I am surprised at the number of people that reportedcard corruption on new cards. I am very surprised that SanDisk's response was so weak. I would like to know if a single batch had problems or if there is widespread failure rates accross the hole...

One of the first tests that I run when I buy these cards is to test it by filling it up with some large files. I do this several times with a format in between. So far, touch wood my cards are working fine as I have them in my Nikon D7000 camera. I could not locate a batch number on the card - perhaps your issue may well be a bad batch.

The card that came in my camera was not SanDisk, but it seemed comparable. Keep in mind, when you install the Power Magic with your camera, it is recording and writing constantly to the SD card. Even with an occasional reformat, the cards won't last forever. I switched to SanDisk after the included card wore out, but my SanDisk cards died after the same amount of time. The BlackVue is a great camera; just be aware that you will need to purchase an occasional replacement card.

I'm going to stand behind class 2. I purchased a class 6 and class 4 from Sandisk and they blast 2gb file transfers over to the cards but this one is well below class 4. Good card and holds files good but definitely slower.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

Hi ... Must have been a "Bad Batch!!" Did you check for continuity? Haven't tried mine - Yet!

Question for you: Have you contacted BOSS Tech Support about getting an updated MapMicroSD card yet? There is a known issue with the factory sent card and they are sending out updated Map SD card at no charge. I am still waiting for my replacement to arrive but maybe it gives an ealier warning to upcoming turns. I am hoping so at least as I too saw the same late warning you are describing.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

This is 100% true. Sandisk warranty only apply to retail packaging. In fact, most any Sandisk card sold is bulk is likely counterfeit.http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/sosfakeflash-news-20111228-china-sellers-unleash-a-new-plague-of-fake-flash-memory-on-ebay-buy-now-listings-for-sandisk-kingston-memorette-counterfeits-memory-cards-and-usb-flash-drives/

I've got a 1GB regular Sandisk and 2GB Ultra II Sandisk, and they both work flawlessly. I'd guess it's just you need a good name brand card?

have had two two 32GB KomputerBay cards that I use very profusely in my 7D and 5D MKIII without error. I have never experienced the error you speak of. I formatted the cards the first time I used them in the 7D. I have at leat 20,000 clicks on each of these cards so far, no glitches.Roy.

Yes, be careful with the cheap card readers from China. I had one that corrupted image files during the read or import of the images and they were unrecoverable. I threw it away of course, but I just wanted to agree that it does happen.

Your question made me nervous, so I got the card out and put it in my office p.c. It was not recognized and would not open. Guess I'm going to join the 45 and not even give it a 1. I'll have to see if I can change my recommendation. Glad you brought it up before I downloaded more photos.

yes, I have problems with the SD card too. I think to me, it is problems of the company, or I don't know if works with only a type of SD, if somebody can help me with this problems please. write here. thanks you

Take it from someone who has already been burned. Bulk packaging = NO SanDisk Warranty !! If the card fails you might as well throw it away.

Purchased mine from a different site and yeah the card slid in rite next to the slot and got stuck but I retrieved it and inserted it properly cam works great! I think most of these people are just impatient with it. I think its a pretty nice purchase for the price!!

I assume the same could be said of any product purchased through online sellers. Amazon does have reviews and rates the sellers so I think you should not be concerned. Also, while returns are an inconvenience, Amazon stands up for buyers and knows sometimes problems can happen. I have purchased SanDisk and Sandisk Micro Cards through Amazon and never a problem so far. Did the person, telling you to beware, have a specific problem or were they trying to sell you Cards themselves?

No. The card is manufactured by SanDisk. Probably it was a mistake of advertisement. I have two of them on both my Samsung devices and they are working flawlessly. Maybe it is because they pair really well with Samsung products.
