great idea for a post, Eva!:rock:

I've got 512's of the Transcend 30x and LexarPro 24x, I'll give 'em a spin once my IC7-G is up and running;).

RH i did these benchies prior to Sandra Max3.. but now Max3 has removable drive/compact flash benchmark module added makes sense we would see some reviews like this :)
