This card has weird write speeds March 30, 2005

I'm really not sure that this card is "superfast." Running VFSMark on my Treo650, it scored 57% in the write test. The manufacturer claims that this has something to do with the VFSMark program, but then I ran another card speed test (Audacity Audio), and in the 32 bit test it rated a mere ... 81 Bytes/sec!

It also feels slower than my Panasonic 256MB card when I launch programs from it.

Good card but... January 16, 2005

I bought this card a month ago and found it to be pretty fast. I didn't give it five stars, because I had problems finding a portable USB reader that read it. It's not as universal as I thought. I tried SanDisk and a couple of other readers without any luck. You'll have to make sure you find a reader that will allow you to access the card.

I bought this 1GB card for my Palm Zire 31 Handheld mainly for storing and carrying around music (with the convenience of an organizer) for my rehearsals. The card works flawlessly and the write and read speed is absolutely amazing. PalmOne's documentation gives the impression that only PalmOne's cards will work on their PDAs and does not document that any other SD or MMC card would work. But I took a chance with this 1GB card and I saved big time as PalmOne's 512 MB card with way lower write speeds (not even specified by their specs) sells for $99. I got this card for $89.

Not compatible with Panasonic SV-AV100 camcorder November 26, 2004

The user guide for the SV-AV100 states that you should only use Panasonic SD cards -- but then every manufacturer makes statements like that. In this case though, there is a 'real' reason for this, as Panasonic SD cards need to support high-speed data transfer rates when recording in high-quality MP2 mode.

So I looked at this 'high-speed' ATP card, and the specs were the same as the Panasonic 1 GB SD card on the Panasonic website; since both seemed equivalent (except Panasonic was charging $499), and ATP stated 100% compatibility with all devices, I ordered this card.

Popped this card into my camcorder...and instantly got a screen message saying I can't record in MP2 format using this card.

Shouldn't be surprised -- I guess I'm stuck with the high-priced Panasonic-brand card. I would bet the ATP card is actually fast enough, but there is some check in the Panasonic camcorder to see if the user is using a Panasonic card...

I have 512MB and 1GB ATP card. I use them with my mp3 player and digital camera and I never had any problems. Before buying ATP brand I did research on the web and found that many people using other brands have problems such as file corruption, their devices don't work well when card is filled to capacity or card just dies. I bought ATP because it's professional grade, they even put that in writing on the package. It works great every time. I guess you get what you pay for.
