The following performance figures were obtained on an Asus X59GL laptop (i.e. 2008 / 2009 technology) running GNU/Linux OpenSUSE 12.3, using a new memory card with its out-of-the-box FAT file system. The command used to create the transfers was:nice --adjustment=-20 dd if=/dev/zero of=target_file_name count=NWhere 'target_file_name' specified a file on the memory-card, and 'N' was a number, as listed below. This command writes a long-sequence of zeros to a file. The niceness parameter of '-20' tells the operating system that this transfer operation is to be allocated as much CPU time as possible, even if that means neglecting other processes.For a transfer of 5 MB (N=10000)the reported transfer rate was about 141 MB/s.For a transfer of 102 MB (N=100000) the reported transfer rate was about 145 MB/s.For a transfer of 154 MB (N=300000) the reported transfer rate was 146 MB/s.For a transfer of 205 MB (N=400000) the reported transfer rate was 146 MB/s.For a transfer of 256 MB (N=500000) the reported transfer rate was 143 MB/s.For a transfer of 307 MB (N=600000) the reported transfer rate was 143 MB/s.For a transfer of 410 MB (N=800000) the reported transfer rate was 60 MB/s.For a transfer of 512 MB (N=1000000) the reported transfer rate was 41 MB/s.For a transfer of 1 GB (N=2000000) the reported transfer rate was about 18 MB/s.For a transfer of 4 GB (N=8000000) the reported transfer rate was about 19 MB/s.However, when the command was adjust to copy the contents of an existing file containing random bytes rather than merely copying zeros, the reported transfer rate was consistently about 19 MB/s for all file sizes. It is possible that the rate was limited by the USB disk that contained the source file.As anybody pondering such tests should know, transfer rates can be reduced by many things. Looking at the transfer rates achieved I speculate that the cards are able to cache up to 256 MB of received data in high-speed memory and then transfer it to non-volatile storage at a rate of about 18 MB/s.If my speculation about an on-device cache is more or less correct then one implication of this is that the card should certainly be properly 'unmounted' before removing it from the SD-reader slot, because the transfer from cache to non-volatile memory could continue for several seconds after the write operation has apparently finished.

The Transcend Ultimate 8GB Class 10 card is excellent, very quick at writing and reading. But there is a benefit that outweighs speed, something I didn't particularly take into account when I bought the cards.It has an image recovery facility in case you lose your photos, I never thought I'd need it and that the recovery process might be cumbersome or not even apply in respect of my Nikon NRW raw images. Well, after using the card for the first time I reviewed my shots from the day with a friend on her computer (using a Transcend card reader). I'd thought they'd been uploaded and that I'd then be able to transfer them to a cruzer stick, so I deleted them from my card.Then I discovered they hadn't been uploaded at all but had been simply viewed direct from the card, so I was too quick to delete them from my card, a silly mistake.To my utter amazement I was able to recover all of my images from the deleted card, the process was actually very easy using Transcend's software which I downloaded from their site (listed on the back of the memory card's packaging).The moral of the story is that we all make mistakes from time to time however clever we think we are. But for Transcend's recovery facility (called RecoveRx) I would have lost a day's shots, I can't describe how horrible a feeling that is, something I've never experienced before.Having a recovery facility has now trumped my thinking, it now being more important to me than gaining a second/minute through speedy writing/reading.I've ordered some more Transcend Ultimate 8GB memory cards, I wouldn't now use any other.(Note for video users, the cards are UHS1 which I believe won't support 4K video (Ultra HD) which need UHS3).

There were no iron cast guarantees on any review I could find that the rather finicky Nikon D7000 would be totally compatible with this large 64gb Transcend. But it does and the full file size at that.I even looked through reviews on Amazon U.S. and it seems that there may be problems with the D7000 if the latest firmware is not installed, mine has.I haven't tested the card for speed, I just use the cards, not experiment with them - but was certainly attracted by the lower comparative cost to the usual Sandisk and Lexar's. However in the U.S. the card is actually called '85/45' as this seems to be the reading/writing speed of the card. It is usual for the writing speed to be slower than the read speed.I do have a 64gb card of moderate speed from each of those more well known manufacturers and of course, they are utterly reliable.As for reliability - well, who knows but I always have another card as back-up in the D7000's second card slot. So, I should never lose a shot even if the Transcend should fail. I would still back up a Sandisk with another card, so it's nothing personal against the Transcend.Four stars? Well, as it is brand new and untested as yet, this rating is a token award until I know more. If it proves faultless and considering its very keen price then I would be happy to raise that to five stars.

