Doesn't work with Marantz
I have a Marantz CD recorder DR 6000. A previous generation of Memorex Music CD-R worked fine (White with purple lettering and blue recording surface) This new generation will not be read by this recorder. The recorder could not initialize and gave an disc error with several I tried.It Worked fine with some new SONY CDRs.

Will not record
I finished up my last batch of these discs bought some time ago, without a problem. BUT the next batch purchased most recently will not record on my Philips CDR 765. There are too many different types of media discs and not labeled properly. Should be an industry standard that the consumer can readily see that they can use them. Not sure what to get now or if another brand will work properly.

Extremely Disappointed
It appears these music CD-Rs do not work on most home CD players.I can only get them to work in my computer and in my car CD player (and that doesn't play back as great a quality as I'd like).I thought these would work since I had previously bought JVC Audio CD-Rs which are awesome.I won't bother with these again and unfortunately, I bought two spindles!

Awesome Playbility
I have tried a handful of different CD-R's in the past few years, and these have the best quality. Memorex did a great job with these black CD-Rs.

The black colour on them looks great, as well.

I use these to burn audio cds, and every track sounds as crisp and clear as on the original cd. Another advantage to these are that you can see dust on them perfectly, so they are easier to maintain. There are absolutely no problems I have encountered with these cds, I highly recommend them.

Try the 10-Pack..
I wanted to try this Memorex CD-R, 80 Minute in the 10-pk box before committing to a 50-Pk spindle. I've had nothing but good luck with these CD-R's. (Not a coaster in the bunch!!)
If you aren't sure about getting that 50-pk spindle, go on and order the 10-Pack.Give them a try and(if you are as satisfied as I am with their performance) order that 50-pk spindle..you won't be disappointed!! ... Read more

How many pictures will it store?
How many pictures will it store?It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about.Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Lexar Media 128MB Memory Stick, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera.These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Woks Great!!!
I had slight confusion whether to choose the sony 64 MB memory stick, which is nearly the same price or this one, which has twice the memory capacity of the previous one. I choose this one for the better deal and to add to my surprise J&R Electronics shipped it so quickly(You guys Rock!!!). This one comes par with sony memory media in every field. So why choose the one with lesser memory capacity. Choose this one and feed your camera with some memory space!

Ninguna diferencia.
Quiero resaltar un hecho importante. No hay ninguna diferencia con las SONY. Poseo ambas, la sony de 128MB y la Lexar de 128MB (la cual adquirí a mitad de precio en una oferta de amazon) y no existe ninguna diferencia de funcionamiento entre ambas. Sin embargo creo que la diferencia de precios entre la sony original y la lexar no es significativa ($3 o $4) por lo que yo me voy por la sony. Espero sea de ayuda. (En español es mejor!!).

A+ for product, F for rebate
I've been using Lexar sticks for over a year with
a Sony digital camera. I've never had a problem with
a stick going bad, nor have I ever lost a single photo.

Although I crossed my t's and dotted my i's and sent
the rebate form in weeks before the 'must be received
by' date, the envelope was returned unopened, stamped
PROGRAM CLOSED. Not nice.

Buy it if the price is right
I mean the selling price...forget about the rebate from Lexar.I will get mine when pigs fly.

I haven't seen any compatible issue between Lexar/Sandisk and Sony brands.Now there is a new format called Memory Stick Pro that are compatible with the old format.Other than this, I can't figure out how it could be incompatible among brands. ... Read more

128 megs, quite enough
This media card was just the thing I was looking for. I have a Rio One mp3 player with only 32 megs onboard and with this media card I expanded it to 160 megs, that's about 160 minutes of near cd quality music. So, I'm very satisfied with it. ... Read more

you will be able to play some great stuff
eMedia intermediate guitar method is an excellent system to expand on your beginner skills. I have now been playing guitar for four months and have gotten better than some of my friends that have been playing for over a year. I finished the CD so I am lending it out now to these same friends.

I started out with the eMedia beginner guitar method and soon after bought this CD. I had attempted to play guitar for perhaps two days before this present time. From this series, I am now comfortable with chords, barre chords, bass walks, finger picking (arpeggios and travis style), hammer-ons, pull-offs, trills, and reading notes. The method has gotten me excited to buy my first electric guitar, practice bends, and learn more about lead guitar playing.

