Review on πŸ“· PNY 16GB Performance Class 4 SD Card 2-Pack (P-SDHC16G4X2-GE) – Optimize your search! by Michael Freemason

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Now I remember why I didn't want to buy this brand anymore

#1 - Error! #2 - Because they are rough on the tongue side and have to be forced into the SD slot, the only brand to ever get stuck and broken in the camera (twice in those years). It cost me $25 to have the photos saved at a photo store. Now with a new camera and new SD cards I just forgot about the bad experiences until I ran into the same issue - with their size? too far? The camera cannot recognize numerous error messages on the first day. The card reader cannot recognize it. Requires removal and re-insertion with little force before it will work. I'm worried about not damaging them as much as inserting/removing them. Back to SanDisk for me. update 02.08. - After taking dozens of photos over the course of 2 days and sorting them into folders, after the last batch I put the card in the PC for verification and it somehow changed to READ ONLY. Couldn't do anything with new images or dozens already in folders! He took out the card and prayed, put it back in and this time it worked. I then started copying the folders to another new backup drive (another PNY unfortunately didn't arrive as SanDisk didn't arrive) and it allowed me to drag/copy 5 folders and then stopped. The rest of the folders did not allow dragging anywhere, even in the download. I had to open the rest of the folders one by one, drag the photos onto the new card one at a time, and then create new folders on the new card to move those photos. A lot of time wasted by junk SD cards!

Pros
  • Excellent for a small house
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