If you have been reading other peoples reviews which state this card is slow, I personally would ignore them as they are more than likely using a USB2 port card reader or a laptop/PC using the boards USB2 header on the board which only usually reads @ around 20-30 mbs. Okay, I own both this, the UHS-I card and the non UHS-I class 10 transcend cards. Using my camera (the nikon D5100) which is able to use UHS-I cards to their full speed, the difference is this, Camera set in RAW and Sports mode for continuous burst mode, The NON UHS-I card could only take 12 shots, where as the UHS-I card took 16 shots. I repeated this 3 times and still got the same results. Their rendering times on the camera were more impressive,the non UHS-I card which had taken 12 shots took an average of 23 seconds to render, where as the UHS-I card with the 16 shots took under 16 seconds every time. As you can see, if your camera can make use of UHS-I cards the result is almost twice as fast. With my camera sat next to right now I just set it to JPEG fine, in continuous burst mode I took 100 shots before it needed to render, now with the non UHS-I card it only got to 30 shots and then slowed right down to what feels like 1 fps. So for the difference in price, buy the UHS-I card, you won't regret it.

Comes formatted in FAT 32, but I would always advise formatting the card in your camera or device just to reduce any remote chance of the device not recognising the format when you need it the most.In computer counting you get 16GB, in our decimal world you get 15GB.The card is a good build, no signs of the welded seams splitting and contacts are fixed firmly in place. The write lock slide switch is smooth and locks firmly into place, so no inadvertent switching over as you slip it into the SD slot.The speed is pretty good. Although bench marks vary on computer, size range of files being copied and lots of other factors, the card certainly performs better than others I have.I dragged a load of 300MB files onto the card in Windows and the speed was a steady 20 to 23 MB/s. Dragging these off the card and I was getting 25 to 27 MB/s. Bear in mind this was a dirty test and results can vary. What this showed to me was that it was more than capable of recoding in full HD on my camera and that any write speed faster than this is just surplus to my requirements in my camera.It is a tough little card and looks as though it will last me a good few years.

I bought this card quite a while ago now and have really pushed it to its limits.Working with the UHS-I on the camera the card is very fast in operation, this has allowed good, reliable HD video to be taken. Equally with stills it enables a high number of photographs to be taken before it slows down.One morning, while attempting to kick start the grey matter I managed to drop the card in my early morning tea. The result was instant alertness and much colourful language which grew louder as, like an idiot, I shoved my hand straight in after it. It was in the tea for about thirty second before I lobbed it all in the sink and quickly rinsed the card in fresh water. I allowed it to stand for 24hrs and it worked perfectly,the red of it's still intact label beautifully complimenting the red of my burnt skin!Months later it still works well, it has had hours of HD video and thousands of stills on it and it is still going strong. For a camera with UHS-I it is a must.

I was a little apprehensive about buying this card because it was stated that this is a Class 10 as well as a UHS-1 card.In the fine print on the packaging, it actually says the maximum speed requires UHS-1 compatible device. This is important to note.The maximum official speed is stated to be 85MB/s. And Class 10 speed is 10MB/s.While I'm using this on a Panasonic GH2, I'm getting performance that is significantly faster than my previous Transcend Class 10 SD card. However, the GH2's camera limit for writing is around 45MB/s. So I wasn't getting the full advantage of the Transcend card on that camera.I also tried it on other cameras. From the performance I'm seeing, this card is quite fast.Performance difference compared to the SanDisk 95MB/s card which I also have is not huge. However, the price of the SanDisk is much higher.So overall, this is Transcend SDHC card is really worth the money.

I always advise people who ask, that they may as well buy the lowest priced memory cards available (based on what size storage they require of course). More than 85% of ALL secure digital cards sold worldwide are made in one of three huge factories in China. The well known brands simply stick their own logo on them after buying them in from these factories, literally by the millions.This was the cheapest 16GB Class 10 I could find at the time, and it's still working just as well as other cards costing three and four times as much. At the end of the day, all secure digital memory cards are solid state logic, i.e. none of them have any moving parts inside. HINT: If anyone has a memory card which does seem to go wrong,just wipe the brass contacts with a clean dry lint-free cloth and give it another go. Most only ever "fail" because there's a few greasy fingerprints or a bit of dust on the contacts.

