Here is a list of devices, complete with feedback from users like yourself stating what cards work, and more importantly which ones don't. You may notice that some users have not had problems with cards that other users have. I guess its really down to how hard the individual pushes the memory card... Please send me your memory card details so I can update this list. Use the Feedback page to send me the details, and please remember to include as much as possible about your memory card (i.e. use the headings below as a guide). As you may of guessed, red is non-working and green is working (so far).
In the codes, n is a letter and 9 is a number. I've sorted the brand names alphabetically, then by capacity & code now, and highlighted changes in brands to make this ever increasing table easier to read!
Note that a number of brands (Dane_Elec, Lexar, PNY, Transcend, Pretec and Viking) use both known working cards/codes and not.... You can't tell this until you open the packet! This page does take its time to load, especially for modem users - Sorry folks!
My opinion on what will be a working SD card:
Well, any SD card with a nn9nn999999 or 9999nn9999n-style code on the back appears to work okay in most devices. That mainly means any Japanese-made SD card, but as I've found out lately some Taiwanese cards also have this code (and no problem).
Sorry to say that basically rules out Sandisk.
Reading below, the only brands that keep using that sort of SD card code are Panasonic, Toshiba and Simpletech.
This of course is my opinion, and I have NO LINKS AT ALL WITH ANY MEMORY CARD MANUFACTURER, okay?
Notes / Disclaimer:
Appreciate the time taken by users to send me their details - it is helping, honest!!! I know it is confusing that below some cards are listed as working and the same cards are not, but I can only go on what you folks say. If you say the card works, then I flag it as working. But of course...
This info is based on user info received VIA EMAIL and doesn't mean that a card will / won't work in your device!!!
And there has been a bit of a delay in updating this page, but I'm slowly getting it updated...
