Unreliable out of the box [Posted on 2006-10-31]
I shot about 200 pictures with the Transcend the day I got it. Performance was nice and fast, and it definitely required less power than my older (128 MB) CF cards in my Nikon D70.
A few hours later, I connected the D70 to my computer, and I found that about 10% of the pictures were corrupt and unreadable. *RED FLAG*
After thoroughly testing this card thoroughly in my PC using several different compact flash reader devices, the card degraded rapidly. Soon, it stopped being recognized as a compact flash card.
I'm glad that it has a lifetime warranty, which I will try using. However, I'm no longer confident in the Transcend card. To me, reliability is MUCH more important than any other characteristic in my storage medium: when you lose that awesome picture due to media corruption, it can be pretty heartbreaking :(
