Interesting but who the hell is "Rio Carbon" do thay have a track record?

Bought a Creative Labs "Nomad" (Ebays was littered) during the spring fer $195, it has the Hitachi 4G MD which retails fer $499. Extracted the MD in a few minutes and replaced it with an old Kingston 256 CF card, Nomad stills works.

Had to reformat MD to Fat 32 with 32k clusters to get the full 4Gs and it writes nearly as fast as a Lexar 40Xs.

One of the best decisions i evar made, ****t'n my pants tho extracting the MD.

You can get small digital wallets now for cheap to d/l digital data on site, got a 10G fer like $100.

I'm good for 15 Gs on the road.
