CF cards - brand-names?

There are many "off-brand" CF cards available, I wonder if they are
as good as the "famous" well-known cards od the same spec's?
Has anyone had any problems with off-brand CF cards?

I don' t know what you consider to be "off-brand", however

I am now using a 256MB Ridata supplied from http://www.powerinnumbers.com.au

I have no problems with the card so far

I also have a 128MB Ridata card...I find it a little slow once you start accumulating 30+ images esp. between writes to disk and deleting images. Is this a problem with all CF cards?

I'm a huge Viking fan and they're top rated for speed. I have 3 of them now and never had an issue and use them with my CoolPix 5000 and used to use them with my 990.

Amazon sells them for very reasonable prices and has a great return policy (30 days, no questions) if anything should not meet your expectations. (And they just dropped the price.)

that's the 256m and it includes free shipping. The free shipping is key as a lot of these places mark up their shipping to ridiculous levels.
