Review on πŸ’Ύ Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card - High Speed Performance and Reliable Data Storage by Micha Dobrzyski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

There is some speed-related information here. (Mine is a 32 GB card, and I've seen that smaller cards of the same kind tend to be slower, so that's why I went with the higher capacity.) Reading at 222022 MB/s and writing at 21.04 MB/s over USB 3.0 are the results when paired with a Transcend RDF8 reader. When connected to a USB 2.0 port, data can be read at 19.82 MB/s and written at 19.41 MB/s. There were 1MB files that CrystalDiskMark displayed. A 1.45 GB movie, a "real" recording, only records at a slower rate of 17.2 MB / s on USB 2.0 (1 minute and 26 seconds). And yes, I nearly entirely agree with the evaluation from November 2, 2022: performance can drop dramatically from using a low-quality connection or from connecting the card reader to the front USB ports.

Pros
  • 1) Fast for its category (see the comment) 2) No issues with reading or writing (always worked in FAT32) in two years of heavy use.
Cons
  • The camera only lasted a year before the crack appeared along one of the ribs where the two sections of the body joined. It hasn't hampered performance just yet, but you'll need to be careful when you remove it.
