Ridata CF Cards

Just wondering what your thoughts are on the Ridata 80x pro CF cards, normally I just use Sandisk Ultra II.

never heard of them. i'd stick to the sandisk ones personally.

I'd stick with sandisk or kingston.

I have several Ridata cards. They're very reliable. My only complaint is returns for warranty. I couldn't find a U.S. distributer, so I had to send it to the store. It took longer for a replacement that way.

Ridata is my second favorite card behind Sandisk Ultra. I have several in CF and SD,. I use 1GB and 2GB.

They are not no names,. they were in fact one of the early card manufacturers and one of the first with very fast cards. Excellent stuff that was eclipsed by the Sandisk and Lexar marketing.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone, I ended up grabbing one anyways before waiting for replys lol. It's cheap so thought I'd like to give it a try anyway, from a few searches they seem good value and for me about half the cost of Sandisk. Seems they should be fine, strange out of all the brands I've tried I've never used this one. If I like it I may grab several more, never hurts to have a few more spare

Ridata is the only brand I have. Five @ 512 meg (Not too keen to commit so many shots to a 1gb card) and several smaller. They have performed well, apart from 1 which the South Australian dealer promptly replaced - I had owned and used it for a mere 18 months at the time. Here is the link
