I disagree. Neither card is any more fragile than the other. The difference between them mechanically is that the SD card has a small switch to hardware-write-lock them, something I wish CF cards had too. The CF card, being larger and heavier, is more susceptible to physical damage when dro

Why? I see no great advantage to CF over SD. I've had equipment that used both of these card types for a long time. I find the SD format easier to manage because they're smaller, but there's nothing much in either direction to choose between them. d Godfrey On Jun 21, 2007, at 3:26 AM, Paul

Somehow I agree about your CF cards comment Paul ;) As for SD cards, one point might be warranty differences? How is Transcend warranty and how serious are they if there's a problem? Also, I might remember badly but I remember ExtremeIII are quite a bit faster than Transcend 150X. -- Thibault M
