Heads-Up... SD card problem with DARE...

Nov 29, 2008, 1:13 AM

There have been ongoing reports of the DARE locking up during access to the expansion card (reading or writing)... I have now narrowed down the combination that causes the problem...

After much testing with dozens of microSD 2GB, 4GB & 8GB / Class(2), (4) & (6) and with 4 DAREs, a clear problem has been found...

The DARE does not like 4GB and 8GB Class(6) cards... All other sizes and all cards of Class (2) or (4) do not cause any problems...

The worst offenders are the SanDisk 4GB & 8GB Class(6) cards (note that these are actually the fastest of all the cards tested) the Lexar, Kingston, P...

Look at the card carefully... you will see a small circle (it is actually a stylized capital C) with a number in it... it will be a 2, 4, or 6 (8's are just coming out)... this has to do with the guaranteed sustained write-speed of the card... This is an industry standard ONLY on SDHC cards (all SD cards larger than 2GB)...

Here's good info:
