What's great about it: Extremely fast
What's not so great: nothing for me :)
"This is that fastest card there is and in my opinion, its worth the price. However, I got this one on sale for $50 so I bought two. It took about 10 seconds to load 176 photos that equaled about 870 MBs onto my computer!
That's FANTASTIC"

What's great about it: Consistent Performance, Easy To Use, Fast, High Capacity, Highly Compatible
What's not so great: None so far
"This is the best memory card I've ever had. It processes pictures much faster than an ordinary memory card. And the picture quality is much better than orther brand I had used before. Worth every penny of my investment, just love it."

What's great about it: FAST. If you don't have it, you don't know what you are missing
What's not so great: Stores slightly less pictures than off brand, but that is pulling hairs.
"What have I been thinking? I have been using the Cheap stuff thinking as long as it is class 6, I should be fine. And honestly, I was. That's until I saw this one for $39.99 at Best Buy. The price meant I would only pay a bit more than double instead of quadruple of what I paid for my other cards. Oh what a difference. If my Nikon DSLR could talk, it would have been asking me: "Why pay all that money to buy me just if you were going to use an SDHC card that limits my performance?"
Instantly, I was able to take more simultaneous shots in very little time as the write speed was obviously superior to what I was used to. This in itself makes the card worth it. Other stuff, like faster transfer rates to my computer were icing on the cake. And I can breath a bit easier knowing that I can always call SanDisk in case something happens. Unlike the off brands I was buying.
I'm never skimping on an SDHC card again. Right now, I have $50 worth of cards I am no longer using. I could have sucked it up and used the money to buy this one.
I was pulling hairs to find a negative. The only one I found was than it holds 30 less pictures is RAW mode. Around 520 instead of 550. Not a deal breaker.
Definitely a must have if you have a DSLR."

Super Fast!!! A must have

What's great about it: extremely fast, worth the money
What's not so great: None
"Really fast than any other SD I have used (including ATP 22.6 mb/s). Pictures are taken/saved in the camara and transferred to PC very fast.
I use it with my Nikon D90, 12 mp, jpg, best quality. You get about 1100 pics with this resolution/camara.
It also worked with my PS3 (It has the SD slot built in)"

Blazingly fast, if your device can handle it

What's great about it: Very fast when used in a device which can take advantage of its speed
What's not so great: No faster than some older, slower high-speed cards in older devices
"I purchased two of these cards on a recent sale for half of their regular price. Tested in a Nikon D90 digital SLR camera in continuous high-speed shooting mode, it can sustain nearly the D90's maximum sequential frame rate (the card can write at nearly 4 rames per second) in Large Fine JPEG mode and still can sustain about 2 frames per second in RAW mode.
One small niggle: This exemplary speed can only be achieved when these cards are used in a device which can take any advantage whatsoever of their speed. The Nikon D90 digital SLR camera and one of SanDisk's very newest external card readers can tap into the cards' proprietary timing modes, allowing sequential read and write speeds well above 22 MB/s and approaching their claimed 30 MB/s speed. But when used in a device which cannot tap into this proprietary timing mode (and thus limiting the supported modes to the maximum official SD Card Association speed of about 22 MB/s), these cards perform no better than most earlier 133x and 150x cards - and slower than some of the earlier Extreme III cards from SanDisk.
Overall, the Extreme III 30 MB/s Edition is a strong performer, especially in devices which take anywhere near full advantage of its performance."

Super fast flash for Vista ReadyBoost and storage

What's great about it: Best Buy Sale's price! Was going to buy the 4 GB, but the 8 GB was cheaper!
What's not so great: None
"I bought this Extreme III 8GB 30MBp/s for sale at $39 at Best Buy and I couldn't resist the urge to try it out as a ReadyBoost Flash Card. It is plenty fast for Vista to detect it as ReadyBoost (RB) capable memory. Vista allocated 4 of the 8 GB for RB and the other 4 I use for storing rickety new game demos and files. Be sure your laptop's media card reader will support SDHC memory of this size. I have the Gateway 6860-FX (which also was another best buy from Best Buy) whose card reader works with just about every kind of SD card I've insterted. Readyboost helps my applications open near instantly as well as keeps the harddrive activity to a minimum during routine applications and websurfing. Buy it...there are many practical uses for a solid, fast 8GB SD card at this sale price."

What's great about it: Extremely Fast Save Times!!!!! Huge Storage!!!!
What's not so great: none!
"I am using this memory card in a Canon SD770 IS and I noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in photo save times compared to regular and ultra sandisk memory cards!!! I took this camera and card on my trip to Alaska and it made taking pictures so enjoyable!!!! I was shooting away while my friend had to shoot and wait for his pictures to save! The capacity was great, so I didn't have to carry extra memory cards, and I could use a higher megapixel on my camera!!! It is expensive, but it's great to capture those great flash moments!!!! If only i had a Canon SLR......."
