Transcend 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card 800x (TS32GCF800)

Have an old ipod mini from 2005 that's hard drive has been toast for years. I still wanted to use it again after realizing the old hard drive was unsalvageable. Looked up youtube videos, and found this one is a perfect replacement for those old apple HDD's. Plugged it in and it worked immediately, and I love the upgrade in storage. My ipod originally had 4gb of storage, now it has 32 and I can enjoy all of my favorite songs from the early 2000's that I grew up with since I've re-uploaded them. Very pleased with this purchase.

Overall I'm really happy with these cards. I am a professional photographer using a Canon 5diii, and I always record duplicate RAW files to both the CF and the SD slot. My raw files usually range from about 20-25 MB in size, and I often shoot short bursts. These cards are fast enough for my purposes (bursts of 5ish photos in a row without having to wait for buffering). They also download pretty quickly for me, though that will vary based on your computers RAM, etc. I have used these cards for the past year and haven't had any issues with card failures/corrupt or lost files either. I know there are faster cards out there, but they are also more expensive. I have found these to be reliable and fast enough for shooting RAW on the 5dii with an SD card recording simultaneously. Until Canon improves the speed of the backup SD slot, these are awesome cards for the money.

I bought this to load DOS on to it. Well Windows 98 (DOS) it worked great, then I was playing around and decided to load Windows 7 on it... Well that did not go so well. Transcend does not allow for bootable CF drive at this price range, so much for that idea. What about XP? sure enough Windows XP loaded on the FAT32 file system works! Little tricky, have to setup as raw Windows 98 boot files then install keeping as is (multi-boot, remove Windows 98 option later). What the amazing part is, I am running it on an old Athlon-XP CPU & MB and it is sooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaaast! Loading Windows XP, launching apps so fast.

These are excellent, reliable cards. My wife and I travel the nation shooting weddings, and these cards are our go-to. You can spend more on other brands, but the bottom line is that ALL brands fail at one point or another. If the card corrupts, stop using it immediately and run it through a solid data recovery tool (paid versions are the best). I don't think you'll have to worry about that with these cards, though. We shoot Transcend in CF and SD and they've never let us down!

Transcend compact flash cards are absolutely the best. Have never had one fail ever and they hold up extremely well. The price is always very good compared to Sandisk and lexar. Ive had several lexar and patrio cards fail on me in the past. Sandisk has a good reputation with me as well but the sandisk version is slightly more expensive. Cant go wrong with either brands honestly. Im a professional photographer and run thousands of images through my compact flash cards on a weekly basis and they hold up so they are 100% professional grade.

Thankfully I had another cards! I bought this card specifically to feel more secure with plenty of storage for weddings. Toward the end of the day it just stopped working. I took it out, put it back in and the images showed again. So at that point I switched to a new card.When I got home I tried to upload and again they wouldn’t show. I took it out, put it back in. They showed long enough to upload….then it failed again. And since then I haven’t been able to get the photos to show again. Scary for a wedding photographer!!This is the brand I typically use, so I’m a little thrown off. Maybe it’s a bad card, but now I’m nervous to order this brand.

Works on a Mark II and Mark III without any issues or slowdown

So far, I love this! Great speed; don't really need the next step up. Shooting on my 7D and I'll shoot the maximum 22 bursts in RAW and it'll load them up within seconds. I've also read previous reviews on Transcend CF cards and they seem to outlast all other brands. Don't be caught off guard by it's low price and old school design! This is a GREAT CF card!
