 One of the very few SLC SD cards February 16, 2010
G. Scotti
What most people are not aware of, is that there are two distinct Flash RAM technologies: one is SLC (single level cell) and the other is MLC (multiple level cell). Without getting into the technical details of these technologies, the consumer should know that MLC offers savings to the manufacturer, because MLC Flash can store more data on the same surface as SLC. However, this saving translates into a net loss for the consumer, as MLC have a rewrite cycle count of 5000-10.000, while SLC have above 100.000 (mostly considered to be around 1.000.000). If you only plan on saving your data just a few times on the same medium, whether it's MLC or SLC will not make much difference. However, if you plan on using it as an external storage in a netbook (such as, keep it in the SD adapter slot continually, and use it as an additional solid state drive, SSD), I would strongly recommend an SLC card.
However, manufacturers have abused the users' ignorance on just how much more reliable SLC is compared to MLC, and have introduced the MLC devices to increase their margins without informing anyone how much worse a deal they get. In this climate of high competition, almost all manufacturers of Flash devices have switched to MLC. Thus it is commendable to find a select few who still offer the option of buying an SLC device.
If you need a larger SLC storage and Compact Flash is an option, I recommend Kingston's Elite Pro CF line of cards - they, too, are made with SLC technology.
 Can't Store Files. Keep Having Errors. January 9, 2010
T. Lin (Calif USA)
I have purchased Kingston cards for years and enjoyed their quality. Recently got this card (blue sticker instead of brown) and my camera keeps saying "can't recognize file format". So I put it into the card reader and see what happens. Individual photos show valid file size but when you click the photo file, there is nothing to see. I have reformat this card many times using WinXP utility as well as my own camera.
I started reading reviews from amazon & new egg and found I am not the only one with error files. Someone commented that this problem is due to made in china or taiwan. I don't think it's a valid statement. I have SD cards made in china, taiwan, japan and no problems until I use this 50X Elite Pro.
Works well August 8, 2009

I have one in a cheap underwater camera and another in my Canon SD550. Never a problem with them. My DSLR takes CF though.
Nice SD card July 14, 2009
R. Cyr
I usually use SanDisc for my Nikon D40 and D60, but have some "regular" Kingston's as a back-up. I found the Kingston Elite Pro and decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed, they seem to write faster than my SanDisc Ultra's, and I get consistent performance with the read process. I have decided to make the Elite Pro my SD card of choice.
Able to keep up my Nikon D50 shots June 2, 2009

As they said, poor men pay twice. Don't buy the regular SD card for your digital SLR. Get the one supports higher write speed. I shoot RAW+JPEG with a Nikon D50, this SD card can keep up with my continuously rapid firing without a problem. I used a cheaper regular SD card before and I needed to wait for a couple of seconds after 2nd or 3rd shot. Highly recommended.
