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.

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.

I wanted to use this card as a 'Speed Boost' drive for my son's laptop, he already has a cheap 2gb card for same.Placed this into 'inbuilt' card reader on laptop and attempted to reconfigure it for 'Speed Boost' but Windows 8.1 gave warning card was not suitable as not fast enough ? This is a class 10 card so tried in my desktop and was OK in that.Both PC's run Windows 8.1 with USB connected internal card reader so tried speed test software.Test via IsMyHdOK 64 bit I obtained the following results using the 'long test' ( 60 seconds ), all figures in Mb/sRead Write31.71 Sequential 15.125.54 4k 1.6430.64 512k 3.345.15 64 x 4k 2.060.739s Access Time 2.495sBenchmark45.5 63.0 17.5So speeds OK and

This SDXC works great and knowing that Transcend is one of the best memory card/usb cars/sticks I didn't had to think twice to get one. Well, Samsung Pro cards are much faster, but also probably double the price of that.Tested speeds are with Transcend's very own RDF5 card reader and Asus Z87-Pro mobo.CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3 x64:---------------------------Sequential Read: 83.89MB/sSequential Write: 38.86MB/s---------------------------Read speeds are well above the specification and write speeds are lower than the 300x specs, but that might also be due to the card reader itself after I am not sure about that as I dont have another usb 3.0 card reader.=========================================================EDIT: Updated with benchmarks of the 400x version (see screenshot 2 and 3).

Amazingly cheap for so much storage. I bought this to make our music collection easily available in a car stereo. The only snag I had with it is most radios (well both mine anyway) require FAT32 format, this arrived in exFat format, and windows won't format anything over 32gb in FAT32, so I had to hunt around on the net for a free program which would allow me to format it. Oops, two snags - one of the sd card readers I have wouldn't allow it to be recognised either, the PC I plugged it in to (windows 10) said it was only 28gb and needed formatting. Another laptop with a built-in slot read it fine, so if you have trouble reading it, it could be your reader not supporting the larger cards,

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.

I already have two, class 10, 16Gb cards. They worked perfectly well but having taken over 1000 pictures (JPEG) at RIAT 2013 and now saving in RAW and JPEG formats, I thought I could do with more memory. I also wanted faster cards for recording videos using my Nikon D7100. So I got two of these 64Gb cards being the biggest the camera could take. These performed very well at the recent Cosford Air show. However, the videos only take up a small proportion of the memory so in reality I didn't need this big. More smaller sized cards might have been better. Also lose a 64Gb card (or two) and that's a lot of pictures. No complaints though.

Always reliable, fast delivery too but the SD card itself has a good transfer rate that keeps up with SLRs and point and shoots alike. I would say perhaps on the Canon EOS 7D that you'd experience a little problem in burst mode although the 45mb/s is more than enough for my uses (the Canon EOS 7D has a compact flash slot by the way but I use a CF to SD adapter).This is my go to card whenever I need a new one as its a good storage size (16GB) and its a great transfer rate that comes with a recovery program you can download off the Transcend website.

Very happy with this. For years I have been using 2GB or less in a variety of digital cameras. Now I have settled on 2 cameras, a small Kodak point and shoot, which will take a card up to 8GB and a brand new Canon bridge camera which I hope will last me for the rest of my life, and I intend to use with this card. Whether I actually need a camera or a card of this quality is debateable, but as with many things, a little of what you fancy does you good. I have taken some fabulous shots of my grandson at play, and the combination is more than adequate

A brand that I trust and which hasn't let me down yet. Portable and multi purpose use in cameras, computers, laptops and can store all sorts of digital files on i.e., music, documents, pictures. I only use as temporary storage though until I can move content to an external hard drive so I can continue to keep reusing it. It would take thousands of files before running out of space though. Speed of writing faster than your standard SD card which makes continuous shooting mode more successful too. So small they're easy to carry a lot of spares too.

I'm really happy with this card - I bought it to take on holiday and use in a Nikon D5200 camera. This time last year I paid more for a 32GB card and now 12 months on this is just as quick and double the size!Burst mode etc all works fine (it's much slower on cards with a slower write speed) and movie recording worked fine too.Transcend have a good reputation compared to some of the cheaper brands, and it's never worth buying the cheapest SD cards you can buy as one day you'll potentially lose everything on the card.

Conforms to all the standards required for my Nikon D80 DSLR and my Panasonic HX-DC2 video camera. I can get 2,500 RAW shots on my Nikon and nearly seven and a half hours of 1280 x 720 HD video on the Panasonic.It's as big as I want to go with storing data because any storage can fail and even this is a lot to lose. I try to backup and clean off the data regular but it's nice to have the capacity available if required.The price and the numerous good reviews persuaded me to go with this and I'm not disappointed.

Great value for money. Honestly, unless you get a faulty card (I didn't), this is a no-brainer for EOS R owners. Affordable comparing to other similar cards and since you kinda have to have two cards, why not this one. Better than my more expensive Delkin card, which has pretty much same write and read speeds than this one.I've used this card for about a month now and have had zero problems and I suppose that if you have faulty card it would've done something by now. Definitely recommend this one.
