Viking 1GB 33X Secure Digital Card - Question

[Roowah]

I saw this Viking 1GB 33X Secure Digital Card on Buy.com for $25.95 after $25 rebate.

Seems like a pretty good deal, but is Viking a reputable brand?

Thanks!

I am returning mine because the write speed is unbearable. By the way, mine is '50X'. Buy.com had this one on sale last week and then they changed the spec to '33X' a couple of days later. Still, it's good price for a decent card if write speed isn't all that important for you.

Thanks for the advice geff! :approve: Since the write speed is so slow, I think I'll pass on it. I do plan on loading movies and music onto the card, and I don't want it to take forever. I think it would be worth it to spend a bit more to get something I'm completely satisfied with.
