In the last three years with daily usage by multiple</DIV> <DIV>photographers we have only had a handful of glitches, and no complete failures.  Their  Image Rescue utility has always allowed us</DIV> <DIV>to regain our image files. Even then it is highly likely that it was either the camera or the computer we were downloading to</DIV> <DIV>that caused the problem. Their cards with the professional designation even have a lifetime warranty ------even with a card that was</DIV> <DIV>almost two years old and made us use the rescue utility three times in three months--- we called them up and they sent a new card, and asked </DIV> <DIV>us to send them the old one for their  evaluation.  I believe failures are extremely rare.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> On the other hand I have no real knowledge of the other system..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Robert Bower</DIV></BODY></HTML>
