There's a user review at Newegg saying it died after 3 weeks...and a few warning signs.

I think I'll stick to Lexar and San Disk!   ::)

I have been using one of these in my R-09 for almost two months, no problems to report.

Starting 1/24/08, Frys.com is offering a PQI 8GB SDHC class 6 card for $35, with free shipping.  There's a $10 mail-in rebate, so final price is $25!

Just received a Transcend 8GB SDHC card with included card reader from Newegg for $41.98 total.

However, due to musiciansfriend.com *losing* my PMD620 order...I've yet to test it.

I've been using this in my R-09 for the past month and I've never had a problem.  Only problem I had with it was that it got unstable after trying to format it on the old firmware (it's an 8 gig card).  I sorta got it working but I eventually exchanged it and told them it was "defective" and I was able to talk him into giving me a new card (he said he'd do it "just this once").  I recorded the headliners at the Uptown Waterloo Jazz Festival this year and never once had a problem.  Bit depth/sample rate was 24/44.1

My sister in law gave me one of these last xmas for secret Santa. I've run it up to 24/96 no problem. I format all my cards on the computer though, using /a:32k /a:64k switch.

A-Data are very slow, but *much* cheaper, at least where I am. I have not had trouble finding cheap SD cards, but for Compact Flash, A-Data are very tempting.  I've used 4GB A-Data in the Fostex FR-2LE (24/44.1) with no problems.  Probably slower on uploading, but seem OK for the price.
