Yes, through the same slot, I'm noticing faster download times for 1GB. Maybe 30 seconds. I haven't timed it with a watch, but I take a card of each filled with photos and the extreme III is maybe 30 seconds faster.
I am not saying that the Ultra Plus isn't convenient. It _really_ is.

MMMM, thats pretty interesting. While I don't find 4 minutes very oppressive on a 1 GB card, I would find 8 minutes on a 2GB to be a bit of a finger drummer. Something to think about before getting the 2GB Ultra II plus over the Extreme III.
I love these purchasing quandaries! And my wife thinks I waste to much time on the internet!

Thanks for the thread on these. I didn't even know they existed. Got mine today. Pretty cool. I'm glad there have been no issues, cause they are tiny little things. Don't ask how long it took to me to figure out how to open the free key fob holder. I got a 1 gig from here for $36.99:

Ordered 2 of the 1GB USB SD cards. They don't list 2 GB cards with the USB. Good price. Thanx for the info.

I received a Sandisk extreme III today. I don't know yet whether it will be faster than other cards on the R-D1 or if there's a speed advantage in downloading to my computer BUT it offered capture one LE for free as part of the package so now I get to try epson raw and capture raw. I bought the cheapest deal through Amazon.

I have two 1Gb ultra II of these, they work fine but I think I'm going to get an external card reader, the folding mecanism doesn't seem all that solid. Still it's a great help if you don't have a card reader handy

I know they seem flimsy, but I've never had a problem. The coolest feature is you can keep one on the free keychain thingy that comes with the card. I always have a card with me, which has proved to be a lifesafer on many occasions
