With the price of the 8gb being so little and the the sd format so small. You could buy 2 or 3 of the 8GB and put music on one and photos on another. Load up a full DVD Vob and have a great portable movie player. The Resolution of the eee pc is 800×480 and the Resolution of a DVD movie is 720×480 I think it would be great for the back seat of a airplane tray.

Is this news worthy? I was just looking for an extra Class 6 SDHC for my EEEpc, and Newegg has a Patriot 16GB Class 6 card for $94.99.

According to this website, the Patriot class 6 cards are twice as fast as the Kingston class 6 cards.

I wound up ordering the Patriot 8GB Class6, cause it’s big enough and should be almost as fast as the internal SSD storage.

Mike, as far as I know the Class is determined by the minimum transfer speed the card is capable of. Class 4 is a 4 MBps min, Class 6 is a faster 6 MBps min, etc… The cards themselves are physically the same to the best of my knowledge.

Are all SDHCs one standard? Class 4 the same as any other, pin-wise?

I may be mistaken, but it seems SD cards are progressing more quickly than SSD’s. As per JK’s post earlier this week, the 64Gb SSDs OEMs are just becoming available. Given the larger form factor, should SSD capacity be further along by now?

IIRC a lot of the newer DSLRs support SDHC, and at the very least Canon’s more recent Powershots support SDHC, too. Casio cameras that were introduced in 2007 definitely support SDHC; not sure about 2006 models.

Have most digital still cameras been upgraded to accept a card like this? I’d hate to buy a cam and then find out I’m stuck with the upper limit of SD or lower limit of SDHC.

Try it in your Eee, and if it works, I’ll get one for mine. ;) That way, I won’t make a $$$ mistake.