The stuff you learn to play on this CD simply sounds cool. There is a sweet Grateful Dead tune, All Along the Watch Tower, several classic rock pieces, an excellent 12-bar blues solo, there is some country/bluegrass, a few classic guitar pieces (Bach, Pachelbel), and an amazing Jimi Hendrix solo for All Along the Watch Tower. All the songs are recorded from a live guitar player so you will know how each song will sound. When I first browsed through the CD, I thought to myself "There is no way I will be able to sound like that". And yet after much practicing, I got through the CD, can play all the pieces well, and am so happy that I am now a decent guitar player.

I continue to be excited to learn. I think the Fretboard Logic series will help me develop a better understanding of the fretboard and build up my lead guitaring skills.

I wanted to add this review to show that this system is still a great way to learn. I am thankful to eMedia for putting out a product that is showing me that it is never to late to learn to play guitar. To add to the pluses as detailed elsewhere: many great pieces that you will be excited to learn, both standard and tablature notation so that you can learn both methods of reading, etc. The minuses: does not cover fretboard/CAGED organization.

awesome way to learn more advanced guitaring
After completing the first volume, I was nothing but impressed with the emedia material.I'd conquered campfire chords!Now is where the cool stuff starts, Volume 2, and it too is excellent.The great thing about Emedia's approach is how it breaks down the teaching of a new technique.After explaining and demoing the technique a short, usually interesting (but not always), song is presented that exactly covers that technique being taught.It avoids the pitfall of other guitar teaching material, which is use some ultra-mind-numbing, hardly melodic bit to practice the execution of the technique.The well paced introduction and progression of technique building really suits me well.My only concern is that I'm potentially developing bad habits, this is where a good teacher is a must.The chord and scale directories are great, but it would've been nice if the scale directory took better advantage of the guitar's range.I find I use the metronome quite often too.Good stuff!

Teacher-in-a-box
I wasn't sure how this would work out, but at the price, the eMedia Guitar method offered a lot more than the books and CD's or DVD's in the local music store.

Features I really like:

Animated Fretboard diagram: How to place your fingers for chords and notes.

Chord Dictionary: Important for playing music--chords are the basis.

Metronome: Nice to have, I find metronomes annoying but they do bring your speed up as you practice.

Guitars and Their Parts: and what might be wrong with your.

Reading Chord Charts, Tablature, Notation: It's important to know how to read a chord chart, but musical notation, the backbone of all music, is not ignored. I think one should read music, so if you don't, you are encouraged to learn here.

The lessons for chords start small--one finger (like a G7), two fingers, three, and up to the tough ones with four or barred. This is rather how I learned because I learned guitar by first playing a ukelele! (The tuning of the last four strings is the same on a guitar and uke.)You are a lot less likely to suffer frustration and sore fingers if you can play a tune or two with a two-finger chord. You just don't strum the entire set of strings at first.

The strumming techniques include good video of the up and down method of the blues, and there is a section on blues guitar style, of which I was most interested.

For the money, hardly a risk. Find a good starter guitar and give it a try.

John NemerovskiSoftware Review
I have been playing and teaching beginner and intermediate level guitar for over 40 years. Learning this instrument is easy for most people who practice regularly.

Music students pay $-$$ per guitar lesson, and a lot of that money covers instruction and repetition that self-starters and motivated self-learners don't need to spend. At under $$ US for comprehensive instructional and reference material, eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method provides exceptional value for these students.

I remember being lukewarm to positive in my appraisal of Volume One, the beginner CD in this series. It has been revised since then. If it's as good as this Intermediate CD (Volume Two), beginners now have a much better chance of learning from scratch.

From my first encounter with eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method (abbreviated as "IGM"), the experience has consistently been positive. Installation of the cross-platform CD's software takes only a minute or two. Initial 23 pages of sensible, thorough Introduction and Tips cover all necessary instructions, commands, and options, including well-written and illustrated:

Animated Fretboard diagram

explanation of the Chord Dictionary and Metronome

description of Guitars and Their Parts, including holding, stringing, and tuning

details on Reading Chord Charts, plus Tablature and Music Notation.

Once students are "Ready to Take It to the Next Level" the lessons begin with straightforward left-hand melody techniques. Subsequent topics include barre chords, right hand strumming styles, "Using Scales and Building Chords," plus solo and fingerstyle methodology.

One set of icons on the page of each song or exercise takes you directly to spoken short descriptions of a song's history, or pithy comments such as "Use a pick so your fingers don't fall off." A different icon launches the Animated Fretboard's display, playing the song or exercise while fret numbers display simultaneously with a running presentation of the notation or tablature for the piece. Very impressive, all of it, and not nearly as complicated as it appears from reading the above paragraph.

