Summary: Sandisk Ultra II 256 MB cards really are faster
Review: I purchased this product to use in a Sandisk Firewire CF card reader in order to transfer data files between the home and the office. I normally use 100MB Zip disks, but the transfer rate using a USB Zip250 for a 30 MB file is 3 min. 19 sec. which is incredibly slow. I had a Sandisk 128 MB CF card, but using the Firewire CF card reader, a 30 MB file still took 1 min. 9 sec. to transfer so I bought the Sandisk Ultra II 256 MB card since it was supposed to have a higher transfer rate. It did. It allowed the transfer of the 30 MB file in 15 seconds which is 4.6 times faster than the non-ultra Sandisk CF card and 13 times faster than a 100MB Zip disk in a USB Zip250 drive. I was pleasantly surprised. I would buy another one to use in my digital camera since I am pretty sure it will function faster than the non-ultra Sandisk CF card I use now. Plus, the Ultra II card was no more expensive than the non-ultra card and the Sandisk Ultra II CF card was comparably or better priced compared to CF cards from other manufacturers.

Summary: Speedy!
Review: I recently replaced a lost card with the Ultra II. Both card read and write speed in the camera improved noticeably. You should notice a significant improvement in performance if you use a PCMCIA adaptor or USB2 card reader to access the photos from the card.

Summary: A must for 4MP digital camera
Review: I use it with a Minolta Dimage S414. The card is noticeable faster then the 16MB standard card included with the camera. I can recommend this card. The 256MB capacity allow to store cca. 117 pics in 2240 mode with fine resolution.

Summary: Very Fast
Review: I wanted a fast flash memory card. This guy is it. Compared to a "standard" Sandisk 256MB, this Ultra II is 5 times faster. Here are my results copying (writing) a 36 MB file to the card: 34 sec for the standard card and 7 sec for the Ultra II. Reading from the card was even faster. Great product. And the Amazon price seems very good too, based on my limited searching.

Summary: CF Disk Error .... Fixed ...
Review: I'm just stunned ... I thought the SanDisk Ultra II I bought was defective as my Canon S50 DigiCam seemingly w/o reason had a disk error !

But Nooooo ... much to my surprise the SanDisk Ultra 256 card is not defective but operator error resulted in corrupted disk format ...
I found a free demo tool that revealed all the photos are still intact ... and, after purchasing the tool, I recoved all but a part of one photo!

Here is the s/w I used: (http://www.lc-tech.com/photorecovery.htm)

FWIW: Be very careful when using a CF Reader and swapping CF cards ... be sure to do an eject and don't manually pop a CF card out and pop another in!

Summary: Isn't worth the premium.
Review: I'm not sure there's a noticeable speed difference for me in either taking pics or in accessing the card as a drive (including image transfers). There is a price bump to consider. Currently, up-to-date CF memory goes for about a quarter/meg. Therefore, there is at this time a 20% premium for speed you're unlikely to notice.

Summary: Huge -- great for Pro use.
Review: In the course of producing my instructional videos for adults such as "New Sex Now" and "Goddess Worship" I need to take lots of digital photos for marketing purposes. The disk I use in my Canon digital camera is the SanDisk Ultra II 256 because it is HUGE and allows me to keep clicking away seemingly forever. We even took it on our 3-week honeymoon and never ran out of room! This one is awesome.

Summary: Fast Delivery
Review: Just wanted to let people know that I placed an order, and received my flash card within 7 days of the order. So take advantage of the price, and it seems they have stock again. Have just started using the new card and have had no problems (Canon A75).

Summary: High quality FAST memory card!
Review: These cards are a GREAT upgrade for any digital camera! Most digital camera only come with a small memory card, 32MB seems common. I always recommend getting an upgraded memory card immediately upon purchasing a digital camera - It makes such a huge difference!

This particular card is especially nice. It's got a very fast write speed, which is more important than you might think! The better the write speed, the faster the picture you take it put on the card. The faster that is, the faster you can take another picture!

Overall I've been extremely happy with this card. It's fast and reliable. I highly recommend this card, you won't be disappointed.
