Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader) Reviews

• No more swapping cards

  It's nice to have 4GB in your camera and be able to take pictures at max resolution and not have to worry about running out of space. I've been using SanDisk cards for 6 years now and never had a single problem. Be warned however, if you have a somewhat older digital camera, it may not recognize a card of this size and the card will be useless. I don't know why they don't mention this in the product spec, hence the 4 stars. Check your camera's user manual for max memory capabilities, if any.
  
  

• Beware

  
  By AVNHW3DMK8WM6 on 2008-03-08
  This is a must for loading music to listen to on my Palm TX. But BEWARE of eek Technoligies and buying at this price. They wanted $13.20 for shipping a 2 oz memory card? Buy from someone else even if it is a few dollars more and pay reasonable shipping rates. Don't be fooled by their cheap price they make it up 2x in shippoing charges. When I saw it I cancelled my order..
  
  

• Huge memory, get this one

  
  By A1SXJ6YW9R32MO on 2007-10-20
  I just bought the Canon PowerShot SD1000 and coupled it with this sandisk
  memory card. Huge memory....4gb. You can shoot high def 30 minute movies
  with the camera. Loads in two seconds, usb out in ten seconds. This is very cheap compared to what memory used to cost.
  
  

• becareful of this card

  Please be careful if you decide on this card; I have had 3 of them go bad on me. After I took pictures and tried to review them, a big question mark came up on my camera screen.
  
  

• Works fine

  
  By A1OM7HQIQD29UR on 2007-10-29
  Bought for a new camera and works fine. Many older SD card units won't handle 4GB and larger cards so make sure that yours will. If you are buying this for a PC there are USB adapters for these larger cards.
  
  
• Make sure you can read it.
  By A21D6O48W0DV7Z on 2007-12-24
  Standard SD and SDHC cards look identical in size and shape, only SDHC-compatible products will be able to accept the new SDHC cards. SanDisk differentiates its new cards with the new SDHC logo on the card and retail package.
  
  Now my web research finds that at the time of its release Wes Brewer, vice president of consumer product marketing at SanDisk, said, "In order to provide the easiest and most compatible solution for 4GB and larger capacity SDHC cards in the market, SanDisk chose to bundle its new MicroMate USB 2.0 SD/SDHC compatible card reader, which normally retails for $19.99, with this new card."
  
  Note this deal does not include a reader.
  
  In my case the device I bought it for can read it. Without the dedicated reader my year old HP computer cannot .
  
  
• expensive SHIPPING!
  By A2JLHR4F0WGYDM on 2008-03-23
  I played around with the prices on this and found out several things. If I order this item, $11 in shipping costs is added by the third party supplier! If I get the 2G version, even two of them, those qualify for free shipping from Amazon and come out much cheaper. So check your prices on these before ordering. My hunch is that you can probably pick this 4G up cheaper at your local electronics/computer store...

  Good product, lots of storage for pictures or whatever info you want to store on this card.
  
  
• Product fine, vendor misleading practices
  By A3FV8UWW0KVI82 on 2008-05-18
  I have no complaints about this product, but I refuse to buy it from any vendor (in this case ChiTek, but apparently there are others) who advertise a low price but then charge your 3X what they should for shipping. I tried to order $10 worth of memory cards, and after filling out all the necessary ordering information, I'm informed on the last page that they were charging $19.95 shipping for about 3 ounces of product. The final price was typical, but I'd much rather buy it direct from Amazon or another vendor that does not follow these arguably sleazy practices. I hope you do to. Be aware.
  
  
• Love it!
  By A31IPJA5MI4R4K on 2008-05-07
  I love it, it works as promised, and holds well over 30 minutes of video. Pops in and out of camera easily. It's a great product and worth the extra money over the 2.0 GB one.
  
  Two thumbs up!
  
  
• Beware of Junk
  By A1OPS8Q346ZPRV on 2008-06-26
  I purchased two of these 4 GB Scan Disk thinking I could use them in my Nikon D80 and they work fine in the Camera except my New Dell 2008 desktop and Dell 2007 laptop will not read them. I am of the option that Dell has major technical problems with their third world country machines and tech support anyway. I took 4GB to the local Wal Mart and they claim that they plan to upgrade their readers in the near future to read the 4 GB. It says in the advertisement : Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader) Im not sure what that last part means No Reader I suppose it means it you can't read them. At this time I have over $40.00 in unreadable junk.
  
  
• THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR JOB SO WELL!
  By A1FDV3WPOHREY9 on 2008-05-21
  I use this SD card in my NIKON D40 and can take hundreds of shots, even at their uncompressed levels, no problem. This card puts up with all kinds of abuse, and repeated dowloads through all kinds of readers (SD HC of course) with no trouble. REliable, clean, fast, easy; couldn't be better.
  
  I remember the horrors of film, and development by hand under harsh circumstances. It was truly an art and a science back then, but wow am I glad for this SD card. Takes the worry and care out of taking great pictures.
  
  No problem at a great price. DO you know how many boxes of film rolls it would take to get this many pictures?!
  
  Great at what it does, and does it well. Let us give thanks, and take pictures! Shoot a roll; keep a shot! Be happy!
  
