I have a variety of Class 6 Transcend cards as well as a dozen or so from other companies. It’s interesting the actual speeds of Transcend’s Class-6 cards vary widely. For example, I have two identical 8 GB Class 6 cards that were purchased about 6 months apart. The older one benchmarks (using ATTO-DISK the same software used in some professional reviews) about 50% faster than the newer one.

This 16 GB card is slower than both of my Transcend 8 GB cards. In fact it’s the slowest Class 6 card I have period. Most Class 6 cards test in the 10MB/sec – 15MB/sec range. This card only manages around 9MB/sec. The spec calls for a minimum of 6MB/sec so it still is acceptable. If you’re interested, check my review of the SanDisk Extreme Class 6. It’s literally more than 3 times faster than this card (but also costs significantly more).

It’s also worth noting the SanDisk Ultra Class 4 cards far outperform this card. But SanDisk is sort of in a class by themselves.

The good news is if you’re just shooting JPG still pics, or anything less than full 1080HD video, this card is probably fast enough. Only shooting HD Video at the highest quality settings on a higher end camera, or shooting long bursts of RAW images on a DSLR, are likely to tax this card.

I’ve also had a Transcend 2 GB card fail and I lost everything on it. While any card can fail, I’ve not had any problems with SanDisk or Kingston despite using those brands more heavily. There are lots of other reports of people having problems with Transcend cards as well (although some of those are likely from trying to use a card that was too slow for their application). So you have to balance the lower price with the possiblity you might lose everything on the card and the slower performance.

Finally, beware everything you put this card in needs to be SDHC compatible. If your PC, device or reader is more than a few years old, it might not be. I know people who filled up their new SDHC card with irreplaceable pics and video,

For what I paid, the product was satisfactory and in excellent condition. However, the Shipping & Handling fee was almost the price of the book which will be a consideration the next time. It took a long time to receive the book – almost a month.

Due to the fact that I’ve been a daily runner for 13 year plus, I didn’t think it was possible to excite me with anything new. Well, I was wrong. I love this watch, especially the alarm that tells you to speed up. I also like the calorie counter, best pace, etc. Very easy to use.

Great product. Love the sound quality and storage capacity. Only problem I have is iTunes! If I do anything to the setlist on my computer, it affects the iTouch.

This book takes place back and forth from the great depression / present day. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. I became so wrapped up in this book I had to tell all of my friends to read it and they more or less all agree with me when I say this was a great love story.
