    I'm trying to start my neighbor out with a flashcart (which we settled) now it's time for the Micro card SD whcih is not included with the Acekard 2i that he ordered so, I suggested Walmart and saw this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Wintec-Filemate-2Pack-4GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-with-SD-Adapter-Value-Bundle/16622574 and wondered if that would do. He's on a budget..like most of us...lol Thanks.

    Spend one more dollar and go the Sandisk route: http://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-2-Pack-4GB-MicroSDHC-Mobile-Memory-Card-Save-50-Off-and-Bonus-Case-Value-Bundle/19479135?findingMethod=rr

    I concur. You can cheap out on the flash cart but you do not want to cheap out on the MicroSD card. Go with Sandisk.

    They're not the best, but Sandisk tends to be more reliable than Kingston. Dropping the cash on something such as a Transcend card is the best, but the 2GB Sandisk I bought for my R4 two or three years ago is still working fine.

    I have a 16gb micro sd of a brand I don't even know. It works like a charm.
