I've had the 1GB SD card from SanDisk for a few days now. In general performance on the 7135 is not much different from my two Lexar 512MB cards (both standard speed and unlabeled, dubious 32x). Writing to the card from a USB2 writer shows a marked 2.5x write speed improvement.

Hopefully, I'll be able to provide a more thorough review soon. Until then, here are the results from VFSMark:

File Create: 82%
File Delete: 65%
File Write: 71%
File Read: 54%
File Seek: 92%
DB Export: 51%
DB Import: 86%
Record Access: 77%
Resource Access: 80%

VFSMark: 73

how is the 1GB card? still running ok? any lock-ups? I am considering a 1GB SD card (probably San Disk unless someone has a suggestion otherwise), but I don't want waste money if it doesn't work or isn't worth it.

The card does everything it's supposed to do. No real problems. Just verify any hardware you plan to use the card with can handle 1GB cards. While any SD-compliant system should work, not all "SD-compliant" systems properly support the upper limit on SD-card size.

Is there a significant or even noticeable difference between the SanDisk 1 GB card and the 1 GB Ultra II card?

Jeff

also, i wondering what is the best deals people have found on a 1GB SD card... I froogled it and found a price of $139 USD... anybody found anything lower?

How about $100 shipped?:

(Ignore the first 2 items - they don't belong in this category)

Pricewatch.com is great for these kinds of items, as is Pricegrabber.com.

all of the generics and "PQI" hover around 100, but the SanDisk card is at 139... anybody use these generics?? any issues?? should i spend the extra 40 bucks?

also, anybody use PQI? how is their quality?

I was able to find Sandisk 1gig for $197 from ComputerGiants.com
No issues. Would like to know about the PQI though.
