just like people, companies change - improving or fading away.
I only bought one (it is right here, right now, no waiting for delivery etc.),
and it is just for testing.
will let you know if it lives up to Adata's reputation.

Things change, and not paying attention misses opportunity.
sony, toshiba, compaq were on my 'do not buy' list.
This year I added seagate, Toshiba is improving (glacially)
and others come and go.
I have used Mandriva for years -
shortly I will probably replace that with Mageia.
I have enjoyed Nokia products for 10 years,
and now Nokia is on my 'do not buy' list - the list goes on.

Just because they made junk this year does not mean
I will never trust them again ever,
it just means I will not bet more than the pocket change
I might better hand over to street urchins.
And if I find improvement then I will recognize that.

just balanced common sense about the old adage 'caveat emptor'.

I have a 16 GB class 4 from Kingston. Runs sweet.

It's let down in speed by the OS running index tracker all the time because I keep music on the SD card (I do it that way round so I can then interchange it between my actual phone when needed)

Wow! Impressive. I thought it was a poem.

Btw, you test them all on your N900? Or you also have a list of devices? Or are you a reseller, in this case, 'caveat vendictor'?

Just got me two 32Gb Class 10 Patriot cards, however my card slot on the N900 is not working anymore, so I can't test it. Have not yet seen a solution posted on the forum . Definitely works faster transferring files on a PC USB slot.

I recommend buying the 6 o'clock kind (check the title )

Just got a Kingston 8Gb class 4 yesterday for less than USD18. So far it's working fine.

While shopping for my SDHC, another shop had Sandisk 8Gb class 4 for over USD30. Anyone knows why the price difference betwen Kingston and Sandisk? Both were class 4, brand new, mfg in Taiwan, with 1 adaptor. Any experience with performance issues? Or is it just because of branding or pricing strategy?
