Some say Sandisk, others say Kingston and then there's even more with their own opinion on different brands.
Personally, I use Kingston 4GB CF cards and have never had a problem.
Ok I checked them out there are 3 types,plain,elite pro 45x and 133x i'mQuote:

DEFINITELY Sandisk.
EVERY single IDE equipped Amiga of mine is running from Compact flash cards, so I have purchased literally dozens of them.
MOST work.... some dont, some work with problems... but Sandisk ALWAYS works perfectly. I have used Sandisks from 64mb up to 8gb and they have all worked well.
Also, Nathan at AmigaManiac sells some 8gb Compact Flash cards VERY cheap (around $20.00 from memory) which work perfectly and are quite fast.... cannot remember the name of them though.
Hope this helps.
Believe me any info in a area were you not familiar with is good info..Quote:

They work equally well on the IDE bus as well as PCMCIA via adapter.
You will pay more for them compared to most others, but they are about as much a sure bet as you are going to find.
Well for now I have a Transcend 512mb 80x I got this awhile ago for a
camera I had so i'll give it a shot..

I never had issues with Transcend 133x as well.
Used 4GB versions on my A600s and 16GB version for my A1200's SCSI and always worked like a charm
Sandisk is 100% Amiga compatible. I use both 2GB and a 4GB CF to my A1200.
I have two Kingston Flower cards, which aren't supposed to work well, but I have no problems with them. They aren't fast, but that isn't too much of a big deal. I am planning on buying a Sandisk 30MB/s 8GB card since they just recently dropped to a lower price here at a store. I have heard good things about them, so I figured it was worth a bit of cash.
