Great value memory,
Before getting to the actual memory card, I’d first like to mention two things I like:
1. It comes with the MicroSD adapter – something I find very useful.
MicroSD is almost *the* standard for mobile phones (with even stubborn manufacturers like Sony Ericsson slowly ditching their proprietary formats in favor of this) but the problem is, a lot of larger products (like cameras and laptops for instance) take only the standard SD card.
Here, it is advantageous to have the adapter because all you have to do is plug the card in your adapter and you’re ready to transfer your pix/files from your phone to your laptop and vice versa.
2. The packaging won’t injure you.
Quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of those horrible plastic-clamshell packaging which takes a knife and two steady hands to cut open; fortunately, this card ships in a neat cardboard cover which surrounds a re-sealable plastic ‘case’ that can also double as a storage case in case you need it (although wasn’t probably intended for that purpose).
Getting to the actual card, I found the card reasonably fast with okay read and write speeds; this is most likely attributed to the “Class 4″ speeds it carries, but to be honest I’m not too sure what that means for the average joe (who’s probably only going to use this on their phone or whatever)
The only (small) complaint I have is that its a tad bit difficult to pull the memory card out of the adapter, but then that’s hardly a complaint considering the performance and the price, so I gladly give this five stars.

|Buy this over the SanDisk,
I bought three SanDisk equivalents and then bought three of these. Don’t bother with SanDisk, these are twice the speed for the same money.

|Failed after 1 week – unlucky I guess,
Phone stopped recognising it after a week. Did not seem to work properly before that as read speeds were pretty slow. Reformatted it and it worked for an hour or so and then phone stopped seeing it again.
Ordering Sandisk one now, but I’m sure they’re of equivalent quality.
