1. Fast as ever!! This 300x is faster than the Sandisk extreme III (30m/s version) <--costs almost 25% less 2. from Amazon.com This card is almost as fast as the Hoodman 300x card, and a great deal cheaper. It's perfect for continuous-drive shooting on a large-sensor camera. from Amazon.com Pros: Best price for 16GB Compact Flash UDMA memory in CanadaWorks great with my Canon 5D Mark II I can store up to 560 RAW images Cons: none so far Other Thoughts: I haven't done a speed test but shooting HD video was no problem. from Newegg.com A good deal cheaper than the Lexars and SanDisks, but they work great, no issues so far. I've been using Transcend SD and CF cards for some years and they've been very reliable. Performance is very good. from Amazon.com Buffer dumps fast on a D3/D300/D700. It even dumped faster than any of my other cards in a D2x. And it's 16gb. Cons: It's not 32 or 64gb. from Newegg.com Using nLite to do a fresh XP MCE install (no pagefile, no prefetch, reduced overall size to ~500 MB) and this CF card with SYBA CF to 44-pin IDE adapter (newegg item N82E16812186050) I have reduced my laptop boot time from 3 min 56 sec to an amazing 36 seconds!RoadKil's Disk Speed reports 0.26ms access time, 48.33MB/sec peak read, avg. linear read of 30.03MB/sec, with an overall "Score" of 31,103.9Compare that to my (freshly defragmented) OEM 4200 RPM drive results of 18.10ms access time, 33.02MB/sec peak read, avg. linear read of 21.15MB/sec, with an overall "Score" of 259.2I guess if I had it to do over again I *might* consider a 5400 RPM HD with 10x the capacity for about half the price...or a 266x card...or a 300x card with lower capacity... I guess I have a little buyer's remorse but it's STRICTLY because of the price and slight lack of research on my part. from Newegg.com Windows XP Device Manager, for the IDE Controller, on the "Advanced Settings" tab, shows it running as UDMA5. (Using the PA-CF18Z ZIF to CF adapter.) Cons: A little pricey, but I could have waited for the price to come down. Not available in 32 GB. (But I probably could not have afforded it anyway.) Other Thoughts: Hope they come out with a 32 GB version, once the prices come down. from Newegg.com My systems pre-dates SSD technology, so that could possible be the delay cause, as most chipsets are not geared for SSD drives. Windows boots in 7 seconds, apps insta-pop if you used them one before. Cons: Price is still high for 300x+ CF devices. Other Thoughts: All-in-all I plan to keep this CF in my laptop and use a 250GB standard drive in the 2nd HDD bay for added storage. from Newegg.com Cons: UDMA Mode 5 requires 3.3 volts. If you're connecting this card via a CF-IDE adapter, you may be stuck at 5V, which will limit the card to UDMA4. Verified this through Transcend tech support. Other Thoughts: I'm using the Addonics AD44MIDE2CF adapter. from Newegg.com i just love it when a company puts out a better product for less money than the competition. from Amazon.com
