Hacking What's Your Opinion on Kingston?

As some of you may have seen, I recently posted a topic regarding buying a Kingston 8gb MicroSD. I want to hear what everyone thinks of Kingston. Are their products reliable?

They seem like a pretty good company, their products are reliable, I have a few Kingston MicroSDs.

I've personally had two bad occasions with Kingston, where both my 1GB Taiwan microSD cards failed after about 4-5 months of moderate use. I think it was a bad batch.

Shipping for RMA would of costed me more than buying a brand new card.

I ended up with Patriot, and I haven't looked back.

I now own a few Patriot 1GB and 2GB microSD cards and a 8GB SDHC Class 6.

my 4GB has been working fine since april, used it right out of the box
make sure to try and get JP made ones though

Out of about 15 uSD cards (Kingston, Sandisk, A-Data, PQI, Filemate, Transcend, and Patriot brands), I have only had two bad cards, both Kingston (MiJ 1GB and 2GB). The 2GB lasted about a year, the 1GB was good for about 3 months.

From what I've heard, Taiwan Kingstons suck. I have had a Japanese Kingston for years now, and it still works great, never had a problem with it.

I've bought and used many Japanese Kingston 1gb and 2gb microsd cards and have not had a single problem with any of them. I have also bought a Taiwanese card for a friend and he hasn't a single problem with any of the games he plays on his DS.

I also use kingston ram in both of my home PC's
