Customer Reviews

Large Capacity, Fast read time, great price
I bought two of these for a couple of old iPod mini's we had sitting around. Because these CF cards are directly compatible with the CF form factor that iPod uses, I figured it was worth the chance to try them. I had experienced complete success with installing a 16gb CF card, also made by the same company, and it works flawlessly in the iPod, so it seemed like an easy decision to upgrade the remaining two iPods even further.
Since I can now fit 30 gigabytes of music on the iPod mini, it not only allows a bigger selection, but longer battery life, mostly because the CF card uses a fraction of the energy of the old CF mini-hard drive (which was only 4 gigabytes).

This is winner all the way around. I don't know how well it works for a CF-slot camera, but the card has been working without a hiccup in the iPod for a couple of months now. It never skips, is immune to vibration, and can be filled to the maximum without any slowdown.

Appears To Have Stopped Working...
Initially, this card was slow to accept data. I forced it to store 2.5GB of data through a USB Compact Flash adapter. When finished, I placed it into my device and it read fine without any problems. 5 stars, good enough for me.

When it came to putting more data on it later, it was even slower, but I don't have the actual data, but the speed drop was definately noticeable.

NOW this card won't work in anything I tested it with. I will let it sit for a month and give it another try, but for now I will go with a known name brand like SanDisk.

Great price, but only 40x speed
This is a fairly "cheap" card. I haven't had mine for long, so I don't know how durable it is. I do know that the "Speedy" line (the yellow label) of A-Data compact flash cards are the slower 40x speed cards. That might be okay for digital cameras, but I intended to use it to store and play back mp3 files on my table pc. It'll play them, all right, but can't transfer fast enough to avoid the occasional glitch in the sound. If you need fast read/write speeds, don't get this one. Look for one that has 133x, 150x, or even 266x.
