Customer Review: Bad product!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this SD card from J&R Music last week. I thought I would get the authentic card from PNY so I just used the card with my camera and threw the package away. A couple days later, I took the card out to put all the picture in my PC and realized by that time, the card is only 1GB. I contacted the customer service department and they said they won't deal with me unless I have the original package (which I don't anymore). They adviced me to contact the PNY store. So I did a little research and found that the exact same card is from Toshiba (Model:SD-MO2G) and J&R or whoever their suppliers are just put a PNY label on it to sell it as a PNY. If you don't believe me, just type Toshiba SD-MO2G on Google and the picture is exactly the same except for the little lable. I really don't care if the card is made by Toshiba or PNY as long as it is 2GB, but it isn't. And that would make it really tough to recover your loss from any party (PNY, Toshiba, or J&R). I already contacted my credit card company for a dispute. Little advice for everyone, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PARTICULAR CARD AND J&R STORE and also check the card validity with your computer as soon as you get the item.Customer Review: AVOID THIS SD CARD AT ALL COSTS - THIS IS NOT A GOOD DEAL!

I bought this SD Card on sale thinking I'd just saved a couple bucks, but the very first time I used it, it crashed my computer and broke my camera. After taking the pics I wanted, I inserted it into my computer, which instantly started acting strange - slowing down and not recognizing that there was a card inserted. So I tried to restart my computer and it wouldn't restart. I had to take it in to get it fixed, costing me $100 for the technician to tell me it was the SD card. Also, the camera I used it in, a Nikon D80 that I just bought 5 months ago, is now being shipped back to the manufacturer for repair - after using this card, the display monitor wouldn't turn on and the camera wouldn't record any pictures on any of my other SD cards. Next time, I'll spend a little extra money to buy something of quality, especially when using it with my expensive equipment.Customer Review: It was great while it lasted

I bought this card and a Magellan Explorist XL GPS from Amazon back in March or April. I plugged it in and it worked great ... until the other day when my GPS wouldn't start. I removed this card and the GPS started just fine.
Since there is (apparently) no software in the GPS to format the card, I decided to put it in my camera which does have format capability. The camera simply rejected the card as unusable.
Fortunately, I have a backup of all my map files and can hopefully restore them when I get a real card. I'm just glad I wasn't using it in my camera while on vacation.
Now I'm worried about my camera card which is also a PNY but the 1 GB version.
I think I'm going SD card shopping tomorrow.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY...This card failed within the first week!

I purchased this PNY 2GB Optima sd card within a package deal including a camera, case & flexpod. My teenage son took many photos with it after he recieved it for Christmas & then within a week it quit and a message came up that the disc needed to be reformatted. We tried it in the computer to download the pictures too but it would not work, and again needed to be reformatted. We were very disappointed that he lost forever, so many photos that he took during the holiday. I do not recommend this risky product to anyone and I'm planning to return it for a different brand.Customer Review: Don't Buy This.

Please don't be fooled by it's inexpensiveness. I am a victim of it. I already bought this card and within 2 weeks I started getting read and write errors. I formatted the card and it now has 2 MB of bad sectors. Unlike the other reviewer I did had 2 GB to begin with. But I think it is bad quality product and thats why it is dearth cheap. It is not at all reliable. Now I am contacting their customerservice to replace this card for me.
