I had sync'd up all the images in my PC earlier so I was not worried about the content but you can imagine - if you have just returned from a memorable vacation and if this happened, you could have lost all your picture-memories.I researched and found that most of the card problems go away if you format it again. Suddenly the camera stopped reading this card. Purchased this card, used it in my Digital Camera and it worked great for a few months. So I formatted the card through my camera and then it started working fine. The camera would read other cards but not this one. Even those 5-in-1 readers installed on PC/Laptops would not read the card. I don't remember I formatted it when I started using this card. Lesson Learned: Before using in your digital camera, format through the camera.
Just as expected, and the quality that Sandisk seems to always have, would recommend for anyone looking for CF storage.
but you are not going to find it because these stores do not tend sell the PC Adapters and these stores also like to sell the Ultra I or II etc (black colored) compact flash disks made by Sandisk also. For example, a 4.0GB Sandisk may not work with certain PC Adapters.
I also bought a related (12 in one) compactflash read/writer made by Sandisk from my local Staples store. I have a PC Card slot within my 2007 Honda CR-V.I bought this combo package (2GB SanDisk plus PC Adapter) which is being offered here at Amazon in order to transfer MP3 music files from my computer onto this particular compact flash drive.
You also need to make sure the PC Card Adapter is compatible with the Compact Flash Disk. I slipped in this particular compact flash card into the Sandisk read/writer and I was able to transfer the MP3 files to this CF disk.
I then put the compact flash card/disk into the PC Adapter (which is part of this combo buy) and then slipped it into the PC card slot within my Honda CR-V.The results are it works great.And based upon my reviewing other products you need to understand that these PC Card slots for the Honda vehicles need very specific Compact flash cards and PC Adapters. This combo buy (PC Card Adapter and related 2GB CF disk) does work.And the thing is you can try finding these two particular products in stores (like Staples, Officemax or Circuit City etc).
And from what I have reviewed these Ultra Sandisks and the Ultra PC Adapter mostly likely won't work in the Honda PC Card slot.But this 2GB Sandisk and related PC Card Adapter does work in the PC Card slot for the Honda CR-V.
Although this was a good buy on the surface they get you on the shipping.Order one or a hundred and it is still 6.90 each. Be sure and compare total cost when ordering.
SanDisk makes a quality product at a reasonable price. Never have had a problem with their products. 2 Gigs is plenty of room for most people.
