Dabs.com are currently offering a 512 Meg PNY SD card for £54 including VAT.

Has anyone had any experience of cards from PNY - are there any issues like the Sandisk ones?

Are there any better offers currently around? I'm off to Japan tomorrow, so will look there as well, but in the past, they have been cheeper in Europe!.

Steve.

I have been told that as a general rule SD cards made in Japan are OK but Chinese made ones are a bit hit and miss.
I just bought a 256mb Fuji for £30 in delivery from www.ebuyer.com - you might want to spend a bit more and play it safe with 2 Fuji cards instead of your single 512MB card

I have a 128 for my maps + postcode, and I bought two 512MB cards for movies etc (thinking of copying maps etc, plus backup space, plus one movie)

But sometimes they seem to just corrupt and lose all files. I was wondering if this was anything to do with omega-ones battery bar, which has different settings for memory cards, perhaps forcing it to think it was 128. I've since stopped batterybar from reporting any memory card information and so far things are OK.

they were jessops 512 cards, made in Japan by the way.

I already have a Japanese made Initial 512 Meg card with Tomtom v3 and maps on it and have had no problems. The PNY one was just for MP3's while travelling.

In my experience, I bought a Panasonic 256 MB SD card at Fry's in California for about $80. Works great and copies back and forth to my desktop 200 MBs in about 10 to 70 seconds, or so. I didn't time it exactly, because I then bought a second PNY SD card 256 MB for about $30 after rebate. A good price, but it took about 7 to 10 minutes to copy the exact same 200 MBs from the desktop to the sd card via the card reader. The card seemed to work ok in my Mitac Mio 168, even with gps and Windows Media Player playing mp3s both at the same time. I think I could sense some real world delays with the slower PNY card, but this could have been a result of my expectations. I returned the card and am saving up to buy a 512 card and repeat the speed tests. Hard to believe there is that much speed difference between sd cards, but that was clearly the case with my two cards. For what its worth! :P