Navigational arrows lower right easily take you forward or back one page, and the Tools and Goto menus at top offers complete navigation throughout the entire application, including:

Scale Directory and audio enhanced Chord Dictionary (REALLY GOOD!)

Tuner and Metronome

Self-recording feature.

Additional observations:

1. Set your screen resolution to one higher than 800x600 for best viewing.

2. The IGM's CD responds quickly and quietly when playing its instructional QuickTime sound and picture files.

3. A special icon launches short QuickTime movies in which a very competent guitarist demonstrates the techniques0 with close-up camera on the active hand.

4. Colored live embedded links take you directly to related chapters, if desired. (Is there a way to jump right back? I can't figure that out.)

5. Special mentions of differences between electric guitars and acoustic instruments are given, when appropriate.

Instruction is segmented logically, with high-quality attention to detail. I plan to begin using the IGM software, movies, and sound files immediately with my students. Its cost is a bargain for the reference features alone.

If you know your way around the guitar and want to "Take It to the Next Level," IGM is easy to recommend. When all your prior instruction has come from a human teacher, the comprehension curve for this multimedia application will seem steep at first. Remember that repetition is your friend, music students. Take your time, practice a lot, and you'll be glad you purchased eMedia Intermediate Guitar Method.

Great approach to lead guitar!
When you think of guitar heroes you think of their lead guitar prowess. This awesome guitar CD-ROM does an amazing job of teaching lead guitar through a ton of scales, techniques and licks. After each scale, you'll get some lick or song to practice with. There are even some fully transcribed solos by Hendrix and Clapton. The coolest thing about Emedia is their animated guitar neck that plays all the songs. It shows bend and lets you slow the songs down. There is also a lot on rhythm guitar techniques. ... Read more

I've tried it all...
...and this is the best media I have come across at the 16x speed.I have tried it on three brands of burners with only 1 failure out of 50 tries (and that one was likely as much my system's fault than the disk's fault).The three DVD Burners brands that I have used are Lite-on, Rosewill, and MicroAdvantage.They ARE buggy on certain Pioneer Burners, so you may want to avoid them if you are using a Pioneer.

With regard to high failure rates, before giving up, be sure to update the latest firmware on your burner, turn off any programs running during the burning stage, and make sure your power supply is sufficient (which can cause errors at higher speeds or the outside of the disk).If that doesn't work, you may want to try different software; when I did, my cheap DVD's went from jumping around to solid as a rock.If you still have high failure rates, it could be defective and subject to warranty.Otherwise, you may just have to stay away.

But, in my opinion, these are the most reliably produced disks out there, with Ridata coming in a close second.

No Problems at 16X so far
I bought a new 16X burner for my PC and have tried the 25pk Verbatim 4.7GB 16X DVD+R media on it.I have not had any failures so far burning at 16X and the playback has been fine.I have bought another 25pk of this media.

One of the best 16x media in the market
Verbatim 16x DVD+R (media code MCC004, by Mitsubishi) is currently one of the best 16x DVD+R media in the market, in my opinion. I have 100 of these (4x25 pack) and consistenly burn excellent in my Plextor 712a (at 12x) and two BenQ 1620A (at 16x). By excellent means every burn will give a very low PIE/PIF (Parity Inner Errors/Failure) and zero POF (Parity Outer Failure). I'm sorry if its too technical but this is how I measure burn quality. When the burn quality is excellent, you will most likely never get any playback problem. Visit cdfreaks dot com in "media" or "dvd recording" forum for more information. I also own many different media from Taiyo Yuden TY T01/T02/G02, Ricoh R01/R02, Sony08D1, MCC003/004 etc and can confirm that MCC004 is one of the best quality. For your information, these companies (TY, Ricoh, Sony, Mitsubishi, Maxell) make a very good "dye" for DVD and CD disks under different brand (Fuji, TDK, Memorex, Verbatim, Sony etc), along with other poor dye makers. With a dvd identifier (free) you can check the media code of the disk, hence you will know who makes the disk.

A bad choice for 16x writing
With a destructive toddler in the house I like to back up my DVD movies.
Having recently purchased a 25 unit spindle, I recently tried backing up several DVDs with my sony DRU-710A 16x DVD recorder.Although the recording process initially did seem to work smoothly,when I attemped to play back the disks recorded at 16x speed, I would have read errors and lockups on DVD players usually towards the end of the film (the outside of the physical disk, where maximum recording speed is obtained.)
I did have better reliability recording at 4x speed and suspect that 8x writes will work fine as well.Given the fact that I paid a premium for this new high speed media, I am disappointed.I have had nearly 100% reliability with Memorex 8x DVD+R, recently making 25 successful recordings in a row with this brand (ASIN: B0001MKU4S) ...

