San Disk 16gig 60mb/s CF Card (UDMA 5 I think)

[Keith B]

I recently bought this card. It seems to perform very well but it rattles. I've never had a CF card that rattled. But the most advance card I had was Lexar 45mb/s UDMA.


Anyone have this card and can verify the rattle is normal?


Thanks in advance.

I have the same card, no rattles. Sounds like you might have a defective card. I wouldn't use it just in case it gives up the ghost in the middle of an important shoot.

I figured out what it is. The casing and connector portion are 2 different pieces and they don't fit snug so the connector is able to move ever so slightly. I don't think it would ever be a problem but I'm going to exchange it any way. I've seen elsewhere on the web this is not tat unusual. I think in the future I'll stick with Lexar.

Odd. No issue like that on my SanDisk UDMA (60 mb/s) cards. I'd definitely exchange it.

I have the exact same card and for me at least it doesn't rattle.

I also have the same card.


I prefer Sandisk to Lexar, but it's your choice.

I never really had a preference but this one just feels odd. I can actually pinch it and feel the casing flex. My Lexar cards feel very rigid.
