I have not, but RiDATA tends to be lower on the quality scale

Really ??? Do yinz find this statement about Ritek and quality to be true ??? I bought a Ri-Data 8GB 'Pro' 150x CF Card back in September/2005, and thought they were some of the higher quality cards. I mean, shit, theyre FAR FROM GENERIC BY ANY MEANS. My 8GB Ri-Data card has treated me OH SO WELL, that when I was thinking of buying a 32GB CF Card, I was searching out for Ri-Data. Ritek makes some HQ Blank Media, and I would guess that they put just as much quality into the blank CF Card media, wouldnt you? I JUST BOUGHT a 32GB CF Card, and I wanted the Ri-Data 233x "Lightning Series" card over ANY OTHER CARD. I mean, I understand that Kingsaton/Sandisk are the HIGHEST QUALITY CF Cards, but w/ chargiing THAT MUCH for a CF card, ESPECIALLY SANDISK(they STILL want like $250-300 for a 32GB CF Card), they BETTER last a frickin lifetime thats for surew.
Well, anyways, I was looking to buy a 32GB CF Card just this past week once I got my tax return deposited Monday night. So Tuesday, that was my goal for the day since I'm unemployed :P I narrowed it down to a Trascend 32GB CF Card and a Ri-Data 233x "Lightning Series" CF Card. I actually was going to buy on Newegg.com. Funny thing is, once I FINALLY MADE MY DECISION about the Ri-Data card that thatw as what I was going to buy, and as SOON as I went to click "Add To Cart" that little BUZZER went off in my head that goes off on game shows that signifies that you got a wrong answer ;D :) 8) ;D They were OUT OF STOCK!!!! You think I would have noticed that since I stared at BOTH the Transcend card AND the Ri-Data card for a tOTAL of like 12 hrs before I FINALLY made my decision :P ;D 8) ;D So, I said "FUCK IT" and was going to buy teh Transcend card since LeeHookEm, or SOMEONE on ts.com, said that they had used their 32GB Transcend CF Card for recording 4 channels at 24/96, WITH an SD 744T, so I KNEW it would work flawlessly :)
And JUST before I hit the "Add To Cart" button on Newegg, I got the bright idea to actually search the web instead of just looking on newegg.com :P Well, the first 5 links I went to that supposedly HAD that 32GB Ri-Data card I wanted, and BAM, ALL OUT OF STOCK. Well, FUCK!!! So, I looked at ONE LAST WEBSITE for the 32GB Ri-Data CF Card before I went back to newegg and bought that 32GB Transcend CF Card, and BAM, I found one. Well, they CVOULD have been out of stock for all I know, because they didnt say OUT OF STOCK, so I assumed they still HAD THEM. AND it was for 8-10 bucks CHEAPER than Newegg had the Ri-Data cards listed ;D 8) SO SCORE ONE FOR BEAN FINALLY ;D
Hopefully, the 32GB card will be here by Saturday, altho Im CERTAINLY not holding my breath :P ;D
