Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card (SDSDH-4096, BULK Static Pack, No Reader) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome
Comment: I bought these and they work perfect with my Nikon D80. I have never formatted them once and they work fine. I know photographers format all cards all the time before shoots, but I never have once and these are still going good. Never had one problem with them at all.

Summary: Lightning Fast
Comment: I bought this card for my G9 and I am very impressed by what this little card can do.

The only other card I've used is the 8GB Extreme III, so I can't really say how much faster it is from other types, but I love the amount of storage and I found that burst mode was very effective with this card.

Summary: Another SD format and one of the fastest
Comment: SanDisk has so many versions out there, it is kind of confusing. This is a different Ultra II then the 2GB that were sold last year. This 4GB Ultra II is "SDHC" (Secure Digital High Capacity), which the 2GB was just an SD card. Regular SC cards are more compatible with most digital cameras and memory card readers. "SDHC" card are for the latest cameras and most DSLR, which can be read/write on SDHC card reader only or just the latest card reader.

Compatibility:
This does work fine with my DSLR Nikon D40. I could not get this new SDHC card to read on my 6 month old card Sony's Card reader nor my 2.5 years old Canon PowerShot SD400. But if you use the USB SDHC reader it worked fine and faster.

Performance
Maybe I got an OEM version, but it said it is a class 4 and 15mb/s. I ignore whatever speed SanDisk write, since I never get that performance. My old 2GB Ultra II said 10mb read/9mb write, but I only got like 6.5mb read/ 5mb write. This 4GB said 15mb, but I only get an average of 8mb read (copy) it peaked at 9mb once and is 6-7mb write. A class 4 has minimum of 4mb of write speed, which is true, this is more in line with a class 6. These information is shown on Window's Vista detail pop-up screen when you are copying or writing files.

Overall it is a great price and is one of the fastest performance I got from an SD card. I just had to upgrade for a SDHC card reader.

Summary: love it
Comment: This memory card is great. It holds thousands and thousands of pictures on high quality settings which is great for me so I don't have to keep uploading pictures every few hours.

Summary: Not a genuine ULTRA II Sandisk card
Comment: Have been using this card for two months, it works well, no errors, no lost files, etc.

However, the advertised speed for SD Ultra II series is around 10MB/s reading and 9MB/s writing. This card does not go over 2.85 MB/s in either case. Additionally, it doesn't look like SD Ultra II 4GB shown on Sandisk.com.

At this price, I guess it is not a bad deal, however, it is as slow as my old 2GB No-name SD card.
