1GB SD card £58 Aria.co.uk
« on: October 20, 2004, 04:31:00 am »
Has anyone tried this 1GB SD card? Assume the (Kingston) 512 MB OK? But 1GB is Aria own brand.
SD card

I need to use it in ext2 format.

That looks like a sandisk to me, except with the word sandisk removed.

Now you mention it, it does look like a rebadged version of a SanDisk. Oh dear. Looks like I'm going for the Kingston 512 Mb SD disk instead. Thanks. To be fair, the site does allow for customer feedback and queries. So I enquired if it would survive a linux rather than a Fat format. But they didn't know.

Edit: Oh heck! Looks like the Kingstons have gone!

Well, will keep watching the link that started this post.

Kingston SD cards are crap. I sent back mine for service. I'll buy a Panasonic one instead!

Well, I've had a 256MB Kingston SD (ext2) in my Zaurus for a year now and no problems whatsoever.  I'm looking to buy a 1GB SD card and if Kingston had a 1GB model, I'd go for it immediately.
