I have an older industrial-grade router that boots off a compactflash card. There are very few places in my tech world where 8GB is enough, but for some of my tiny custom format routers and kiosk PCs, it's just right for a minimal Linux installation. I don't care about performance as the older machines can't take advantage of "extreme" modern speeds, but the functionality meets my needs and I can even swap it in to my Nikon D70 (which was limited to a "massive" $100 4GB Microdrive when I first got it).If you need CF for a legacy camera, mini-PC, router, or even some photo frames, this is a good choice and a reasonable value.

I bought this specifically for Windows 95 in an old Pentium computer. The IDE bus is just too slow to benefit from a faster drive and spinning disks aren't reliable for that age.THIS solved my problem, giving me speeds a solid state drive offer (over IDE via adapter) and the storage space needed without wasting any as I would have had I gone with a SATA SSD and converted it to IDE.

My old card kept giving me errors. This camera was given to me by my dad so I still like using it as a back up. And I'm sentimental and don't want to let the camera go. Popped it in and it worked great.

It is what it's supposed to be.

It is not even close to 120 MB/s or 60 MB/s as stated in the description. I do not know how something has two different read speeds. I have the 1 GB, 2 GB, 4GB, and 8 GB CF cards of this brand, this one is 3rd slowest. The CF label says 20 for minimum write speed and the packaging shows 10.Test finished without errors.You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.Writing speed: 13.0 MByte/sReading speed: 23.3 MByte/sH2testw v1.4------------------------------------------------------------------------------CrystalDiskMark 8.0.6 x64 (C) 2007-2024 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World: https://crystalmark.info/------------------------------------------------------------------------------* MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s]* KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes[Read] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 24.318 MB/s [ 23.2 IOPS] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 24.524 MB/s [ 23.4 IOPS] RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 13.126 MB/s [ 3204.6 IOPS] RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 12.552 MB/s [ 3064.5 IOPS] [Write] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 10.475 MB/s [ 10.0 IOPS] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 12.367 MB/s [ 11.8 IOPS] RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 0.022 MB/s [ 5.4 IOPS] RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 0.027 MB/s [ 6.6 IOPS] Profile: Default Test: 512 MiB (x9) [E: 0% (0/7640MiB)] Mode: [Admin] Time: Measure 5 sec / Interval 5 sec Date: 2025/01/08 21:17:37 OS: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 [10.0 Build 26100] (x64)

I'm using this 8 gig compact flash card in my Nikon D200. With the Raw NEF setting for picture quality this works out to 470 pictures. Overall responsiveness is good with no unexpected lag based on the burst picture capture settings.

Not much to say about this -- it works in my circa 2006 Sony A100 DSLR and my circa 2003 Sony F828 and Canon PowerShot G5. This card feels much more solid than modern SD or microSD cards, but that's not unique to this card; it is just how CompactFlash cards are.The 8GB card I got is too high capacity to work with my circa 2000 Canon PowerShot G1 and some older cameras. Be warned that even 1GB is pushing what some older cameras can work with, and even ones where it works will often display "999" for the number of images that can fit on the card because the actual number would require four digits and the camera designers never expected that to happen. ;-)If your old camera can fit the thicker CompactFlash cards, there are some alternatives that have a slot that lets them act as an adapter for an SDHC card, and that's more convenient because there are lots more modern readers for SD cards to go into your PC. However, lots of cameras can't take the thicker CompactFlash cards or can't deal with the higher capacities of SD cards, so this definitely has a place. Pricing seems high compared to same-capacity SD cards, but is actually very competitive with other options for this obsolete storage medium.In case you're wondering why anybody who has modern mirrorless cameras including an awesomely better Sony A7RV would ever want to mess with those ancient cameras, well, it isn't for better handling or image quality. There is some coolness factor in simply being able to make old tech live again, but there are actual technical reasons I still (very rarely) will use some of these ancient digital cameras. The A100 is a DSLR using a quite decent APS-C CCD as opposed to a CMOS sensor, the F828 has a NightShot facility that allows the unmodified camera to capture raw full-spectrum (visible + NIR) shots with a fast lens that covers the equivalent of 28-200mm without problems like NIR hot spotting, the Canon PowerShot G1 is one of the few cameras using a CMYG color filter array rather than RGB, etc.
