What is SDHC?
To support the higher capacity needs, SD cards are now requiring a different design. The new SD 2.0 specifications which supports 4GB and up, is called Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC). The SD Association has created and defined 3 speed classes to help you identify speed and performance capabilities/minimum requirements of SDHC cards and their SDHC host products.
Cards address data (read and write) at numerous speeds. Many factors impede this performance. SDHC guarantees a minimum read and write speed necessary to handle recording high quality video and audio. The maximum card speed may vary, but you can always depend on SDHC cards to meet your SDHC host product’s high quality performance requirements.
SDHC Compatibility Information
Because SDHC works differently (supports the new higher capacity cards) this new card format is not backwards compatible with legacy SD format host devices.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great for shooting RAW!
I am using this card for RAW+JPEG shooting and HD video with the Nikon D90. Plenty of capacity and plenty fast. I have always used genuine SanDisk products (CF, SD and MicroSD) and have never had a single issue with any one of them. Great card at a great price, I’m happy.
1 Star Original picture is misleading, shows SD card reader included with SD card
When I bought this item the SD card was pictured with an SD card reader. Also some reviews suggested that previously this item was sold with the card reader. When the package arrived there was only the SD card. After further inquiries I realized that nowhere does it say that the card reader is sold with this item. Hopefully the misleading picture and misleading reviews will be removed so others do not fall into the same trap. Somewhat disappointed with Amazon as usually I have been very satisfied with the products I have purchased online from them. By the way the card works fine, but I had to go and buy a separate card reader, which was the main reason for choosing this item for purchase.
2 Stars no la reconocen todos los lectores
me pareci? una buena idea poner 8gb de memoria en mi nikon para tomar fotos… en la camara funciona de maravilla, el problema es que no he conseguido ningun lector de tarjetas que haga menos engorroso el tramite de pasar todas las fotos y videos desde la tarjeta sin tener que usar el cable de sincronizacion de la camara, los lectores externos simplemente no la reconocen, ni siquiera el lector de la ultima HP DV5 lo hace, fui a un almacen y me dijeron que si queria grabar directamente archivos en la tarjeta tenia que comprarme otro lector aparte del que siempre he tenido (un lector multitarjetas lexar jumpdrive que siempre me ha resultado fantastico) asi que ahora tengo que hacer un gasto doble… perdio 3 estrellas…
5 Stars Very helpful device
This product it’s just amazing, very fast to access and to save the info. on it.
3 Stars Great card but lousy reader!
My new Canon G10 uses the new SDHC cards as well as the older SD cards, so in October 2008 I purchased 2 of these cards (8 GB Ultra II SanDisk) with the readers from Amazon. The cards arrived without any readers. I purchased 2 “SanDisk Micromate Reader for SD and SDHC memory cards” from Amazon separately.
When I put the cards into the readers and put the readers into my computer USB port I got a message “This is not a high speed device” and a warning that it would only transfer data at USB 1.0 speed, about 20 minutes for the 20 or so photos on the card. I also got no recognition of the reader&card in the USB ports on the front of my computer, only the ones in the back.
I tried the SanDisk website, no help. I googled and learned that a computer virus could cause my Dell with all USB 2.0 ports to not recognize devices plugged in, so I scanned for viruses. None found. Google also said that drivers could be a problem so I checked the Dell site, no help.
After days of problems and no successes I decided to try another brand and bought a “Blue Proton” SDHC USB2.0 reader which works perfectly! In every one of the USB ports on my Dell!
The SanDisk Ultra II 8 GB cards work perfectly in my G10 but the SanDisk readers are junk and I feel stupid for spending days trying to get them to work. All my Compact Flash and SD and SDHC memory cards and all my card readers are from SanDisk and all have worked perfectly until this. I think I will try a different brand next time.
