Always Go For the Gold!
Fastest writing time I could find. If it's taking any time to write, I haven't noticed. I haven't put it to the full test yet - 8fps - but am confident it will keep pace. It produces spectacular color clarity on mid-quality, small-sized .jpeg setting.
I was annoyed to need to buy a new card format when I upgraded Nikons, but got over it immediately. I can't imagine needing a second card because of the mind-boggling capacity of this one, but I will certainly go with a second one of these should it need a back-up.
Lexar Professional Series have always given me flawless results. And the included recovery software has come in handy a few times too...

Lexar 8 gb udma 300x cf card
Fast fast, and faster. I never run out even shooting raw.
High buffer. 6 frames per second, no waiting, etc....
Highly recommend. Not cheap.

Not pleased
I ordered this 8 gig card with new horizons in mind. I shoot with a professional Canon 10D EOS. My camera, after 3.4 gigs was used up on the Lexar card, could no longer write to the card fast enough and all images become corrupt thereafter. Since I had only read positive reviews for the card, I was way to sure of this card and used it during a wedding shoot. I'm thankful I had plenty of 1 and 2 gig cards as back up. Further investigation opened up the notion that this card cannot be maximized by any camera other then the higher end SLR professional cameras that are new to the market - so if you don't own a high end SLR and just have a normal SLR professional like myself, this card isn't going to work for you. Atleast not past 3.4 gigs.
