"Datel's MegaMemory16x..anyone got it?"

Jus wondering if anyone had the 64mg card by Datel? If you have, is it reliable? coz when the worst comes to the worst i would rather have 1 big card then 5 or 6 littluns. Cheers.. ;jc

16x Memory Cards are extremely unreliable, you may get your money back if it corrupts your save files, but is that really enough if you have ALL your hours/months/years worth of saves on there?

Its all to do with compression.

4mb - Lowest memory compression, very reliable.
8mb - Twice as Much compression, reliable. Very rarely corrupts data, but possible.

Mega Memory 16x - 16 times compression on all your saves! Increasing the possibilities of data becoming corrupt, personally (Although you may be saving money, or hassle in the long run) I would not buy it.

the only thing I thought was wrong is tht's it's compressed memory I thought that 's supposed to be unreliable or somit....

ive got the datel 16mb memory card. Ive had no troubles with it so far and dont expect to get any. IGN rated it 98% and so did lots of other top sites and other people that i know that have them have said they are very good.

Decent, thanks for your help. Just i heard mixed opinions on amazon, at school. u know... ohhh 64mb seems alot.. may corrupt of something... but now ive got the word from someone that has one. i have no fears... cheers ;Djc

Bought one the day I got my 'Cube (which was the day after release) and it's never been anything short of perfect. Between borrowed, rented and my own games it's got ~20 saves from ~15 different games on there.

Okay, ordered turok to my dads address but im not seeing my dad till monday :'< but i think he's ordering the mem card 2moro so i'll hopefully have them both by monday... ': >

I've been considering getting it. At the end of the day, if it doesn't work, then you're entitled to your money back. If I had the spare money, I'd probably give it a go - but I'll be sticking to the Memory Card 251 when I get one - should be 100% reliable and with my four other memory cards (2 official and 2 Interact that have never failed me) it should be a long while before I'll need another.
