision 1.04A and now my camera recognizes the 128MB SanDisk SD Card and it is working great.

1.0 out of 5 stars Designed for Palm Handhelds..... NOT, July 24, 2002

By	"sean_c_young" (Allentown, PA United States) - See all my reviews

After visiting SanDisk's web site and checking their compatibility list I decided to buy the 128MB SD card for my Palm M505. According to SanDisk's site the card is compatible with the M505; the packaging even has the "Palm" logo on it with the words, "Designed for Palm Handhelds". Fact is that the 128Mb SD from SanDisk does NOT work in Palm devices. I sent support e-mail to both SanDisk and Palm. Palm pointed their finger at SanDisk and SanDisk never responded. I did some research on my own and found that the controller used in the 128MB SD card is not the same as other flavors of SanDisk SD cards, and is in fact NOT compatible with Palm Handhelds. Shame on SanDisk for not doing their homework and shame on Palm for letting SanDisk use their trademark without verifying that the product actually is "Designed for Palm Handhelds".

5.0 out of 5 stars How many pictures will it store?, November 5, 2004

By	Brent D. Payne "SEO Specialist" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDSDB-128-A10 Secure Digital 128MB, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.
