When A-DATA asked me to check out a couple of their newer flash products, I was a little reluctant to take them out in the field. They simply don’t have the name or the mindshare that a SANDISK or a LEXAR has when it comes to high performance and reliability. Also, you really can’t tell if a card will be good or bad simply by running a few benchmarks on it. You really need to try it in different cameras and use it. Basically, just beat on it in day to day use. Despite my
hesitation, I have been using solely A-DATA memory cards for all my shooting needs over the last couple months, erasing, formatting, and punishing them just a little more than my highly trusted SANDISK Ultra II compact flash and SD cards.
