List of known to work CF brands
If I remember well not all CF cards work when used with an Amiga. I know there is a list somewhere but I cannot seem to find it. Does anyone have a link to this or know what I should look for when buying new CF cards? I usually stick to SanDisk cards but they have different levels such as the Ultra (50MB/s) and Extreme (120MB/s).

Big problem of SanDisk is there is really high level of chinesse piracy and eBay is full of fake sandisks :( You can register your card on Sandisk official web, though.

Ok, but let say I buy from Amazon, would the Extreme level work on an Amiga? Or going with Ultra is better?

At least newer reflective silver label SanDisk Ultras use "illegal" CHS geometry values which enables (with directscsi filesystem) up to 128G drive size without requiring usual A600/A1200/A4000 IDE scsi.device updates.

Thanks for this. From what I read here (https://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/4gb_faq.html) there are still "challenges" in going with partitions over 2GB and disks over 4GB.
However I think I'm still going for a 16GB card. Is it correct that if I don't create more than 2 partitions of 2GB each I should be ok? (I know it sounds like a waste but in the future I might try creating larger size partitions, just not a priority at the moment). Quote:

With above Sandisk, you only need RDB installed filesystem that uses direct scsi mode. No more boot drive size limits, no 4G partition limits etc.. Quote:

I have tested 3 different CF cards that I had lying around on my A1200.
