Review on πŸ’« Gold Transcend TS64GSDU3 64GB High Speed UHS-3 Flash Memory Card 95/60 MB/s by Amanda Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast but seems to have quality control issues

I ordered two 64GB versions for my Nikon D610 which has two SD card slots hoping for faster buffer clearing and backup -Security is done during recording. The cards have a noticeable speed improvement over my previous cards. The buffer clears fairly quickly, allowing me to do continuous high-speed RAW shooting, with the slowdown only appearing after 13-15 shots. Reading speeds also seem high - swiping through photos is faster, importing into Lightroom is reduced. So on the speed front everything is fine. But. after only about 50 shots, one of the cards died. The camera gave me a card error, which persisted regardless of what slot the card was in. Replacing the dead card with another card fixes the bug. Oddly enough, after a few hours I was able to read the previously dead card and view the photos on it. However, I no longer trust him and have already ordered a replacement. Let's hope a replacement (or other card that hasn't failed) doesn't fail. So five stars for speed but two stars less for unreliability.
