I have used this new CompactFlash for a couple of times only. It is much faster than my previous 256 MB SanDisk CompactFlash bought several years ago. I cannot comment on its quality yet; but my 256 MB one is still working fine, I assume this one should have similar quality because same brand name.
Product arrived on time and have had absolutely no problems with it what so ever.
I bought this card because it came with the Rescue software and I had a card on which I had pictures that would not load onto my laptop. I am very happy with my purchase. With the Rescue software I was able to load those pictures. The card is an extra card for my camera. I had downloaded free software to try and 'rescue' my pictues, but with no luck. San Disk Rescue software did a great job.
I didn't think the memory card would have much to do with taking pictures but after seeing how fast pictures are written to the card i realized the advantage of this card. It was a little pricier than i expected to pay for 4 gb but i think in the end the speed makes up for the price. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to purchase a memory card. The only downside is that my Olympus SLR will not let me take panorama pictures with this type of card so i'll have to get XD (i think).
I bought this flash card to revive my Palm LifeDrive, whose internal Hitachi MicroDrive had died, with the telltale clicking death rattle.It turns out that MicroDrives and CompactFlash cards plug into the same socket.Ordinarily, this procedure will void your warranty, but my LifeDrive was already long beyond that, so I had nothing to lose.So, carefully following the instructions on some PalmOne forums, I disassembled the LD, removed the dead MicroDrive, installed the operating system image on this CompactFlash card, plugged it in, then reassembled the LD.I charged the battery, which had already long been run down as a consequence of the death rattling drive, then turned it on.Within a minute, I had completely brought the LD back to life, resurrection, if you will.Not only that, but this little repair actually makes the LD significantly better than when I bought it new.I now get about twice the battery life as before; the access the CompactFlash is so much faster than the sluggish MicroDrive; it shaves a few grams of weight off the LD; and it is also far more shock resistant.This card is a bit more expensive than most generic CF cards, but you get better transfer speeds, plus this card is designed to be weather resistant, which would be helpful with my LD, since I carry it in my shirt breast pocket, and perspiration can cause problems with less durable components.The card arrived within a week after I ordered it, which turned out to be a full week less than estimated.Excellent.
