Review on 💫 Gold Transcend TS64GSDU3 64GB High Speed UHS-3 Flash Memory Card 95/60 MB/s by Marcus Powell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Speedy Card, exactly what it says on the label

I needed a memory card that could handle enough write speeds for 4K video and my camera manufacturer recommended a U3 Speed card. Luckily, Transcend is releasing this inexpensive U3 card with a claimed 95MB/s read and 60MB/s write speed. I immediately ordered two cards for use in my Panasonic LX100. As soon as the cards arrived, I grabbed one and tested it in my UHS-enabled card reader (for best speed, your reader must be able to use UHS controllers). ). In short, I got write speeds on the card of 59-60MB/s as advertised. The read speed exceeds the advertised 95 MB/s by a three-digit number. Just for comparison, I compared this card to Transcend's U1 32GB SDHC card to see if there is a speed difference. Yes, that was it: a U1-rated card moved at a speed of 36-37 MB / s (write speed), and the read speed was again expressed in three digits. That's actually enough to meet the U3 specification of 30 MB/s, but not a lot of headroom. can highly recommend this card to get the highest possible U3 write speed to the card. It really does exactly what it says on the label.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
