This review is for the 128 GB card.
I have previously gotten both the 64 Gig and 32 gig versions of this card, one for a Tablet I want to add space to and the other for an MP3 player that can handle a mini SD card and I have been satisfied with the performance of the cards.
For the larger 128 GB card, I have a slightly different purpose. I have a 5.5 generation 80 GB I-pod Classic that recently started having hard drive problems.
So, I initially tried to get a replacement hard drive which was a bit difficult to do since I don’t think the drives are made anymore and you have to rely upon 3PS for the drives. The drive I purchased either was a refurb or not genuine and it didn’t work. Then I tried a ZIF interface SSD from a brand I was not familiar and it didn’t work either.
I then crossed my fingers and decided to go with an I-Flash dual SD adaptor card in combination with this 128 GB SD card as it was listed as being compatible with the I-Flash. This slide into the I-flash slot with no issue and I then connected the I-Flash to the I-pod ZIF cable and hoped. I-tunes restored the drive, the I-pod booted and started immediately syncing my music files to the card.
The card is fast, although I am sure not as quick through the I-pod interface as what this is capable but quick enough for a music player. It synced quickly and copied the files over with no issues. The I-pod behaves normally and plays the music just as it did with a hard drive in it. Sandisk cards have always been reliable and durable for me. Best yet, it comes with a lifetime warranty although I have never had one fail to test that warranty.
