Sdhc Card Prices Plummetting

[ShyGuy]

I really doubt that if I buy a Class 6 from one of the top-tier companies like Panasonic, that it would be unstable.

I see what you're saying, but that's kind of my point. Perhaps Panasonic, but I haven't seen Kingston, SanDisk etc produce a 16GB, Class 6 card yet. At least that I've been able to find.

Kingston is a second-tier if I remember correctly. That could be their own choice, I don't know. As for SanDisk, they always release products after Panasonic. And SanDisk HAS a class 6 16GB. Try checking the manufacturer's website before you make claims like that: http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2687)..._SDHC_16GB.aspx

That's what I don't get, here... who's "good" and who isn't? There's a lot of "this is bad" and "this is much better" flying all over the place, with people contradicting themselves, etc.

If possible, I'd like a list of things to watch for or manufacturers to prefer.

I can tell you that Panasonic and Sandisk are Top Tier.

I *believe* that Kingston, Patriot, and PNY are second tier. After that, I don't know much aside from the fact that A-Data is not very high-tiered.

I'd suggest getting either a Panasonic or a Sandisk. You can't get a Panasonic off of newegg, however, they generally tend to cost less than SanDisk cards and are just as good.

I have 3 Adata cards. (2) 16GB class 6 SDHC and (1) 8GB class 6 SDHC that have worked perfectly since day 1. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this brand. It also has a "lifetime warranty." I would recommend buying from NewEgg or Buy.com and to stay away from EBAY. There usually isn't a better price on EBAY.

I have heard claims in the pre SDHC days that ADATA's casing was cheap and would eventually seperate or break. I have been buying ADATA for awhile now without problems.

Now, I have tried out the brand "TOPRam" and have had terrible problems! I would stay sway from this Manufacture at all costs.

I hope that sandisk isn't bad... Because I plan to buySecure Digital (SDHC) 16GB SanDisk Extreme III: link (polish computer shop).
The price 197 PLN = 60 EUR = 86 USD. A bit expensive, but it claims 20 MB/sec read and write.
I was looking on internet selling sites - there's a lot cheaper. If I find this one there - I'll get it from there (for lower price)

16gb stick class 6 34.99

I din't see a reason for moving this offtopic. SDHC is quite relevant to Pandora IMHO. It has two SDHC slots after all.

Now, try to think about PSX emulation...

Absolutely ridiculous deal at http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=40940...navid=155441524
OCZ 4GB Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) Card - Class 6 (OCZSDHC6-4GB) for
$0

It might be too good to be true, might not, but just thought I'd mention it here.

(I assume they'll charge you for shipping at least, but hey, if you want a whole bunch of 4GB cards...)
