Once upon a time, I was looking to get a larger SD card. 16GB for $40? Why not? I might not use all of it, but better more than less. Following that train of thought, I looked for the fastest 16GB card in the range. Transcend. An established company wouldn't put out a lemon, would it? The 100 or so one star reviews were tempered by the 500 five star ones. I was feeling lucky, so to speak. Unfortunately, I was not (mostly). A week into college, it decided to brick up on me, right after a beach party event. To its credit, I had taken more than 1000 pictures with it over about three weeks. Still, $40 down the drain. I will never trust Transcend again, thus making the warranty useless.
Now, my point. If you're looking at the ratings, 1/6 of the reviews are one star, for one reason or another. Most likely, you will be part of the group that has no problems. This card was EXTREMELY fast. HDTune got 17-20 mb/s consistently. It had more space than I could have ever filled. For those lucky people, this card is ideal. For the minority, this card will be hell. It has more space than you could fill over a two week cruise, before destroying every one of the pictures. Personally, I count myself lucky in that respect. All that was lost was a sunset event. But think: do you want to take that gamble with your precious memories? Do you?Get more detail about Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6.
