ATP ProMax 4 GB SD High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card Review

ATP has a solid product here with the SDHC ProMax memory card. The performance, particularly speed, is quite impressive and will easily hold its own against other, more expensive SDHC cards on the market. The included card reader, although poorly built, is well designed and an excellent bonus. It’s also good insurance that users will have a great experience because not all card readers are compatible with such large memory cards.

I would have liked to have used one of the higher capacity cards — 4GB is at the lowest end of the SDHC spectrum — just to see if performance begins to deteriorate with storage increases. Currently, 8 GB cards are on the market, but it would be interesting to check out a larger one, if not for bragging rights. Overall, ATP gets the nod for putting together a convenient bundle that should please users hungry for more memory without any compatibility issues out of the box.

Pros

  • Free card reader
  • Lots of storage space
  • Speedy performance
  • Relatively inexpensive

Cons

  • Poor card reader build quality
  • Currently limited to 4GB

Overall Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

    I have an ATP ProMax SDHC 4GB, which came with the Pentax K-r. About a month into using the card, I lost the “folder” on the card. I can only view my pictures in the camera (they seem perfectly fine). But I cannot load the pictures onto any computer. Can someone help me explain why and help me save my pictures onto the computer? Thanks!

      Try plugging your camera in and using the included software that came with your cam to import. Once that is done, make sure you always initialize/format your cards after every use. They can get weird when you don’t do that.
