Viking vs. SimpleTech CF?

catskillian85 · 03-09-03, 12:41 AM

Buy.com has both Viking and SimpleTech 512MB CF cards for roughly the same price, a little over $100 after a $50 rebate. Does anyone have an opinion as to which brand is better?

This link here is for CF speed tests. They do CF speed tests for most of the brands. Check it out here: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/mediacompare/

Great, thanks for the tip! I wound up going with the Viking card, which seems to be a bit faster than the SimpleTech in read time and only a hair slower in write time. I'm sure either card would have been fine, but I'm happy with my choice (which is due to arrive tomorrow).

Thanks again!

I bought a Viking 128MB CF to get me going just after I got my Ax. Have had no problems with it at all.
