Review on SP Silicon Power 64GB SDXC UHS-I Memory Card: Elite Series, High-performance Storage Solution by Pete Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Silicon Power manufactures high quality memory products.

My iPod hard drive has failed and after looking for a hard drive replacement I found an alternative solution that will make the iPod last longer. There is an adapter board that can replace the hard drive in your iPod. Typically, you connect a compact flash memory card to an adapter and then use it as a new hard drive for your iPod. However, you now have a CF adapter that allows you to use an SD card as storage, which is cheaper and more durable. I found a CF to SD adapter and converter online at www.tarkan.info and found this 64GB SDXC card on Revain for a very reasonable price. After getting the CF to SD adapter and converter from Tarkan, I put the SD card into the CF to SD adapter, connected it to the HD adapter and plugged the whole setup into my iPod. I turned on my iPod, restarted the Apple software, synced my iPod with iTunes, and my iPod was back. The Silicon Power SD card works fine. I had no problems syncing music or with my iPod. The best thing about this conversion is that if I need more storage, I can buy 128GB and plug it into a CF to SD adapter and start working right away. I first came across the Silicon Power brand when I was looking for an external portable hard drive. SP offers a 3 year warranty while all other manufacturers only offer a 1 year warranty. I bought the HD and it's been working fine ever since I've had it, so I decided to take a chance with the SD memory card and I'm glad I did. It works as it should. Whether you want to upgrade your iPod like me or need an SD memory card for your camera or other electronics, give this company a try. I have two of their products and have not been disappointed. Highly recommended.
