   Fast memory card … might not be faster with your camera., June 4, 2012

   The Transcend 16GB High Speed Class 10 UHS-1 SDHC memory card is one of the fastest SDHC-type memory cards you can currently find on the market. This is great for transferring images from your card to your PC or Mac using your computer’s SD card reader. However, this memory card may or may not be any faster inside your camera than a slower memory card. The Ultra-High Speed (UHS-1) standard supports a clock frequency of 100 MHz (4 times faster than the original default speed for SDHC), which in four-bit transfer mode could transfer 50 MB/s. UHS-I cards also support a clock frequency of 208 MHz, which could transfer 104 MB/s.

   This is all well and good, but most cameras don’t support this kind of rapid read/write speed and unless you have a USB 3.0 memory card reader you won’t be able to transfer files that fast either. The newest professional-grade DSLRs usually support UHS-1 speeds but in the overwhelming majority of cameras this memory card isn’t much (if any) faster.

   If you know what you’re buying and either your camera or your USB 3.0 card reader can handle UHS-1 speeds then you should buy this memory card. If not, you can probably save some cash and buy a cheaper 16GB SDHC card.

   I get 80MB/s read, 45 MB/s write. Transcend = dependable., April 25, 2012

   I’ve got five Transcend flash cards now (4 SD, 1 CF). Haven’t had any problems with any of them, and have taken thousands of images on them (I’m a part-time professional photographer; mostly weddings). In general, I think Transcend cards tend to be one of the better deals out there for flash memory. Would I rather have the name Sandisk or Lexar on the cards? Yes, for peace of mind, if the price were the same. But it’s not (for an equivalent product). And I think that’s the point. These work just about as well, *and* they’re reasonably priced.

   SPEED: Using Atto Disk Benchmark, I had consistent read speeds of 80 MB/sec and write speeds of 45 MB/sec using the USB 3.0 connection on my SSD-equipped laptop and the Kingston USB 3.0 card reader. That’s pretty good. My standard class 10 Transcend 8GB card only gets 20MB/sec read, 14MB/sec write.

   Keep in mind that this card is only faster than a standard class 10 card when used with a UHS-1 compatible device (a USB 3.0 card reader, etc). If you don’t have one of those (most people don’t), a standard class 10 (or even class 6) is likely to perform just as well, and at a much cheaper price. You won’t notice a difference while it’s in your camera.
