Hey no problem. You are right that this Patriot card is the cheapest 8gb card out there by a long shot. Part of me thinks I should have just taken another chance (as some other reviewers on newegg did) and get a replacement, but I didn't want to have to go through the whole tedious process of returning it again.

One promising thing I worked out tonight though, is that the REALLY slow transfer speeds on the 8gb card were not a failure of the card. It seems that the same is true transferring to the internal card of the 810 (there is another post about this floating around).

At any rate I hope you get a good one! Let me know how it works out.
