I need to buy some SD cards for a video project and I'm debating which company to buy from.
What company do you like and WHY specifically.
Contenders:
PNY
Kingston
Kingmax
Lexar
Crucial
SanDisk
Ridata
Corsair
etc.
Some people here seem to love corsair, so I was considering this one:
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820233017
Thanks for your help
OH! One more: What's the deal with some makers stating R/W speed and others completely ignoring any mention of it?

I have a 1GB SanDisk for my MP3 player and its nice. Of course you can't go wrong with Crucial either. Corsiar is a good company. (1GB of it is powering my Athlon64 system)
Not too sure of the whole R/W rate thing. I don't think its a problem unless the device you are using the card in is faster than the card though. Most don't even list though.

Doh
I'm a bit wary about SanDisk since I got that 512MB Cruzer Micro pen drive that got corrupted on a regular basis (and thus became useless). That thing was also exceptionally slow writing stuff (slower than a USB 1.1 device even it's 2.0.) As far CF/SD/MS cards go I use mostly SanDisk or Lexar w/o problems so far.
