The Seagate line are all labeled "ST1 Drive".  On closer inspection, 
it looks as if a bunch of Chinese merchants are trying to use refurb 
units to sell their USB-to-CF adapters. 

Best to stick with a US vendor, methinks.

I'm working on a project that would normally take a standard (i.e. 
flash) CF card, but I'm debugging code and I'd like to use something 
that was a little more tolerant of repeated writing.
