£20 is a nice price.

Shove it in your card reader and copy a load of random files to it, that'll give it a test and it's waaaay quicker than taking 8GB worth of photos

It's exactly the same brand I bought when I got the 40D Azz, it has a lifetime guarantee, the old one in the 40D was only 4 gig but shooting in RAW can gobble up the megabytes on a card as you know.

I've never had any probs with the old one and the speed's fine, It's maybe not the fastest card on the market but I don't shoot rapid auto shots like in sports events.
