Pros: It was a good price back on May 2009. Capacity was outstanding.

Cons: Before the year, my card started showing rare and random image corruption. Eventually, after many reformats with windows and my Nikon D300 reformat feature. I risked taking photos while I had an assistant back me up. Regrettably, the card came out with a blank folder and no images. I bought a data recovery software (MediaRecover) and rescued most images except the three most critical shots. What were the odds? I tried to get an RMA from Ridata and the form is not functional. I get the impression that it was designed purposely to discourage dealing with the problems. I sent an email to give them a chance. I will update if they bother to reply and make good on warranty.

Other Thoughts: I have bought three Transcend 8gb cards in the past with no problems. I own two Lexar Pro 8gb, three Transcend 8gb, SanDisk 4gb, TwinMos 2gb, just bought a Transcend 32gb to replace RiData 32, and countless cards since 2000. This has been the only one to fail. This is the first time since I 2003 that I have bother to write a negative review. I wish I did not have to.
