SDCFB-128-A10 CompactFlash 128 MB

I poped into my Axim and downloaded 25 songs (approx 5 MB/song) and it worked like a champ. No problem so far. But instead of 128 MB it showed the total capacity as 122.10 MB. I sent an email to sandisk customer service and I got the following answer from them. This might be helpful for you.The operating system, when reading the size of the card, reports a slightly different capacity than what is listed on the card's labelDefinitions of a Megabyte:1) Operating Systems commonly define a Megabyte (MB) as: 2 to the 20th power (1,024KB--Kilobytes).2) DiskDrive and Flash Memory Card Manufacturers commonly define a MB as one million bytes (exactly 1,000,000 bytes).Unformatted (Capacity)Also known as drive byte capacity before formatting. The Maximum capacity of disk drive before formatting equals[ (# Cylinders) X (# Heads) X (# Sectors) X (# Bytes per Track) ]Example:64MB CompactFlash Card consists of:490 Cylinders8 Heads32 Sectors512 Bytes per TrackThis equates to: [ (490) X (8) X (32) X (512) ] = 64,225,280Unformatted Capacity: 64,225,280 bytesFormatted Capacity: 63,934,464 bytes (User Data)Cause:Disk Drive Companies such as SanDisk define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,000,000BYTES. Operating Systems define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,048,576 BYTES (1024K X 1024K or 2 to the 20th power).Example:SanDisk 64MB CompactFlash Card being read by Microsoft OperatingSystem.SanDisk Total Formatted Capacity divided by 1 MB (as defined by the Operating System) equates to the following:63,934,464 BYTES / 1,048,576 BYTES = 60,972,656 BYTES, 60.9MB displayed by OS.

I ordered the SanDisk CompactFlash quite a while ago but, I am now just getting the time I needed to concentrate on fileng .I love my portable Zip flash drive . This is as easy as easy gets :). Took it out of the package , plugged into the Flash, then hooked to the USB drive and whala!! I was off and fileing , I was done in no time :). Actually ... If I may be honest here, this Flash Drive works so much faster then the Zip I had installed in my older computer . It is fast . I am happy :)

I'd select Viking over SanDisk but since there is a $$$ MIR for this card, I go for it. One of the reviewers pointed out and it also happend to me that I only got 121 MB after format using Canon Powershot S30 instead of close to 128 MB as advertised. Canon probrably calculates 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes versus computer calculating 1 MB = 1,048,576 (1024 x 1024) bytes. I got the card, tested and it worked.

This is a great little card. Yes, the new xd card used in Fuji cameras is much smaller but how small do you need? With this card you can take only one card on vacation with you, although I still recommend an extra card for emergencies. I have been using this one for a month now. I have 111 photos and three short videos and there's still room. I've printed my photos up to 8x10 and they look great, just like my 35mm enlargements. The video although pretty smooth when viewed on my TV is not quite as good as 8mm video, but better than on my previous camera. And this card is a heck of a lot smaller than 3 rolls of film and an 8mm video tape.I'll admit that the initial cost is high but remember that you can reuse the card again and again- simply download to your computer or a disc and erase the images from your card and you are ready to start over. Another advantage is the ability to immediately erase (true for all digital cards and cameras) and thereby save your 'film' for an important photo.

I rated this when I received it, but my rating seems to have disappeared. The shipping was very fast, and the price was great. The camera card works well, and it was sold as refurbished. So, do not hesitate to purchase refurbished products and save big $$$. Thank you.

It was not enough memory for me

it works

I have put my trust in the SanDisk name for many years and continue to be pleased with their products. The price was very good and the MB size met exactly my project limitation and criteria.

exactly what we need
