Transcend 16GB SDXC/SDHC Class 10 USH-I (Premium) Memory Card with Eco Friendly Retail Packaging

I have been using Transcend for many years, great products and I especially like the ability to check on the website the product supplied is a genuine Transcend product and not counterfeit.

A set of these excellent Transcend 32GB class 10 SDHC UHS-1 cards all passed the usual speed and capacity tests (H2TestW) on my PC with flying colours and are now used in my DSLR and GoPro for recording HD video clips.The slowest of the set had a Write speed of 19.1 MByte/s, Read speed of 81.2 MByte/s (Class 10 and UHS-1 needs to be faster than 10 MByte/s). Each had a usable capacity of 30194 MBytes. O/S reported 31,661,752,320 Bytes available and 32 KBytes reserved when formatted with FAT32.The lock tab is an essential extra safety aid for making sure I do not inadvertently erase or try to re-use a full card, even though I've given each one a sticky label to identify it. The plastic clip cases each of mine came in have proven useful to protect the exposed contacts from ESD damage when the chips are not in a camera.As with all electronic chips and memory I am careful not to touch the contacts, so as to avoid finger acids corroding the very thin metal of the contacts and electrostatic discharge (ESD) damaging the chip. The ESD sort of damage is usually called 'walking wounded' where the chip seems OK for a while but is actually silently suffering and will eventually die.

Having prejudices towards any SD card manufacturer other than Sandisk, buying this SD card was more of a major deal then it need be. But, this SD card now limits my prejudice towards every SD card manufacturer other than Sandisk and Transcend.Okay, in all seriousness there are only two major factors when buying an SD card: buying from a good reputable brand and getting the speed & size you need. This card ticks the first box - I can tell you I have had no corruptions or issues with this card, but how about the second box? Well, it depends what you're using it for. For most photographers 32GB is plenty, even if you shoot RAW and 45MB/s is good enough. Shooting 50 frames per second 1080p footage on my Nikon D5300 was an easy task for this card. Only if you're shooting 4K or just believe bigger is always better consider a larger faster SD card.So the real question then is why choose Transcend? Well, it's easy: price. Had Sandisk's pricing been closer to Transcend for the same spec, yeah I would have instantly bought a Sandisk, but Transcend have produced a good SD card at a good price. Simple as.

Had this card in my Canon SLR camera for nearly 2 years now. In that time i've taken thousands of photos and the card has been transferred in and out of the camera and in and out of my laptop. Not a single error in all that time. The card is pretty fast and I don't suffer from any buffering effects in my camera but I don't usually do any rapid burst shots of more than 3 in a row so I can't say what it is like in a more gruelling situation. Its a decent card that runs at a decent speed.

I have not used this extensively yet but it seems to work fine in Lumix TZ7 and a lot cheaper than Sandisc. A word of warning. If you buy this you get the option of downloading free recovery software (RecoveRx). I downloaded to my MacBook Pro and it acted like malware. I could not close the windows and it locked up Finder. With Apple support managed to reinstall the operating system and eventually trash the programme. You have been warned. 5* as the item itself seems fine

This card works, but is sometimes difficult to fit into a working position in the camera, sometimes it fits sometimes it doesn't and has to be fiddled into place once its there it works well!! but there is no guarantee it will work full time, I have had no problems with other cards?? I can only think the size spec is slightly different????

I use this SD Card in my Citroen Navidrive 3D (NG4) Head Unit. Although the system has a Hard Drive and Jukebox function that can rip CDs or MP3s directly, the unit can also play media from an SD Card.I use an SD card through choice, as by not using the Jukebox function, the Hard Drive doesn't have to do extra work storing and playing music, thus prolonging the operational life of the drive. These automotive quality HDDs are very expensive to replace, so I find this Transcend SD card perfect for copying all my MP3s from the PC and playing directly in the car. I have still only managed to fill half the card up with music, so far, but I have had absolutely no issues with it whatsoever and can highly recommend it for this purpose. If I ever do need to buy another one - I will go directly for this brand.

Top quality and great value memory cards, with excellent transfer speeds. I'm using two of the 32GB cards in my Nikon D7100, with one card used in one slot for RAW images, and the other in the second slot for JPEGS and video. No problems at all with writing both RAW and JPEGs simultaneously even with the camera in burst mode, and video storage just as good. Definitely recommended.
