Looks like I'll be unboxing for a bit as my equipment arrives. I'm documenting this unboxing because I bought this card for its "extremeness."
The card touts the ability to hold up in extreme conditions (-13º F to 185º F : -25º C to 85º C). A couple of years ago I spent a couple of weeks in the mid east. The desert heat was too much for one of my 512mb cards and its data got corrupted. Half of my pics were on that card and I was really sad. When I got home I found a software that recovers data from flash cards. I was able to recover most of the pics, but some of them were still partially corrupt, and some were unrecoverable.
All this to say, I'm expecting much from this "extreme" card. It also came with recovery software but I hope to never use it.
A hearty welcome to the new contributors. Thank you for your gracious and informative comments. Looking forward to learning together!
