100MB limitation for files copied directly in the root directory (Hyung Lee, Scarsdale, NY USA, 2008-05-06)

I've had the card for several months, and have used it happily in my digital camera and PDA without any problems. I actually like the problem very much, but I am writing about a minor issue, though esoteric, that I experienced.

Today, I was trying to load photos onto the SD card to use in a digital photo frame, and I noticed that I could not copy beyond 100MB, no matter what I did. I tried deleting all the files and recopying, etc., without success. I erroneously thought it was the problem with the digital photo frame, since it worked fine in my digital camera and PDA.

It turned out that the problem has to do with the limitation of this SD card (I am not sure if this is a problem with ALL SD cards, or just this one), was that there is a 100MB limitation if you copy files onto the root directory of the SD card. The solution was to make a folder (any name - I called it Photos), and copy the files onto the folder. It worked.

Kingston Tech support experience was positive. I was able to get a live person right away, and the minute I described the problem, the support person gave me the solution instantaneously. I suppose this was not the first time someone called about this issue.

I hope this helps you.

Great performance (seby_deadbee, Seattle, WA USA, 2007-11-29)

Very happy with these sd cards. I've purchased three so far with great results. Cheaper than SanDisk and better performance to boot!

Great Memory Card at a Great Price! (Eric Gengler, Sgt. Bluff, IA USA, 2007-11-13)

I needed a memory card for my new camera. When searching for one, I came across the Kingston Elite Pro card. I have always had good luck with Kingston products, and their customer service is awesome. Better yet, the price from Amazon was really good. I purchased the card, and have no troubles with it at all.

Bought this card for my new Nikon CoolpixL12. Works flawlessly; very glad I got the quick one. Good price from Amazon and always good shipping.

Decent (J, Colorado, USA, 2007-09-16)

Not the quickest card out there, but it gets the job done and is reliable.
