Kingston MINI-SD Secure Digital 2048 MB

Advantages: Great Performance, Awesome Durabilty and VERY cheap at retailers.
Disadvantages: Write Speeds could be better but as still above the standards set by most competitors.

...Kingston Technology Company is an American producer of memory products.They are located in California but has other offices in Asia and Europe. I had in the past bought 3 of these cards but actually not for any fault of the device but because of the relibility of this card. With the size of a quarter of a normal SD card this MicroSD is perfect for all kinds of media. Along with write speeds of 6.5 MB/sec and a read speed of 8.8Mb/Sec the card is more than ready for many tasks. The durability of the card is incredible however if the golden strips are put into contact with a humans fingers or constantly touched then the memory card can face issues. Furthermore is common in many SD and Micro SD media and is seen as a general hardware problem. Kingston is such a confident company of their product that it includes a lifetime warranty!...

Yes, when you buy the Kingston Micro SD, the card itself will fit into all of your Micro SD powered devices... Read review

Advantages: Carry Case, adapters, storage space, speed,
Disadvantages: Small and fiddly

...Most people have devices such as digital cameras or mobile phones today that require additional memory. This normally comes in the shape of a memory card. While there are a few options around, one of the most popular over recent years has been the SD card style. However, with all modern technology, they strive to make things smaller and smaller. Enter the Micro SD card! My Micro SD card was required by my XDA Orbit phone. Looking at the size of the opening in my phone, one thing struck me about the card required. It was going to be small and fiddly. That is exactly what it is. Small and fiddly to handle. You need to be very careful not to lose it as it weighs very little and its also very thin and fragile. However, the option that comes from Kingston helps you out with a handy carry case for when it is not being used. The clear plastic... Read review
