What has Brown done to me?
Pros: Like another reviewer stated, it looks good on the site.
Cons: The drive shipped on Dec. 23, according to UPS it was lost at the UPS sort facility in NJ. for four days. It's now Dec. 31 late afternoon and still no package. This is the third problem with UPS, it's FedEx from here on out.
Overall Review: NewEgg rocks, they always have in the past, I'm sure I see my drive after the new year sometime.
Slow
Pros: Hi capacity
Cons: This thing craws in my Canon 7D a single photograph in raw mode take over 5 seconds for the buffer to write. The same photograph parameters using a non UMDA name brand 30MB/s CF card takes just under 2 seconds to write.
Overall Review: I will be returning this card for a brand name I can trust.
DOA & the end of Newegg purchases
Pros: Previously I had good luck with Western Digital and Newegg...
Cons: DOA. When I asked why I had to pay for shipment back on a DOA, crickets.
Overall Review: Previously I had good luck with Western Digital and Newegg... Not this time! The drive was recognized but could not be partitioned, named, formated.. = DOA As I understood the RMA wording it's now up to the purchaser to arrange delivery back to Newegg on a defective item. I sent an email and received the automated email that someone would contact me within 12 hours.. Three days ago. I'll cut my losses and sent the drive back directly to WD.. However after many years of great customer service with newegg, it appears corporate policy and the bottom line have presided over customer service. I won't be back!
