Anyone using Transcend CF cards?

[Alan]

A little update on a 32Gb Transcend 400X that went belly up a while ago.


I sent it to Transcend, based in California, with the request that it be sent to Hong Kong. There, the technicians would attempt to recover the files from it. They said it would take 3 months or more to accomplish this. If they couldn't recover the files (no guarantees on that), they would still replace the card with a new one.


I recently got an email from them, stating that, unfortunately, they could not recover any files. I received a new card.


At the moment, it's sitting inside it's plastic case, collecting dust. I doubt I will use it. I don't have a level of confidence to overcome my suspicions that this new card might also go belly up (the first one did, in less than a month, and I handled it with great care).


Just a little fyi.

<span style="color: #333333;"]<span class="field-item-description"]Well Alan that choice is certainly your prerogative. I had a Transcend 16G 133 UDM card and lost hundred of shots on it twice. The first time I though that I had screwed up the down loading so I used it again only to find out that in fact it was the card not me. I contacted Transcend, scent them the card they tried to retrieve info from it with no success. They sent me a new one free since they all but the industrial have a lifetime warranty and have put over 5000 shots on it with no problem. I understand being gun shy, but just remember all brands of card have this happen. It is not Jermayne to Transcend.
