It seems that many card readers do not recognize the 8GB MicroSDHC cards. Even my relatively new Sony MRW62E 17-in-1 reader seems to have failed. My SanDisk MobileMate SD+ failed as well. It was a slightly older model SDDR-103 that was supposed to read these things. After trying several different readers I picked up another SanDisk MobileMate SD+, this one an SDDR-104 and it is working fine so far. Copied all my files over without any apparent issues.
In response to your request, I decided to pile as close to 8gb onto it as possible to see how well it faired. So I put 13 full-length movies (classic universal horror flix in DivX) as well as my entire TomTom Map collection (USA & Canada) onto it. That combined with my original 2gb card contents put me right at about 7.57GB.
It seems to be working flawlessly!
I thought I would add a little about DZ-Tech. It was a week after I made the purchase before it shipped, and then it took another few days due to the 1st class postage. All said and done it was 10 days before it arrived. The final cost was about $87.00 shipped, so I think it is a good deal considering the newness of this card. On a side note, it arrived in only the usual plastic protective case with SD adapter, no retail (or even OEM) packaging at all. That worried me at first, but it seems fine to me now.
Hope that helps.
