Conclusion

Well, hopefully, you've learned a new way to use your removable storage, and if you hadn't considered buying a media reader because you thought they were just for cameras, you might reconsider your opinion based on the things I've gone over in this review.

I really like the CF1024. It does everything I expected, and more. To be honest, I was surprised that it played movies without a slow down, or dropping frames. I thought I would find at least one performance "chink in the armor" as they say, but I didn't. Kingston has done a great job again. The only thing that I can see that is any where near being a detriment to the card is its MSRP. At over 700.00 US, this card is just a little too expensive for the average user, but if you take a lot of pictures, or have a portable device that allows you to use the CF format, and you want to have about 160 near CD quality MP3s at your fingertips, this is the card for you. Just the fact that you can fit one gig of data in a matchbox is cool enough for "wow" points.
