Given a choice, with so little difference, I take Kingston, at least it is more reputable ...... hagiwara is famous one time too .... for the wrong reasons .

what's wrong hah ? :bigeyes:

Nothing much actually, just Harigwara CF card in it's previous batches are prone to data losing or corruption. I heard it was fixed in the later batch, but since then I don't buy it any longer, so I can't really comment on the later batch.

their packaging even same as their RAM chip... :bsmilie:

 

[johnyu]

How about Transcend?
Is it japan made, taiwan made or china made?

 

[espn]

The chips are normally packaged and manufactured in China (cheaper manufacturing costs).

For a DC.. any brand of reputed CF card, even like hagiwara should do just fine for a DC. IMHO, no sense paying $30 more for the Kingston.

It's like I buy Hyundai RAM chips in place of Kingston's ones. Why? Cheap. And it runs too

IMO... I'd pick transcend... cos I've been using it for so long it never gives me problems. I've seen people using Ridata and Sandisk UltraII and also Kingston.

Perfectly ok. Don't worry too much. I think you can keep a look out on the prices instead

if hagiwara is from toshiba, should be quite safe rit !

but didn't know kingston 5 yrs warranty, better than hagiwara here. :bigeyes:
