        A lot of media (tape, discs, DLT, memory cards, etc) is manufactured by one company, and then purchased and repackaged by many other companies, so you are often only paying for branding.

        Not sure about this specific comparison.

          Just keep a back up... no matter which brand you go with.

                  was the hitachi a flash or a microdrive?

                    I'm curious about this one myself.. I had always thought that all of the flash memory was made by hynix and infineon and a few others and just resold by the big names. I am assuming thought that the bigger and more well respected brands probably have higher testing standards on the oem cards they purchase.

                        Sandisk hasn't let me down. my lexar batteries for my 20D however suck quite a bit. its not apples to apples, but just my experience...

                          I am using SanDisk 1 GB extreme III, and I have 512Mb Hama. They are allways working fine. But my choice is SanDisk extreme III cards working really fast

                            My Sandisk Ultra II and Extreme III CF cards have never skipped a beat.

                                      I have both in my collection, at multiple write speeds. I've also used multiple third party CF cards and never really had an issue, though it WILL be one of them that fucks me. Lexar and SanDisk are the Coke and Pepsi of CF cards.

                                      Just make sure you get one with an appropriate write speed (if you aren't shooting sports or 20 frames a second, no need to spend the extra on the Extreme III or 80X cards), and if you haven't yet, buy at least one with free file recovery software.
