Kingston or SanDisk?

[RupeeClock]

I quite like the new Samsung grey cards.
(I have only used the grey ones, I don't trust the older black Samsung.)

The plus are class 6 and the standard are class 4. Get them on amazon for reasonable price. The come with a bright green, slightly useless rubber keyring thingy.

Best thing about Samsung grey is you have much less chance of getting a fuken clone.

Looks like a good memory card, how does it benchmark?
Do you have one yourself?

Crystal Diskmark 3.0 says: 15.33MB/s read, 12.02MB/s write (I have one here too - and it seems blisteringly fast compared to the Transcend class 6 it's replacing)

Wow, I just tried my plain old 8gb Sandisk, Class 6 with HD Speed, it only did 8.5MBs.

I should buy a new one.

Edit: You benchmarked the Samsung Plus right?

This one is a class 4 non HC Samsung 2gb (used on a R4 original).

This is the read and write speeds from windows 7 using a movie file.

Write speed

Read speed

I guess this is ok for a class 4. Seems to be pretty quick on the R4.

Yes - part number is MB-MP8G312 from www.play.com

There's no way I'm buying from play.com

They totally fucked up the registration process, I got a 403 error whilst registering.
Now I have account that cannot be accessed, that they will not send a recovery password to, and still send me spam email, with no option to unsubscribe.

It's bullshit, fuck play.com

...Actually, screw that I'll just phone them up and sort it out.
With that Ash Cloud i'd rather buy locally.

Edit: Phoned em, fixed in a matter of minutes, awesome.

Shoptemp sells fake Kingstons from Taïwan (real ones are from Japan).
I just receive mine today along with an AK2i.
No problem with the flashcart (doesn't came pre-flashed for 1.4 tough, not a big deal) but very disapointed about the micro SD.

If you have to order a micro SD, don't do it from Shoptemp.

I received my Kingston 16GB microSD from ShopTemp, and it is also fake. This needs to be looked into immediately. Anyone else who has received a microSD from ShopTemp, please post whether the card you got was genuine or a knockoff. Thanks!

How can you identify that it is a fake Kingston?
Is it simply just poor performance or what?

I have a 2gb Kingston coming with my R4DS, I'll let you know how that turns out.

Yeah, samsung microSD are great. This manufacturer has provided microSD memory to Kingston and Transcend for the main brand i know.
Simple to identify if it's samsung made. The part number is mainly printed on the other side of the microSD and it's mainly made in korea.

OEM part numbers :

MMAGR08GUDCA => 8GB
MMAGR04GUDCA => 4GB
MMAGR02GUDCA => 2GB
MM8GR01GUACA => 1GB

Now they have decided to sell officially under their brand. Great microsd. They should sell that on shoptemp.
