Re: [Gumstix-users] Anyone successfully using ADATA micro SD cards?

[Bob C. <bco...@ve...>]

Steve,

I'm not using Adata cards. I have 3 Transcend brand, 8 Gb class 6 
microSDHC cards in my collection. I bought them simply because they are 
available on Amazon.com and were cheap. I do have a problem with them. I 
bought these cards in bundled packages, each came with an SD-sized 
adapter card that also has the Transcend logo on them. But when you try 
to put the microSDHC card into it's corresponding adapter, you can't get 
it installed properly -- it stops half way into the adapter. An 
Amazon.com reviewer showed a picture of the Transcend adapter and ruined 
microSDHC card that he ended up with when he tried to force the card 
into the adapter.

What I do is use a PNY-branded adapter. Seems to work just fine.

One really great thing to note about buying from Amazon is they offer 
the choice of "frustration-free packaging" in some cases. No clamshell 
packaging! This is great for an older guy like me who doesn't have 
fingers of steel or the patience for a 10 minute struggle with a 
clamshell package. I got a nice easy to open cardboard envelope package 
for the Transcend cards.

Thanks

Bob Cochran
