1.0 out of 5 stars Slow, malfunctioning piece of junk, June 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Memorex 32MB Compact Flash Card ( 32501032 ) (Personal Computers)

Even if this were the cheapest Compact Flash card available, I'd avoid it. I've tested it in many devices, including several digital cameras, my PDA, MP3 player, and my PC (with adapter). The MP3 player didn't treat it any differently than any other card, but my digital camera clearly operates more slowly with this card installed. When I loaned the card to my friend so he could take more pictures when he went on vacation, we were very nearly unable to transfer the pictures off the card. 3 card readers were unable to read the card, and I eventually had to install the camera's software and use its included cable to get the pictures off the camera. Another friend's camera wouldn't read the card AT ALL.

I thought the card was defective, so I returned it and got another one...with the same results. Some cameras won't read it, some read it slowly (some work with no problems).

If you don't have any other brands of CF cards to compare this one to, you may not realize how deficient it is. Trust me. I own 4 or 5 brands of memory cards, and have used them in over a dozen electronics devices, and the Memorex Compact Flash performed the worst.

I have the 128M version of this card. It does not work at all in my high-end digital camera. The card must be the slowest, oldest technology on the market.

...I finally just through it away.

1.0 out of 5 stars Memorex 32MB CF intermittent, May 26, 2004

By A Customer

I've used this in two Kodak cameras and various MP3 players, all have had frequent problems reading/writing to this card. I've sent it in to Memorex for a replacement and found the new unit with identical problems. Memorex still does not admit to there being any problem with their cards. Do not get this card!

Amazingly enough, I got frustrated enough to find a workaround when the CF fails to read. Simply remove it from your device for anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes, then reinstall it and see if you can now retrieve your data. Nine out of 10 times this works for me. Apparently, having it sitting idle with no power attached seems to temporarily resolve the problem. I've used it for a year like this and have always been able to play my MP3s...after a few minutes of waiting. Your mileage may vary.

Again, DO NOT GET THIS CARD!
