What cards are safe from being fried by T3

[JOHNGAETANO]

I am in the market for a larger SD card, but obviously don't want to buy one that will fry. Which ones are safe?


Thanks

JOHN

nothing is absolutely safe
i heard lexar and panasonic ones that aren't rebranded and are made in japan were better

[JOHNGAETANO]

If I get one at Best Buy, will it be covered if it fries?

PNY cards are suppose to be by the store that sells it. I don't know if BB sells PNY though. When in doubt ask what the policy is. Don't volunteer any information nor even mention the T3!

Hagiwara Sys-Com's 512MB Secure Digital (SD) card is compact; it is about the size of a postage stamp. The SD card memory storage is based on the proven flash technology. The card is rugged and reliable, because it retains information without any power, and there is no moving parts to break down.

Current uses for SD cards include: PDAs (e.g. Palm m500 series), digital audio players, digital cameras, digital camcorders, digital recorders, Internet appliances, cellular phones, GPS, set-top boxes, and games.

Please also check our Adapter Page.

Hagiwara Sys-Com is proud of having the largest market share in flash memory card in Japan. (HCL)




Availability: Usually ships in 2-3 weeks.

HPC-SD512M$289.95

How Long have you been using this card? Have you tried any back ups....:eek:

Since day 1 with my T T|3 (purchased on 2/10), I never encounter any problem except on and off may fail to backup due to #@^ error which I believe is device issue

I have Panasonic 256 MB and 64 MB for my T3 for 3 weeks now. No problem so far. Speed for 256 MB is much faster than 64 MB though.

Go for Panasonic or Toshiba should be safe

And make sure they are Made in Japan. Use card info to confirm the manufacturer and not the printed label.

Thanks for the tips.

Get a panasonic and let 'er rip.

Hello, I just got a T3, and am planning to get a SD card (though not yet, I'd know better ;-P). Anyways, does a full 512 mb card run at a reasonable speed on the T3?

Just for the record:

My T3 caused serious trouble on both Panasonic and Toshiba cards as well. Problems did not show up at once, but all the more irritating when they occured.

Until now I know of no single card manufacturer whose SD cards are garuanteed to function safe with all T3s.

Concerning speed:
Using a 512Mb card should not depend on the Palm with which you use it: just use an USB2 card reader/writer for fast transport of bigger data packs (Mp3s, big documents, lexica etc.). This is *by* *far* faster and easier done than syncing them all with ultra-slow Palm sync-speed...

Using a Vigorioum card (rebranded PDC card - http://www.pdc.com) with the only problem occurs during AvantGo sync (syncing to card), and not every time (more 1 out of ten). A soft reset fixes that particular problem. BackupBussyVFS, Hotsyncing large files, and moving files using FileMan - no problem at all.

And I blame the AvantGo client for my problems, not the Palm. But I hold my breath every time.
