Re: 8GB SDHC Flash Card Experience
 

What brand/size/etc. of SD card have people had success with, using just the built-in N800 formatting tools?

I was just looking at the Kingston 2GB SD card (not mini nor micro). At just $22, seems like a decent price for 2 or 3 of them... but if they're going to die on me, I'd rather not bother.

I would have to agree, my Patriot 8GB card (now corrupted) is a Class 6 card.

grrr... It's 1:45 AM on day 3 of trying to fix my Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SD card, which was eaten by my N800 (or by a crappy reader, but I think it was the tablet), and I just cant believe that something with no moving parts can be "broken"! I've tried every camera in my house (Canon S2, Pentax, Nikon, 2 Kodaks), a Mac, Ubuntu, 3 different XP machines... using every utility I could find... and no luck.

Has anyone been able to resurrect one of these cards? Thanks for any input!!

gparted running on a Linux PC has worked for me when cards seemed to go south. I haven't had this specific problem though, fortunately,

Re: 8GB SDHC Flash Card Experience
 

I bought a 16GB Transcend SD card for my N800, which died shortly after. I sent it back, and its replacement died just as quickly. In both cases it seemed to be hardware fault, not just a corrupt filesystem or partition table.

In comparison, my SanDisk cards have been rock solid, even under heavy use. One's been through the washing machine and dryer, and still works perfectly.

So, my solution to the problem is to stop buying cheap cards.
