I have experimented with various cards.... some being junk no name cards, and can't really seem to tell any difference in any of them. I mainly use the standard SanDisk SDCFJ cards for nearly anything... a gig runs about 20$ online... which is more then enough for anything I do (NanoBSD.. see my site..) I have the various no name / have no clue of the name cards in production working great, like I said. I even log the crap out of stuff on 2 of the boxes as an experiment... and all seems well after a month and a half. I have never really had a problem with any flash, so stick with SanDisk and you should be -extra- fine...haha. A little hint... you can get some good "lot" deals on ebay if you go in on some with a friend. I got 10 512 sandisk cards for 32$ once! hope this helps.. i'm sure others will chime in. have a good one.. good to see some more FreeBSD users. -- Lyle Scott, III http://www.lylescott.ws
