User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Not bad at all…
Bought this to breathe life into an old iPod Mini. The microdrive died and I discovered that a CF card is basically the same thing, just flash memory vs a moving disc. While this card might not be the fastest, it works perfecty as storage media for my iPod Mini. It must be fast enough to handle me flipping through my playlists, because I haven’t encountered any issues with it lagging yet.
3 Stars Good but not for HDSLR
This is a very cheap and good card but not to be used for HDSLR or DSLR. The reason is very simple that this card is too slow. Let me explain this in a simple way the write speed of this card is 133x or 20mb/s (Value of X = 150 Kbps, so 133 times 150kbps) should be good enough for a general use in a DSLR with burst of 3 or 4 fps shooting with no HD video..
I bought it for Canon EOS 7D with 8fps shooting and capable of recording True HD Video at variable frame rates. This card is fine till it is around 3-4 GB full but beyond that the buffer gets filled up and the camera will display “Busy” massage after each shot or Video recording.
If you want to use your card for HDSLR then my suggestion would be to buy at least a card with UDMA capabilities and or 30mb/s+ speed to be on a safer side.
5 Stars Best Value Price
Excellent, best value/price, very fast and reliable.
I highly recomend this product and the seller. Well packed, on time delivery and no surprise charges.
2 Stars Slow! Can’t use it all
This card is fine for normal use, just don’t fill it more than 50% or else it becomes EXTREMELY slow! Sports, kids playing, out of the question. Holidays, portraits, fine art (which I do) should be fine. But really, a better option would be to get a couple 4 or 8 gb cards instead of this one. Cheaper and better reliability and speed. I kind of regret getting this card. Size isn’t everything. Performance is MUCH more important.
4 Stars Good Card
Lots of space, works fast enough to do 1080p video on my canon, perfectly reliable so far.
