what's bad about SanDisk 2GB?

what's bad about SanDisk 2GB?

SanDisk 2GB has problems playing games like Castlevania: POR cause it has a slower write speed/bandwidth.

Generally the thing lags, I had one too but traded it for a Kingston 2GB

EDIT: arctic explain it in another thread, the Random Access speed is slower on the Sandisk.

 

[mixinluv2u]

not all Kingston 2GB are fast enough to play PoR either, correct?

Damn I wish I was American...

Not only it's limited to TWO rebates but now you have to pay $4.99 for shipping! Good thing I bought it when they offer to ship for free. XD

Nevertheless it's a good deal.

I think this is an item that newegg just keeps revolving through a loop of:

(free shipping+rebate) -> (rebate) -> (free shipping) -> repeat...

When I posted my last message it had free shipping.

I think they do this to drive site traffic. Keep visiting it and don't be surprised to see free shipping before the rebate period ends.

For those who wants a 1GB microSD card:
Buy.com - Kingston 1GB microSD Secure Digital Card - SDC/1GBKR for $10 (or $0/FREE WITH GOOGLE CHECKOUT first time user only). FREE SHIPPING.

Er, it's a 1GBKR so I'm not sure if it's good as the other kind.

 

[wiithepeople]

^ **** that's cheap!! Especially FREE w/ first time GCheckout

But I don't think I need it even though I just have a 1gb microsd... I mean seriously guys if you only use your r4 or whatev for games, why do you need so much space? I have >25 games on my 1gb, and I don't even usually play half of them!

 

[mixinluv2u]

is the model number on the card SD-C02G?


No, it's SDC/2GB.

I've got 5 of 'em... Prolly gonna get wo more.

actually i got mine from there and it's the SD-C02G Japan ones. Castlevania: PoR runs fine. Do they stock both and it's just the luck of the draw?

now time for rebate! =D

Best Buy currently has 2GB PNY microSD for 19.99, normally $44. I just picked up 2 and the label reads Toshiba SD-C02G Japan. My R4 is currently being shipped, so I have not been able to test them. But it appears to just be a rebrand on PNY's part. When I was there the shelves where full of them.

I went back and looked at what's printed on the card itself and not the package and you're right, mine says "SD-C02G Japan" too. In my previous post I had just reported what was on the package insert card.

Thanks mixinluv2u...

I jus got my 2GB PNY at Best Buy for $20 yesterday. I haven't tested any game compatibility with my R4 though since I still haven't gotten my R4.

[thomasroberts6]
