Has anyone of you ever used PQI or A-Data flash cards? Or bought from this store? I've never heard of either, so I don't know if the deals are as good as they look. They're listing great prices & even better speeds in flash memory. Below are some of the prices & the direct url's.

I've only used Sandisk and Lexar and never had any problems ::knocking on wood::, but I keep reading horror stories about multiple failures in some brands (including those). I have no idea if there's a limit of memory for my iPaq 2210, but so far I'm using a 2GB CF and a 1GB SD with no trouble, ditto for my readers.

RT

CF 2GB 100x $58 (Sandisk $76)
CF 4GB 100x $110 (Sandisk $155)
CF 8GB 100x $200

SD 2GB 150x $50 (A-Data $53)
SD 4GB 150x $100 (A-Data $90)

I have a 2GB 60x AData (SD) card. It's not too bad. I do find it's slower on writes than my Lexar 32x cards. Not sure about read speeds. This is of course non-scientific observation. I got it for $50 something from Newegg, I believe, a month or two back.

I've used PQI cards without any problems. I'm not familiar with your seller though. Try Newegg if your worried about them.

I'm using an Adata 4GB in my Acer, and it's working great. I've got nothing to compare it against, but so far i'm very happy with it.

Thank you all for the info. I'm going to check prices at other stores, see if they're comparable. The reviews are barely so-so, but then Amazon is just a little better & my experience with them has always been good (so far). We'll see.
