 unreliable November 9, 2008
This is my third card in three months. The last two packed up after two weeks and two months respectively. (Failed during reading, but on different readers, and different computers). Now efficiently replaced by Amazon with the latest 30gb/s version, only problem this is card only, no recovery software or card reader that was supplied with the original two, so I will have to buy a sdhc reader.

SANDISK EXTREME lll SD 8GB
I really need to get this card, but two of your reviewers seem to disagree. Is this card the "30mb edition" card? The picture is not the 30mb edition, but Lucius says it is and Richard Stowey says it is not. I have written several Amazon suppliers asking about this and none of them wrote back. pls help, my d90 needs this card.
A recent note, Lucius was kind enough to inform me that this is indeed the "30 mbs edition" and it is clearly written on the package as well as the card.
 Above average October 14, 2008
I should point out that this does not come with a bundled reader which is unfortunate. It is however the newer "30MB/s" edition.
I'm fairly happy with my purchase, some quick tests revealed an average write / read speed of around 20MB/s when used in conjunction with a computer. Therefore I can say without hesitation that it's above average, just not quite as good as they'd have you believe.

Even though on the description page it says "Up to 30MB/s sequential read/write speeds", the finer print within the product details says "Speed Rating: 20 MB/s (read) 20 MB/s (write)". Just in case anyone is wondering, this IS NOT the 30 MB/s card.
I have two of them now and use them with my Nikon D90. I can get a lot of video recording out of them and the speeds seem to be able to cope well with the large amount of data recording.
Nice and reliable, good price and the small card reader comes in a small, zip-up, little pouch which is handy! Funnily enough, even though i have two of these, one came with a white usb card reader and the other one was black.
Nice card, price and works well.
If you need high speed.... you need this card! October 7, 2008

Just bought this to complement my Nikon D90.... and I am very happy. Shooting RAW, it is super-fast, copes easily with 4.5 FPS and downloading to my PC is now a dream.
If you really do need a fast card.... trust me, you will not be disappointed.
