Experiences will vary, but I personally know of people that have had
problems with no-name memory including flash cards and getting the warrantee
enforced in a timely fashion was almost impossible. It isn't necessarily
that the no-name brands will be inferior, but if you have a problem, getting
the card replaced by a company like Sandisk for example is no problem.
Personally, I wouldn't place flash cards in the same category as underwear.
Big difference. <grin>

I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the lesser known brands
either. I don't worry too much about the brand of underwear I buy for
similar reasons.

: Bruce,

: I have found that most CF storage cards are type I. If they are type II
it

something

but
