I used mine in my camera for a week or two and then it caused problems. So I threw it in the Axim and started doing some heavy reads/writes and was able to make it fail within 2 hours.. replaced it with another scamdisk and for general use it was fine for about 2 days. Then started giving the odd problem. So more heavy reads/writes and it also failed. Replaced it for ANOTHER scamdisk and started straight into the reads/writes. Within 3-4 hours it was toast. Replaced it with a Lexar and ran the same tests for a good 6-7 hours. No problems. Been fine since.

Is your Scamdisk made in Japan or Taiwan?
