 I recommend this compact flash for it's capacity and value. November 18, 2008

This is a great product which I use on a daily basis. I have five of these compact flash cards and they all work flawlessly. The combination of quality, speed and price is phenomenal.
Good value all around. Used as an alternate laptop hard drive. November 17, 2008

Anyone that gets a 133x card instead of a 233x pretty much knows what they're getting. [...]
The rated 20MB/s speed is enough to use as an alternate hard drive with a CF-to-IDE adapter. Going from pressing the power button on my laptop to being fully loaded at the desktop (cpu idle, no processes loading) only takes 10 seconds! Battery life was also extended roughly 30 minutes to an hour, since not only is there no hard drive spinning, I've locked down most system writes to only the essentials as well.
Keep in mind I'm using WindowsXP Embedded features and a custom setup. Installing regular windows on this card and expecting it to run fine will cause it to lock up and stutter constantly, as well as completely trash your card in record time from disk writing. Unless you are willing to invest some serious time in to getting it running perfectly and have the technical know-how, I do not recommend trying this for the average user. I managed to burn out a few of the sectors on the card being careless and doing a live setup of XP to integrate the embedded features, instead of setting it up on a virtual machine and prepping the card, but that's the price I paid for being lazy and not too much harm done.
In retrospect, getting a 233x card would have been a much better option, but the 133x is definitely up to the task of turning my old laptop into a speedy web browser and portable music player (through Winamp Remote). Being out around town and stopping in places with free WiFi access was the driving factor, which meant boot times has to be as low as possible. [...]
For anything more than browsing though, definitely without a doubt invest in a higher-speed card if your budget allows.

No problems. Would buy from vendor again and am very satisfied
with the memory card.

Huge capacity, extremely fast read speed. Takes a while to write back the computer, but unless you need the pictures NOW it isn't a problem
 Purchased for use im my Civic. November 9, 2008

I purchased this for use in my 2006 Civic EX with Sat-Nav. Over all I am impressed with the quality of this product. It works just as well as any other brand but at a fraction of the price. The quality of the sound is excellent and it is awesome to not have 70 CD's cluttering my car. The only downfall to this product is that transfering 8GB worth of music onto a CF Card takes a rediculous amount of time Up to 9+ hours I did a lot of research on how to play the PC cards in Honda's with Sat-Nav and have found out a lot.
Before buying make sure you have a way to transfer music onto a CF Card. Many new computers come with Express card slots which do not fit PC Cards so make sure you have a PC Card reader or a CF card reader. (many photo printers accept CF cards)
Next You probably could get by with a 6GB card since the Honda Sat-Nav system will only read up to 99 folders and 999 Tracks. (if you exceed the 999 tracks. Don't worry it just won't display any above the 999)
Make sure the Tracks are named correctly. tracks names that look like.."Shake_It_Created by Digital_wizard.com" << will show up on the LCD in the car just how it is typed. So clean up the track names. so it looks more like "Shake It" (just much easier to read and use while driving) Also organize the albums into folders. Have the main folder be the artist and then inside that have each individual album.
When inserted into the car it may take up to a minute to read all the tracks on the card before playing.
Hope this helps.
