Accessories / A hard lesson about Sandisk SD cards

« on: September 01, 2004, 09:50:04 pm »

I had this exact same problem with a SD card from Sandisk (corruption). I fortunately found the problem within literally 24 hours of purchasing and was able to return it to the store for a different brand (Panasonic--which has worked flawlessly).

That may very well be true mjalkut. It's possible that the Zaurus and Sandisk SD cards just don't get along well--it could be a Zaurus problem or it could be a Sandisk SD problem. Either way, it's obviously risky to get a Sandisk SD card for use with a Zaurus.

Also, I was bashing Sandisk SD in my previous posts so I must point out that I have owned a Sandisk CF card for months now and have had 0 problems. It's just their SD cards that I've had bad experiences with.

I got the Panasonic 256MB SD card from Amazon as mentioned in previous post and it's been working flawlessly. No problems yet unlike the POS Sandisk SD card I owned earlier.

n8a, please post the versions you used. I installed mplayer and the MPlayerShell from the ZUG feed ( http://www.zaurususergroup.com/feed/ ) and installed it on my Cacko ROM but MPlayerShell never would launch (mplayer from command line worked though).

Wow. I wish I had read this thread before I purchased a Sandisk 256MB SD card last week.

Within literally 2 days after I\'d bought the card, I was getting file system errors in the Zaurus. I took that Piece of S**t back to Best Buy and am currently awaiting my Panasonic 256MB to arrive from Amazon (I had a 16MB Panasonic SD card that I had gotten free that\'s been working well in the Zaurus for over a year so I decided to go the Panasonic route again).

Lesson learned: Don\'t buy Sandisk SD Cards. (I\'m sure there are a few who don\'t have problems but from reading this thread and in my own experience, Sandisk quality sucks).