It works perfectly with no flaws
I bought this at the store and thought I was going to have problems with this company but i didn't. I first burned a music cd using Nero 6 and played it on my cd player and it worked with no problems. I also burned an ISO onto another CD-R and was able to use it with a label. Still no problems. I finally put some pictures on another cd and have looked at them from the cd and it has never failed me. This product is very good. I also did some other tests. Cd drives will not be able to read the cd if it is dusty but after it is wiped (even in a circular motion which is bad for the cd) it will work. I don't know if thats any different for any other company... Some one said that putting labels on the CDR will mess it up. It doesn't. At least not for me. I have put around 10 labels on different KHypermedia CDRs and they all work.

GOOD
Usually I need many cds to burn my files, but black cds usually are pretty expensive..
Finally I found cheap and high quality black cds..
At firt, I didn't feel sure about this cd because I had never heard about the brand khypermedia before.. ya~ that was ture...
but you know what.. it's just great!!! ^_^b

An Absolute Bargain with High Quality thrown in.
These discs are flat-out-hands-down The Real Thing.
I bought a 50 disc spindle of these last year in a local store because the price was too good to pass up.They burned fine at top speed and down to 2x.Since, I recieved a 100 disc spindle for Christmas (I have a large 600+ CD collection to backup) and bought 2 more 50s and the only "coasters" I've made were my own durned fault.I bought a 30 and a 50 of Memorex and four of those refused to burn.I should have known better from my experiences with their tape products.
I've made audio, data and SVCDs.I even used a few to back up some old freeware that is no longer extant anywhere but private archives and freed up hard disc space in the bargain.That's high praise indeed!I've successfully overburned a couple to 82 minutes(equiv.) packing on audio books ripped to mp3 for trips.
Never have I had a problem with a CD-ROM or DVD or CD audio player reading these.Anecdote?I have a CD that my 12 year old Discman refuses to play anymore.I ripped it with Exact Audio Copy, burned it with Nero and that 12 year old Discman happily plays that new disc all the way through without a glitch.That saved me the cost of the spindle right there.
The busiest discs are still in fine condition through many, many trips in and out of the CD sleeve. (Maxells seem to have a surface made of gelatin, they scratch so easily.)
Complaints?Well... The K-Hypermedia logo takes up all of the top half of the disc so if you want to write comments, you'd better be brief or be willing to put in the time (and money) to make your own labels.That's it.
Conclusion: I use TDK mainly because they are easier to find, but I don't hesitate to buy these because they are no-name and neither should you.

Hard to trust a value brand, isn't it?
In April 2003 (six months before this writing) I was dimly aware that I was running out of CD-Rs, and so when Amazon's front page confronted me with this cheap spindle of something called "KHypermedia" I actually paid attention instead of clicking on through.I'm usually wary of value brands of anything, especially those I've only seen online, but because these discs were on sale from an already very low price, and because I was ordering something anyway, I clicked them into my cart.

I've now burned dozens of music CDs, video CDs, and data storage CDs from this spindle, and they've all been fine and remain so.No skips, no coasters, no degradation over time --- in short, no difference from any other CD-Rs I've used.If this is the best per-disc price you've seen on this particular shopping trip, go for it. ...

Check your camera first!
Today with lot's of storing media running around, you must be careful into choosing the right one that's for you, and also, you must check your camera manual so you can know up to how much memory it can stand, some time ago I bought a polaroid PDC-640 cam, and it wont take smartmedia cards larger than 8MB, so be careful in choosing!

Nice
Before you buy this product, make sure it's compatible with the camera you want to use it in. This 32mb smart media card is a nice fat batch of memory for storing your digital camera's photos. It's 4 times the size of memory from the 8mb that consumers often get with their digital cameras. Depending on the settings in which you snap your pictures, you can fit up to approximately 200 photos on this card! I've maxed out and re-used my card dozens of times and I have never encountered any problems with it. Assuming I snap a good photo with my camera, the images are stored in their brilliant, colorful and clear quality. This card (which is the size of a quarter) is very reliable and not difficult to use. Don't be dissuaded by the price, it's worth it considering that you'll be re-using it many times unlike regular film.

bought wrong kind - check your camera!
I wanted to buy a new smart media card for my digital camera.I thought the 32mb cards would be great.Only thing is my camera, 2 years old, won't support the card.It will only recognize cards up to 16 mb.Please be sure to check your cameras guidlines before purchasing accessories!

