It is not often that I am disappointed in purchase received from Amazon, but unfortunately I got a disappointment in the mail yesterday.
I purchased a microSDHC card with SD sleeve for my MP3 player. Since SD cards have a limited number of writes before they go bad, my plan was to use the external micro SD card so when I get bad sectors I will replace the external card and not have to worry about having bad sectors in the internal storage of my MP3 player.
I picked this particular product because it had both SD Adapter and bonus USB sleeve mentioned in the description and by other reviewers.Unfortunately I encountered several issues with this order:
1) SD sleeve included in the package did not work. When I inserted it into the computer it was not seen. I have tried it on three computers (in addition to my home computer I tried it at work, and also at a friend's house), all 3 computers had SDHC slots that work with SDHC cards. I tried the card under both Windows and Linux operating systems. The problem is definitely with the sleeve, not the computers.
2) The USB sleeve, mentioned as a bonus in the product description as well as in several Amazon reviews for the product, was not included in my order
3) The packaging of the card (as seen in attached photo) was just a plastic bag. I am not sure if the product is new or refurbished.
Since this product is sold by different vendors and fulfilled by Amazon, I need to mention that the seller of the package I received is "MemoryMogul/Progressive Interest Corporation".
My MP3 player does see the card, but because the SD sleeve is not working my computer does not. I was able to copy files to microSDHC card by attaching my MP3 player via USB cable to the computer, but this is not how I planned to use it, so I am not a happy camper!
Next time I will need a new microSDHC I will definitely seek another option, I will look for a product sold directly by Amazon not just fulfilled by Amazon. One item missing, one item not working, one item in questionable packaging... This is not the quality I've grown to expect from an Amazon purchase. I debated between 1 star and 2 stars ranking for this purchase, but since the microSDHC is working I decided 2 star is the right ranking for this experience.
You can find it on Amazon by following this link.
