What is SDHC?

To support the higher capacity needs, SD cards are now requiring a different design. The new SD 2.0 specifications - which supports 4GB and up - is called Secure Digital High Capacity(SDHC). The SD Association has created and defined 3 speed classes to help you identify speed and performance capabilities/minimum requirements of SDHC cards and their SDHC host products. Details on the SD 2.0 specification: http://www.sdcard.org or SanDisk.com/SDHC

Cards address data (read and write) at numerous speeds. Many factors impede this performance. SDHC guarantees a minimum read and write speed necessary to handle recording high quality video and audio. The maximum card speed may vary, but you can always depend on SDHC cards to meet your SDHC host product's high quality performance requirements.

Customer Reviews

Works great !
It is really amazing to watch the prices of these cards drop while storage size increases. A few years ago, I spent more for a 128mb SD card! Couple of things, however:

1.This is a SDHC card, it may not work in an older camera.

2.The reader is black rather than white (as shown). If you wish to match a white MacBook, for example, check here:

Sandisk MicroMate SD/ SDHC Memory Card Reader (White, BULK Package)

Card and reader work GREAT, no problems.

Scan disc
The scan disc arrived soon after ordered and simplified transferring data from a memory card to the computer. No complaints at all.

This Card Reader is extremely excellent and great value
The SANDISK Micro Mate card reader is the best money you will spend for a SD card reader that also accepts SDHC cards!
It is pure and simple; to steal a album title from Joan Jett; No cords and it goes in one way into the USB port. It is fast, reliable and durable. I like the tiny green LED indicator. I can not recommend this highly enough.
While my old friend, who repairs camcorders; comments to me about the "compression" on SD cards, I have been using them in 2 different types of cameras for a year now and photography being my profession; I would say that they are a solid cards, also reliable and my images quite good.. BUT I DO NOT BUY THE CHEAPEST CARDS. I try to stick with SanDisk or other top manufactures.
I personally question using a DSLR with SD cards.. I choose to buy a Nikon with CF cards with high write / read speeds, and a fire wire reader.