A few Querks
I own an Oly C2100 and love digital over film!The fact that you can delete, view, do movie/audio....its a lot to remember.I have the 8mb smartmedia that came with the Oly and like everyone, found out that a plain 32mb smartmedia card wouldn't let me select 'panorama' just when I needed it, made me HOT.I took the the shots and they where OK but the lighting did change a bit between frames.I wouldnt have bought the 'plain' card had I know before( but 'If' and 'Ida' were playing this card game).The second issue is the 'scratch factor'.I have only removed the 8mb card 6 times and I notice certain areas of the metal surface beginning to wear.Take care to insert/remove the card gentley and at the proper orientation(square) as the clearance in the the camera slot and reader slot is too tight. I find that setting the image size down one size (most 2.1 megapixals default at 1200x1600) allow more photo storage and one less step to take when emailing and printing.Also take a lot of shots and enjoy as this media (camera/card) will be obsolete before we know it. ...

The card stops working in 4 days.
I purchased the card one month ago. First of all, the card received is different from the picture. It is thinner than the picture and doesn't have the write protector. Worst of all, my camera can not detect the card after 4 days use. I tried with another camera and two PDAs. None of them can detect the card. I contacted the ventor and requested a refund for the purchase. I finally got the refund but the shipping was deducted. I am not sure what the logic is here. Am I responsible for receiving the defective product? I won't bother to argue with them for the shipping charge but there is one thing for sure. I will never buy anything from SimpleTech again. I should give them one star rating but consider their promptness in replying email, I give them 2 stars rating.

The product received is different from the picture
Just received the SimleTech STI-SD/512, and realized it looks different from the picture.It is thinner, black color and plus no "lock" switch.What's going on Simpletech, are you sending me an inferior product?

The best SD with the best customer service!!
I got some SimpleTech SDs and let me say that these are the best SD I ever had. Incredible fast and reliable. Never lost a byte!!
Also they have a great customer service. I issued an order but the product couldn't be shipped on time. So i sent an email to them and they immediately canceled the order and refund me. No words!!! This is the vendor to go!!!

Worth two
Worth two? Yes, because this is my second purchase of a Simpletech SD card. This brand is not one of the least expensive, and it's for good reason. It's very dependable. I've never lost photo data; nor have I had any of them become corrupted. True, there are 1 gigabyte SD cards out right now, but having two 512 MB cards instead is not too bulky, anyway. Simpletech is a known quantity. Other brands aren't, and all I hear is how people have gotten defective cards from the other brands. Not Simpletech. This is my brand of choice. Can't wait for their 1 GB!

You Get What You Pay For
Yes, there are cheaper SD cards.But read their fine print:they (the cheaper ones) are slow - and often unreliable.Don't cripple your investment in a digital camera by going cheap on the SD memory card.

Get this one.It rocks. ... Read more

Groooovy Magic
Holy cow. I've used other filters to clean music, and for this price, I expected a "decent" job. SoundSoap 2 delivered awesome results with the most simple operation--the Learn Noise button. I'm a multi-track artist and had transferred old "open-reel" recordings to minidisc and then CD, in order to archive them. I was not happy with the hiss from older recordings when converting to MP3s. SoundSoap brought these recordings back to life-virtually eliminating the hiss and noise! It even made them "sparkle." And the less I messed with the settings, the better it came out. Downside is that it can't directly save MP3s, but no biggie--use Audacity (free on the Web) or iTunes to then convert your files. Nice job, Bias! ... Read more

Flawless Performance
I purchased a Lexar Media 512 MB Secure Digital Memory Card for use in a digital camera and an MP3 player. I've had it for about a year. The card functions great in both devices. I have absolutely no complaints.

512 megs, at a premium.
For a long time, MultiMediaCards (MMCs) were a tough sell against other formats such as CompactFlash & SmartMedia (and lately vs Sony Memory Sticks too), largely because they were offered in smaller memory capacities and always had a higher cost-per-meg than those formats. The SD card (interchangeable with MMC cards) is a format which has some distinct advantages over the other formats in terms of physical size and memory protection. However, when compared to other SD cards of smaller sizes (eg. the several 256MBs available), there is a considerable premium here on a dollar-per-meg basis (all of those are well under 50 cents per meg). I think for most folks it makes more sense to buy two 256 MBs than to put all one's eggs (and files) in one costlier basket. When the new 1 Gig cards come out, the price on the 512s will drop.

Great storage, too slow
I'm using this smartmedia with my Samsung Digimax 200. Although I relate this phenomenon to the smartmedia format per-se, it does make your camera slower. After using this card it took nearly 26 seconds for the camera to be ready to take a shot. That includes initialization and flash charge. This is way much longer than with the original 8MB card. So it's not that this particular brand is bad, but the higher capacity the card has, more you'll have to wait to initialize your camera.
Besides that, this was a great purchase, along with a simpletech smartmedia USB 2.0 reader.

Happy with the Card
The card seemed to make my camera a little slower to get ready after I turn it on. Besides that I am very happy and it was so cheap too !

Fast, Easy, and Inexpensive Memory
If you're using it for a digital camera, PDA, or an mp3 player you can expect speed and quality from the SimpleTech 128 MB Smart Media Card. First of all, it adds a lot of extra memory at an inexpensive price. With a 2.1 megapixal digital camera, you can take 160 full-quality pictures instead of 40 or 80 that you would get with a 32 or 64 MB Smart Media Card. It also stores pictures faster than many other brands, allowing you to take pictures quicker. If you own any device using Smart Media memory that is compatible with 128 MB, you shouldn't settle for less.

SimpleTech SmartMedia is slower than other brands
I have three brands of SmartMedia cards: SimpleTech, Viking, and the Olympus card that came with my camera.I timed how long it took to copy the same 5MB file to each card.The result:the other cards took 32 seconds and the SimpleTech took 38 seconds.So, my results show that the SimpleTech is about 18% slower than the others. That's important to me because when I take action shots I'm often waiting for the previous image to write to disk before I can take the next shot.

Hack it to work with your Olympus
Great cards. I ordered two for my Oly C4000. Hacked the header with a hex editor, and now they even work in panorama mode on the camera. ... Read more

Works perfectly!
I've had this card for about 1 1/2 years now and it has performed flawlessly. It has seen thousands of photos (no exaggeration!) on my digital camera and now holds data/mp3s for my palm too. Did you know you can pop your SD card out of a camera and into a palm to view photos? I just learned this. Anyway it's a nice product and I'm about to get another SimpleTech with 512 megs or higher if they have one. If you are new to SD memory, always get more storage than you need because eventually you'll buy something that will use one (camera, handhelds, cell phones, etc. -- note that many cell phones use a smaller "MiniSD").

Very Very Nice!
This is a very good sd card and is a great size for its value. I am using it with the panasonic sv-av20 digital cam and it works perfect for it. plays mp3s great, and can handle video very well. Overall great SD card!

couldn't hope for better
i got the right decision when i brought it. it functionned instantly when i put it in my hp 720 camera. it is provided with a lifetime warranty and you recieve a plastic box to put the card in. it is also the cheapest 128 mb card in the market. beware the transfer speed is 2 mb/s

Dependable & Reasonably Priced
Sandeep's review was informative, but for photographers like myself, I'm not going to be too concerned about a difference of 6 MB (actual 122 MB instead of 128 MB). All I'm concerned about is will the card retain the data in a consistent, accurate and dependable manner; not like what happened to the poor guy who lost his using a Sandisk memory card. The price is right, too. I've had this Simpletech 128 MB SD card for 2 years now, and haven't had one single problem with it.

Great card - but only 122 MB of memory
The card works great and had no problems using it. However, I did find that it only registers as 122 MB. I think the difference is that the card is not 128 MB, but rather 128,000,000 Bytes. Usually 1 MB is 1024 x 1024 Bytes. I think this should be clarified on the product description.

Another thing - even though Amazon's description states that it is over 10 MB/sec, the 128 MB is really only 2.5 to 3 Mb/sec. I think their 256 MB and 512 MB cards are faster. Check the online manual for details.

Other than that - no problem! ... Read more

Simple, basic, does the job it was meant for
Assuming you've got an available USB port on your PC, and are running a USB-compatible version of Windows (Win98SE or higher, or Windows 2000/XP), this product does exactly what you'd expect it to.Simple to use - just plug your PS/2-style mouse and/or keyboard into the unit, then plug the unit into an available USB jack on your PC, and Windows will autodetect the devices.

This is an excellent device to use if you want to attach two PS/2 style keyboard/mouse combos to the same PC - for example, if you've got both an adult and a child-size keyboard you want to run on the same PC, and both keyboards have PS/2 jacks.

Device also works great if you want to attach a PS/2 style keyboard or mouse to a laptop which has only USB ports. ... Read more
