SanDisk 2GB SD Memory Card (SDSDB-2048, Bulk Package)

Shipping time and price were both great. The card plus shipping was less than $12. For a 2Gb card that is super. For those of you who think shipping is too high, simply place the item in your cart you don't have to purchase the item if you still think shipping is too high. Shop your item around for the best buy including shipping. I have had nothing but good experiences with Amazon.

Bough this to use with a Nikon CoolPics. It works well, just like every other sandisk card that I've purchased. As much as prices have come down it makes no sense to go generic when you can get a trusted name for a couple bucks more.

I bought this card for my digital camera about two years ago. I have never had a problem with it. Later I bought one for my mother in law, and she had no idea how inexpensive it was for me. So I earned some serious points.

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST:
On the HP Pavilion dv4000, with Windows XP SP2, with a built in multicard reader, I have found that the BlueProton USB SanDisk SD card reader offered [...] *does* make the card *readable* by the HP XP SP2.

So apparently, the SanDisk 2GB card hardware design sold, is not hardware compatible with the *multicard* reader that is built into the HP, and that this new BlueProton USB SanDisk-SD-flash-format only card reader makes it completely readable. I also tried my USB 51 in one multicard reader with the SanDisk SD 2GB cards on the HP XP SP2, and it also makes the card readable by the HP. So the HP XP SP2 has no problems accessing a 2GB SD card format, but that the bulk SanDisk card itself is not backward hardware compatible, or it is simply incompatible, with one versions of multicard reader, or that the HP Pavilion dv4000's multicard reader is not 100% compatible with all SD format flash.

I cannot diagnose which hardware issue is the problem, in the SD design, in the SD reader, or a mix of both. As some users have commented there's incompatabilities, it is good to have another 10-20 buck card reader, or buy one SD flash before buying bulk, to assure compatibility between the two hardware systems of SD flash and SD reader you may own.

I would rate the unit 2 stars, but don't know how to upgrade the rating, just the post.

I recently bought four 2GB SanDisk cards. They cannot be properly formatted in the built in SD card reader, on the HP Pavilion XP SP2. When they are "formatted" as FAT only on the HP XP SP2, they act like they can receive files from the HP, but when you go back to examine them, the files do not read back. When the cards are used in a digital camera to take pictures, and the card is put in the HP XP SP2 SD card reader, no files or folders are visible at all.

I have to work around all of this by exclusively using USB to download the files from the camera to the HP, versus simply plugging the card into the HP. Plus, the card is useless, with the HP, by itself.

A definitely incompatible SanDisk product, with a standard HP Pavilion XP SP2 with built in SD/multi card reader slot. Useable enough with a digital camera, through USB exclusively, as you cannot swap the card into the HP.

It is the second time I bought a Sandisc memory card. I had no problems at all and was very cheap.
