Transcend 4 GB CF card - opinions

[jevans64]

I just got a Transcend 4 GB 80x CF card from Newegg for $240 shipped. I have a 2 GB Lexar 80x CF that I paid $210 for a few months ago. These cards are nearly identical in performance with maybe the Transcend being a hair faster than the Lexar on my PC.

I don't know of any test apps. for the PC, but I did a timed test with a large file.

Both cards scored about 850 KB/s reading. The Lexar scored 384 KB/s writing and the Transcend scored 396 KB/s. I used a Ye-Data combo 3.5 floppy and card reader for the test.

The card worked fine in my x50v and showed about 3.98 GB free.

I just bought a sandisk 4 gig card from dell for $313 shipped so you got a much better deal than me dont know if the sandisk is any faster but it works great for my x5.
