I don't see a sticky here to report non-working SD Cards so making this thread. I have an SD card that is not recognized at all. It's inconsequential to me, but thought you may want to add to the wiki. It's a Transcend SDHC 8GB. See attached pics.

Transcend is usually OK, so my first question would be: Does it work in an SD-card reader on a PC, and does that have to be SDHC-rated?

Funnily enough I have a Transcend 8GB card which looks exactly like that, and it's not reliable for me either. It's recognised but I have corruption problems with it. Maybe there's an unusually large number of counterfeits of that particular type?
(I have a few other Transcend cards which are fine, including a 16GB card which contains my main Minimig installation.)

Likely - Sandisk, Lexar and Transcend are big brand names that have a high probability for fake products.

I have one of these too - and it works fine
The thing with SD cards is that it can be very random whats inside - which is why even the list in the wiki isn't of much use when looking for one that works (it can only tell which exact batches may be problematic)

Yes it works fine in my PC with SD card reader. I've had this SD card for some years and have used it in a number of devices, including Windows based PC. I even used Diskpart to 'Clean' and start from scratch, no change.

The last reply was more than 365 days ago, this thread is most likely obsolete. It is recommended to create a new thread instead.
