Advantages: Cheap, good storage, very reliable

Disadvantages: I personally cant get it to function diriectly with my laptops, have to use the camera or usb stick

I use this card in my Casio Exilim camera and have tried it on two laptops. Of course the camera and laptop ahrdware will have a lot to do with it as well so this review and any other review you read will be biased. These are just MY experiences with the card.

For storing photographs:

Very reliable as expected from any SD card. It hasn't lost any data to date after two years of use and is ample storage for the amount of photos I take. At 7.1 mega pixels it holds over 700 photos and some short video clips. Read speeds are instantaneous on my camera, write speed is noticeable but ok for the casual user

For storing videos:

Likewise for photos I have found this SD card to be very reliable, I'm not sure how much video footage it can hold as I don't tend to take many video recordings. Again read speeds are instantaneous but write speed is noticeable (by write speed I mean there is a short loading screen once you have finished recording).

Data files from computer:

Once again no problems and read/ write speeds for small files and music Is quick. You would have to be fairly impatient to got frustrated by it. However read my next point.

Functionality:

This may be due to some sort of formatting done by my camera (I have never used any other card in it), but I can't get this SD card to work directly with any of my computers that have built in card readers (3 of them) it only seems to work if I use one of those usb sticks that I put the SD card in which cost a few pence on ebay.

Summary: Good reliable piece of memory
