are these reliable? how are they compared to other brands?

is the price difference for a more expensive brand worth it?

That's weird that Crucial would be selling flash memory, as they're a direct retail unit of Micron, who purchased Lexar last year..

well i would think they are good since they do make ram... memory is their nieche right?

I'm using a Crucial 256MB CompactFlash in my digital camera, it works great. As another poster said, Micron is the parent company of Crucial and Lexar... so it's NOT a no-name company. As long as the price is good, go for it.

yea... i really dont care about speed as i dont shoot in bursts too much with my dslr. im more inclined to grab one with better reliability.

thanks guys!

they work. They are not fast by any means. I've had one for the better part of 9 months and it works. That's pretty much all you ask of memory cards.

Flash memory is flash memory. Crucial provides lifetime warranty, if that means anything. I'm using a Crucial 2GB CF card, no problems so far.
