8GB micro SDHC - anyone tried one yet?

journey · #1 (**permalink**) 01-08-2008, 12:32 AM

Appears that a Sandisk 8Gb microSDHC can be obtain for under $100. Has anyone tried one? I currently have an A-data 4Gb but recently loaded my Yahoo ToGo files onto it, and could use some more space

I typically steer clear of Sandisk memory but was thinking about taking the leap.

The A-Data is a 'class 6' device versus the 'class 4' of the Sandisk. Do you know if that will make a difference in my VX6800?

Thx.

ya i have it and its all good for me 2 weeks running 6 "class" just means how fast the infomation is transfered from sd to device 6 class = 6 gig per sec 4 class = 4 gigs per sec

by the way i think 4 i plenty

Googled it last night and found it at DZ-Tech for $99.99: http://www.dz-tech.com/flash-memory-...FQGRPAodO2KhXw

I have not used them before though. There are a number of vendors, including DZ-Tech, selling them on ebay as well.

Wow, when did microSD get such a ginormous speed boost?

Heh...

I think helmi_c_wantbe meant 6MB/Sec, not 6GB. Sandisk says the 8gb card is Class 4. (4MB/Sec)

Sandisk is planning to launch the 16Gb microSDHC this year (June)... Let's save money for this... Source: http://gizmodo.com/341463/sandisks-n...gb-this-summer

The price for the 8gigger will fall, but not by much, not very fast...
but there is no indication that this 16gigger will be functional in our phones...or for that matter -any phones currently on the market.

I'm still waiting on my 8gb micro sd (from dz-tech) purchase made several days ago. They advertise hundreds of them on ebay, yet take so long to ship them out. At least there has been a couple confirmations that their cards are fully functional on our phones.