Fast, well built, and MOST IMPORTANTLY reliable. Works fine within my EOS 6D DSLR and provides the following performance when benched within ATTO. Note that you need a UHS-I equipped reader/device to obtain these speeds.Write: 55,4MB/secRead: 83.3MB/secIt may not be quite as fast as the Sandisk Extreme Pro cards which sell for more than twice the money, but it is certainly significantly faster than the Sandisk Extreme "Non-Pro" 45MB/sec cards which sell for about the same price, and which I already own several of.edit: Above benchmarks were taken on my HP laptop's native SD reader. I re-ran the tests on my desktop using a Kingston USB3.0 card reader (via USB3.0 port)and obtained even better results.Write: 65,7MB/secRead: 91.4MB/secI have added both ATTO benchmark screenshots to the Amazon "Customer images" section. Hopefully everyone can see it.

This card certainly gives very good perfomance and its quite keenly priced which makes it a very attractive proposition. As a UHS-1 card its works best with UHS-1 suppoting devices like the Canon 6D, 650D, EOS-M ,the upcoming Nikon D5200 & D7100 etc..... It is fairly fast with older cameras too but it really comes into its own in the cameras I listed. In terms of actual peformance- on a 650D I averaged around 26Mb/s which is quite impressive especially at its available price which is less than 1 pound per gigabyte !.In terms of looks this card is quite attractive with its red sticker that is somewhat reminiscent of Phoenix Askani`s red hair !,the only disappointment is that the card does not come with a plastic case for carrying it around - otherwise this card is perfect in terms of looks , price , capacity and performance !

I used to use Sandisk cards a while back however I then decided to try Transcend a couple of years ago when I needed a pair of cards and the Sandisk options was quite a bit more expensive. That pair (16 gig and slower class 10) are still going well and have been well used. Buying a new camera I decided that a higher speed, higher capacity card would be worth trying. Bought from an Amazon partner (Amazon's own were more expensive...) this one has worked extremely well for me. I use RAW in the camera and these are 32 meg files in the new camera and this card is definitely up to the job. I'll update this when I've used it more.Updated - this card has been used in the camera for a couple of months now (C1700 shots)and has performed very well indeed. No issues at all so great value for money.

This card is the top model of Transcend (and actually uses MLC memory which is rare for SD cards) and it's pretty fast. Faster than most devices can actually use. Write speeds are good (at around 40 MB/sec sequantial) and read speeds are over 90MB/sec. Random read/write speeds are also very good for an SD card, although not as fast as my Samsung class 10 which is better tuned for small transfers.I bought this for my digital camera knowing that it's faster than the camera needs because the price difference from an ordinary class 10 card is about 5E, so there's not much reason not to get this.Sandisk makes an even faster top of the line SD but at more than twice the price it's only for those who really need it.For all others this card it probably the best choice.

Not being a pro, just a keen wannabe for more time than I can remember, I can say that I have never had any trouble with Transcend. They may, or may not, be a little slower than the more expensive makes (this one isn't the fastest of the Transcend range), but with a D800, shooting in RAW, and a couple of hundred pics on the disc, I just go and boil the kettle. Anyone who remembers the old days of developing the expensive negs will appreciate digital, and a couple of seconds (because that's all it is) more of download time is certainly worth the saving in money, in my opinion. My research online has concluded that the speed of these discs are just about right as well. I have several of these,and have never been let down once.

A great nice SD card for my Nintendo 3DS and camcorder that will allow you to do anything you want, in the velocity it was supposed to be. With an astonishing 600x velocity, the same performance of the Sandisk Extreme Pro line (that costs almost double the price), you can do burst shoots and FullHD recording at blazing speeds, with plenty of space to fill hours of contents in their purest form.Also, for only 17 quid and coming from Transcend, a fairly respectable manufacturer, it is almost a steal! Just be sure to request original packing for the product, as *some* third-party sellers are known of selling cheaper products that actually aren't the real deal.

Card seems fine , but regretfully when I tried to use it (with a CSL - WiFi/Eye-Fi CompactFlash Typ I (3,3mm) ) the camera , Canon 7D would not recognise the card until formatted in camera and then could only get 32Gb. It did then work , but much slower than the smaller UDMA CF cards I was used to. This card has now found a new home in my Panasonic FZ200 where the full 64Gb is available and seems to perform at "normal" speed. If it helps, the above CF carrier converter performed at the same (slower) speed with 32Gb cards I tested with . So, this cards is fine, just don't try and get one of them to work (fast) in a 7D .