  
• Bad experience
  By A3A0FF0J071225 on 2008-03-18
  I tried viewing this SD card on my PC and each time it will hang my PC and I will have to restart. I dont know how else to read this card...am confused. The pics in this card are stuck. Please be careful when buying!
  
  
• Never been disappointed
  By ADGGIHR21QWR4 on 2008-03-27
  I've bought a bunch of these. Always worked well. Don't know about the 8mb cards, but the 4mb cards are a dream.
  
  
• Great
  By A2WX0S0VRI346S on 2008-04-03
  This is a great addition to a digital camera if you shoot video clips.
  Just make sure that the digital camera supports SD cards over 2Gb. You can usually be confident it will work if the device is labeled SD HC compliant (SD HC is the 4-32Gb standard). It may work in other devices (my Kodak camera is not labeled for SD HC but the card works.)
  
  
• unhappy
  By A2HG07N6I1AS8C on 2008-04-21
  would not work and did not return my contact about product until a week later. then they just sent a return policy recommendation which did not help because i no longer had the package it was sent in.
  
  
• Card Was Used (bought from JoWoW)
  By A2MEDDSDQ5UIXC on 2008-02-10
  I must admit the fast shipping of this product was awesome, however when I opened the product, it was clearly used as the pins on the card had scratches on them and the label on the card was scratched. I read the item description again and I can't seem to find the word "used" anywhere.
  
  
• Lifesaver
  By A2SXQR2HS1XB1T on 2008-04-02
  This memory card is truly a lifesaver. Spending long hours out doing the tourist thing is much easier when you don't have to worry your camera will run out of memory. No formatting needed, just load and go.
  
  
• Space for plenty of pictures
  By A38Q2B3VJ8PYK7 on 2008-06-25
  I got this memory card with my camera order and it's great, I mean there's no need for another memory card (especially if you're just taking pictures).
  The writing speed is fast and 4 gigs is plenty of space for the price I paid for this...
  
  
• Hmmmm
  By A2111HL5XBL12X on 2008-07-10
  No reader probably means no manual + box.
  
  Looks like a counterfeit, made in china. The colour is off compared to the 4gb product on sandisk website.
  
  2 very obvious scratches on the back.
  
  Works well on camera and Dell XPS laptop so far.
  
  Oh well...it's pretty damn cheap.
  
  
• lots of pictures and videos
  By A3JX343RNREI8C on 2008-02-10
  it is really fast and allows a lot of HQ pictures and videos... I put it into my new Canon SX100 IS and it works great... and then pluggin the camera to the PC via USB, the pictures and videos go to my hard drive really fast.
  
  
• Great product!
  By A11LTW0QD7NMPR on 2008-05-21
  I got this for my Vivitar Digital Video Recorder. It worked perfectly and immediately. I would highly recommend it.
  
  
• This is a terrific product
  By AVWCA086DHHOD on 2008-05-24
  I purchased this for my Garmin Nuvi 660. It worked instantly! I wanted to download books from Audible and to-date I have 14 novels stored on the card with about 40% of the space still available. This card works flawlessly and I am ordering another card to increase my stoage capability.
  
  
• Great SD Memory Card
  By A3SUCKNMAMZWWX on 2008-06-06
  This is a terrific SD memory card. SanDisk is probably the premier memory card manufacturer, and this is another fine example of why they are the best.
  
  
• Worth the Money!
  By AET0FTIVUTPWO on 2008-06-18
  I now have 4 kids and one big family. So I don't always have the time to load pictures into our computer. So when I found the 4.0 GB memory Card I could not pass it up. I size was right and so was the price.
  
  
• Would Help If I Could Unlock It
  By A21KWI4Y0R7O50 on 2008-06-18
  I bought several of these memory cards because I consider Sandisk to be the "gold standard" for SD cards. Unfortunately all my cards were locked - I can use them on a computer, but not in a camera. I understand there's a switch on the card that locks it but it was in the unlocked position. I tried formatting them in my camera and on my computer. No luck. I didn't discover this until I was in Europe ready to take pictures on a recent vacation. Beware!
  
  
• Advanced Technology!
  By A31D2927XYAKF5 on 2008-01-05
  Compact storage. Too much information to analyze. So I dragged and dropped whats important. And got rid of the trash. But I'm glad I got it and leanred a lot about it. I have a San Disk reader anyone interested?! The RAM Is worth a lot!
  
  
• 4.0 GB card
  By A2VH0UT5EQFB6P on 2008-02-08
  An absolute must if you are a musician wanting to record yourself, or others and would have to take many tries to get the final product - a perfect piece. I am a classical guitarist and am recording myself playing several different pieces. If I didn't have a card which held a lot of data, I would be struggling to get a piece perfected before the card filled up. This card can hold plenty of re-takes, and more re-takes, and even more until you finally get it juuuuuuuust right!
  
  
• 4.0 GB SanDisk
  By A1ZTLDDQ4EP8HZ on 2007-09-27
  I can't believe how much memory this has. It holds more than I thought. I don't think it will ever get full.
  
  
• Great deal for the price
  By A1IFKBKJOKDZKU on 2008-03-07
  I bought this for a digital camcorder, works great have had no problems.
  also very useful for transferring data between computers.
