Summary: Sandisk CF cards are mediocre
Review: Although a good steal at this price, I would recommend against this card if you were in dire need of speed. This card scored very poorly in the ratings of other cards. I initially thought it would be good to get in on a cheap deal, since this card is cheaper than the other ones. However, since I got the item, I've noticed that it's slower than my other cards, much slower. According to dpreview.com, this card only shows a 14x read (2,085 KB/s) and a measly 6x write (855 KB/s)! If you have one of the newer cameras, like the canon powershot s230, I'd recommend against it! Also, if you had a dell axim or ipaq, you'll notice the speed difference immediately when you try to upload programs on to the card!

Ok for people with like to wait, and people who just want storage not speed, but I'd pay the extra money just for the faster speeds offered by kingston, simpletech or viking.

If you like sandisk, their ultra series are much better.

Summary: Another Muvo2 user
Review: As other reviewers have said, this card works great in a Creative Muvo2 shell (which you can buy on eBay for around $40). Popped it in, formatted it, upgraded the firmware, and voila! A 512mb flash memory mp3 player for well under $100, given the rebate on this item.

Summary: Great for an iPAQ
Review: Got this 512MB card to complement my iPAQ 3835 with CF+ Expansion sleeve. I'm also using a Sandisk 128MB Secure Digital card. Write speeds are faster than the SD (especially during system backups!), and media (Mp3, video clips) plays faster off the CF card than the SD. A great, relable addition...

Summary: Great quality, lots of space!
Review: Great quality card with lots of space to hold hundreds of high-res pictures!

Summary: The one to Buy! Great Price/Performance
Review: Hi Folks,
I own several of these and am a professional photographer.
Don't let technical discussions of how fast or slow the card is steer you away from this deal. Speeds are influenced by many factors and I have never encountered any problems. The Sandisk's price was lowered again recently, and I'll be buying another.

Summary: Works Great
Review: I am using this card for my new camera, Olympus C505Z. Holding around 460 pictures. Read and write speed are ok. No Complaints so far and I am happy with the card.

Summary: This card will not work in your Imagemate SDDR_75 reader
Review: I bought a new sandisk 512mb CF and installed it in my Sandisk imagemate-SDDR-75 card reader and my card reader wipe put all my pictures and my card would not work after the imagemate SDDR-75 card reader installation. I ended puting it back in the camera and used the camera software to reformat it. I call Sandisk and they told me that;

Thanks for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.There is a compatibility issue with the SDDR-75 and the newer CF cards. We would normally offer an exchange for a reader that is compatible; however, your reader is no longer under warranty. We certainly apologize for any inconvenience. OUCH!
The following readers are compatible:SDDR-86- 6 in 1 reader SDDR-88- 8 in 1 reader SDDR-91- USB 2.0 CompactFlash reader

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Recommend other card
Review: I bought this card for my IPAQ 3955. Besides having slow read and write speeds, the realiability of the card is bad. Half of the time I am only able to use 3/4 of the available memory and than get writing errors. Save yourself the time and agony and buy a better brand like Viking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only need one memory card for the entire vacation!
Review: I bought this for my Canon S410, set to take pictures at the highest setting. It can take hundreds of pictures even at that setting and I don't ever have to worry about running out of memory and needing another card. I tend to take maybe 50 pictures a day on vacation and it's good for an entire week!
