Having had more than one CF card fail on me from two of the primary manufacturers, I decided to go for this one as I was moving up to an 8GB card and had read about its reliability. I've shot about 4,000-5,000 photos with it since August, never a problem. Super fast shooting to camera even shooting RAW on continuous setting for a sports shoot--not my usual subject. Super fast upload via my (Lexar) firewire card reader both to my iMac and to my MacBook Pro. 8 GB uploaded faster than 2GB from my other cards. Definitely recommend it.
