I wanted to get one of these and give it a try with a old 98 rig for the hell of it, anyone else having trouble getting it to take a debit credit card?

I used my debit. The shopping cart was kind of funky, but i finally got it to work after several attempts.

I just tried 3 more times, guess this deal was not meant to be, I just took the money and bought another $10 MP3 player I posted up, forgot another person this year, and that took care of it, so I suppose this was a sign not to let me buy this

I got this today and it appears to be dead. I checked Seagates site and the warranty expired 4, July 2008. Not worth an RMA really.

Got mine as well and have the same warranty staus. Can't test mine until I get home with my dslr. Plan to use this as an OS drive in an embedded board anyway.

EDIT: Just tested it in my Canon 20d. It said error, but telling the camera to format the drive fixed that. Snapped a couple of pictures, put it in my card reader and the files showed up.

Write times were pretty slow, but what do you expect when compared to 266x compact flash.
