Product Description
A-Data 8GB SDHC Class 6 To save every precious, valuable, and romantic moment, you may purchase high resolution digital camera, digital camcorder, or other high-end devices. However, normal Secure Digital Cards (SD Cards) on the market today may not let you capture these moments because of slow read/ write speed. Slow read/write speed may cause lag time between shots and result in missing the opportunity to record some of your finest memories. This A-DATA Turbo SDHC Memory Card (Class 6), rated a Class 6 performance card which means the card has a guaranteed read/write speed of at least 6MB/s, will reduce time between shots. For those high-end digital devices users, A-DATA Turbo SDHC Memory Card (Class 6) will ensure you capture every “picture-perfect” moment!

 I must have got lucky! July 9, 2008
Timogin (Washington)
I'm not sure why others are having a problem with this A-Data card. I bought it at the same time I bought the highly regarded Panasonic FZ8. The memory works perfectly in all situations. I can set the camera up for high speed consecutive shots and this memory performs exactly as expected. I've never had a problem writing to or reading from the card and I've used it quite a bit over several months. In the interest of fairness, I gave it 4 stars only because I don't have another 8GB SDHC card to compare it too.
 Stay away from this junk! July 7, 2008

I bought this card from another online storefront, but I am trying to warn others of unreliable this card is. YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA! It happened to me twice! It works fine for the first couple of weeks, but the card will ultimately fail and take everything stored inside with it. It does not perform as specified, the card is slow for HD recording (no way it is truly class 6), and the RMA service is a joke. When my first card failed, I had to contact A-Data of Taiwan because this was the only email address listed on their website. They took 2 weeks to respond to my emails, and even then I didn't receive any response about sending the card in, just worthless tips and troubleshooting inquiries. After almost 2 months, A-Data finally updated their page with contact email for USA customer service, and I was finally able to contact someone that spoke English and got my card RMA'ed. Unfortunately, the second card died on me too after a month.
The positive reviews you see around the net are only there because people put up reviews after using the card for only a week or less. This card is a disposable, and will fail after using it for a while longer. Do not use it for vacation photos, family pictures, once in a lifetime events or anything. You won't even be able to backup your data in time because it will fail WHILE you are taking photos/video. Even the NAND chips completely fail, so you can't salvage anything with professional data recovery service.
Beware - this is the slowest SDHC card out there - too slow for many digital cameras!!! February 19, 2008

Too slow for hi-def video. I have a much older 2gb SD card which is much faster than this supposedly class 6 SDHC card - I really find it hard to believe that it can read or write at 6mbps or higher. Complete waste of money.
Died in 2 weeks December 31, 2007

I used this card in my Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder for a week for testing before the Christmas party. It worked fine for that week, but saddly it started to give error during recording at the party on tripod mount. I turned off the camcorder and turned it back on, the camcorder says "Reparing Data", and after a minute it starts to record for few seconds and then "Card Error" appears again. After that, the card complete died on me. The card now doesn't read by usb card reader anymore. I tested the camcorder with Sandisk card and worked fine but as soon as I popped this one in, "Card Error" appears and wouldn't record. Its life span was only a little more than a week. I wish A-Data has better quality control before releasing this to the public. Should've spend more money to get a better card. The money saved wasn't worth the video lost. Lesson learned.
Wish I could give it ZERO stars. Defective on arrival October 31, 2007

Paid $63 plus shipping. Put it in new camera, and it displayed a CARD ERROR. Other SDHC cards worked perfectly in the camera. Tried the ADATA in another digital camera that accepts SDHC cards and also got a CARD ERROR message. Would not respond to a format command either. Didn't show up when I put it in a USB attached SDHC card reader on the computer.
Perhaps some people had better luck, but the company obviously doesn't test these cards before they send them out.
