Price Watch: 4GB SDHC card, $6.99 shipped

4GB of storage for 7 bucks?! At that price, buy two!

(Credit: Kingston)

Not every day offers $99 iPhones and $25 TV tuners. Sometimes, the deals are small and unexciting, the items utilitarian.

So it is today: Newegg has a 4GB Kingston SDHC memory card for $6.99. No rebates, no shipping charges.

That's the lowest price I've seen yet on a 4GB card (though only by $1). If you found a new digital camera under the tree last month, you definitely need high-capacity storage to go with it. A 4GB card can store about 800 10-megapixel snapshots or 60 minutes of video.

And, hey, there's nothing wrong with packing a spare card, in case you spot, say, Bigfoot. Or Paris Hilton. Or Bigfoot at a club with Paris Hilton. Could happen.

This isn't some no-name brand, either. All Kingston memory cards come with a lifetime warranty. Thus, this is pretty much a no-brainer for anyone who needs extra storage. A 4GB SDHC card for 7 bucks may be boring, but it's still a helluva deal.

I just bought 2 of these exact cards from Newegg last week for the same price shipped. Unfortunately, one of my two cameras doesn't support the sdhc tech. (I forgot to check) so now I have 8gb for one camera. Not a big deal and definitely not worth paying the return shipping.

Good deal, but you can actually get an 8gb, shipped, 5-star rating for $13: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208293. Five more bucks for twice the storage -- nice!

Not long ago, meritline.com had a PQI 4GB MicroSDHC card for the same price. Free shipping, lifetime warranty. I bought a couple for stocking stuffers, and they're good for cameras or phones, etc. Can't argue with any of these prices!

I'm in for two with my new Nikon Coolpix, nice find.

Nuts. I paid more for that for the burrito I just had.

Also, the 1GB card I *STILL USE* was about $400.

I just bout a Transcend 4GB SD card at eCost.com for $4.99. That's 4GB SD, NOT SDHC. Regular SD is compatible with most of my existing SD devices, while SDHC isn't.

Ah, but how much did you pay for shipping? In my experience eCost charges a minimum of $10, even on tiny items like this.

I only buy Micro SD cards. Only my computer can use SD cards, PS3 uses Mini SD, my phone and DS use Micro SD cards, and my PSP uses Sony Memory Sticks. I plan on getting a single large capacity SD card to store music and video that I can use on any of those devices. Maybe 1 day I will get that perfect set up I've been waiting for.

Man, y'all are better at this than I am! Okay, beat this: Meritline has a 4GB microSD card (with SD adapter!) for $4.95 shipped! Blows my original deal out of the water.

So now we no longer need to sit and burn DVD-Rs anymore. Just store it all on these cards. Though a clean DVD-R can be bought a cheaper price; sitting awaiting the burning process, then having the worry about the fragile DVD surface is making these little cards quite the bestest solution for storage.

Frys.com has an 8gb SDHC Kingston for 12.99 with Free Shipping.

eCost.com shipping was $9.50, Rick- but that was for all the items I bought, and those totaled about $50, so $9.50 sans sales tax was palatable to me. Again though, biggest thing that appealed to be was the the 4GB card I bought is regular SD, and I find those somewhat hard to find at that capacity.

This is a Class 4 card. How fast is this? Would you want to get at Class 6 card (faster card) instead? Like this 8GB SDHC Class 6 card also from Newegg also with free shipping??? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134483

It's now $8.99 instead of $6.99... :(
