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.

I got this little bugger as I needed a bit more memory in my secondary phone as the 4 gig one was really getting insufficient for my needs. The product arrived fast enough and I have to agree with one of the previous reviewers that the packaging was not one of those plastic monstrosities that seem to have been designed specifically to infuriate the consumers. The thing that kinda shocked me was when I decided to do a full check if the memory was OK,because 8 gigs for this price seemed somewhat suspicious I discovered that the card is consistently faster than both the 4 gig SanDisk it was replacing,but also the 32 gig one I have in my main phone despite all cards being the same type - microSD HC Class 4's. Here are the specifics as tested using CrystalDiskMark 2.2 with a 50 meg test file and 9 repetitions:
4gb SanDisk (the 32gig one had roughly the same result)
Sequential Read : 8.508 MB/s
Sequential Write : 2.716 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 8.553 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 1.743 MB/s
Random Read 4KB : 0.755 MB/s
Random Write 4KB : 0.270 MB/s
8gb Kingston
Sequential Read : 13.748 MB/s
Sequential Write : 6.084 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 13.820 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 2.747 MB/s
Random Read 4KB : 2.182 MB/s
Random Write 4KB : 0.038 MB/s
Of course,I might just be lucky with the batch/chip,but it's still an interesting speed difference

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.

Does what it should at a very reasonable price!
Two minor probs experienced:-
1. Getting the card out of its plastic adaptor storage/transportation case (not the retail packaging!).... The clasp on the case makes it nigh-on impossible to get into and I had to resort to using a knife blade to prise it open!
2. The micro card itself sits flush in its sd adaptor which makes it difficult to pull it out, so could do with a small ridge or indentation on its upper edge in order to be able to easily remove it from the adaptor, or out of slots on equipment that aren't spring-loaded (e.g. Blackberry Storm!)
Other than that, very happy! And of course, despite ordering with a super-saver delivery and expecting a 14 day delivery period, with Amazon's inimitable efficiency, the card arrived within 2 days!

I bought this SD card for my phone as it has very little memory. This card has enabled me to download an enormous amount of music to listen to on the go. well worth the money :)

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.

Good value for money and does the job it is meant to. Would recommend it as it also saves time having to go round shops to try and find one and then find out Amazon is cheaper
