Review on SanDisk® MicroSDHCTM 8GB Memory Card by Mark Lodge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Choosing the right MP3 player Sansa Clip+

I wanted to increase the capacity of my 4GB Sandisk Sansa Clip+ MP3 player and this tiny (really small, square and less than a dime) card was the perfect choice. I bought mine with a MicroSD to SD adapter and a mini USB memory card reader. I also went to the SanDisk website and downloaded the latest Clip+ firmware update before installing the memory card. My Clip+ immediately accepted the card and displayed (via the Settings/System Settings/About menu items) the SD card, its total capacity and the available storage space. I was able to sync MP3 files directly to the memory card (VERY fast, no problems at all) using an adapter and a reader-writer, or alternatively via my Clip+ with the card installed. Windows Media Player recognizes the card as external storage for your Clip+ and lets you sync files as usual. I've read some reviews where people have stated that their device will only have access to 2GB of the card's capacity. I did NOT have this issue with the Clip+ - it recognized and accessed the full capacity of the card (around 7.3GB which is typical for an 8GB card as some of the memory is used by formatting). SanDisk MicroSDHC is fast and reliable. I was able to almost triple the capacity of my MP3 player for about $10 including the adapter and reader/writer. worth your money!

Pros
  • Compatible with most devices with a microSD/microSDHC card slot.
