Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Take digital pictures faster than you ever thought possible. Introducing SimpleTech ProX CompactFlash with Xcell multi-tasking technology. Snap pictures at a blazing 4MB/s write speed. ProX uses less power than other flash memory cards, so your camera battery lasts longer. Includes free PhotoRescue image recovery software.

Engineered to optimize camera performance, the ProX is twice as fast as standard cards. And the ProX provides high-speeds for all digital cameras and doesn't require any software upgrades to the camera. Multitasking Technology enables fast, sustained write performance by allowing concurrent read, program and erase operations to multiple flash media integrated circuits. Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA) allows instant data transfer from the buffer to the flash media, which eliminates microcontroller overhead associated with traditional, firmware-based approach. Wear Leveling increases longevity by spreading the digital flash data writes across least used memory address sectors. Power Management Unit (PMU) minimizes power consumption by putting circuitry that is not in operation into sleep mode, saving valuable battery power.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fast, July 2, 2003

This review is from: SimpleTech STI-PRO/512 ProX High-Speed 512MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)
I was skeptical at first that this CompactFlash Card would 'really' be 'high speed', but our own test confirmed that my Canon PowerShot S50 would be ready for the next shot in one second as opposed to the almost 3 seconds we were experiencing with the small card that comes with the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very smart choice, November 24, 2003
This review is from: SimpleTech STI-PRO/512 ProX High-Speed 512MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)
I have two of these cards. One for my Canon S230, and one for my Ipaq. The high speed read/write speeds are most impressive. It allows that camera to be ready for the next picture before I have it framed. And the low power usage makes it possible to get many more pictures out of one charge with the camera. Canon says you can get about 475 shots out of a charge with the s230, I have managed to get as many as 520 shots on one charge! The cards have never failed on me. Even with the abuse of being thrown in my pack when I go mountain biking, they are always perfect!
The card in my Ipaq holds a lot of files, many MP3s, and MPEG videos. I am able to play back compressed 320x240 videos from it on my Ipaq pretty well. Both cards have been very good to me!
This card is a perfect blend of speed, reliability, power consumption, and price. Strongly considering buying another.

4.0 out of 5 stars Priced too high for the speed, January 4, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: SimpleTech STI-PRO/512 ProX High-Speed 512MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)
The card seems to work fine, but with a Canon S40 4 mp camera, the speed of taking pictures is no better than my Lexar 12x 512mb compactflash card. Save your money and go for an equivalent but lower priced card.
