Not bad - not great September 6, 2011
Size Name:16 GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used H2testw v1.4 to test 4 different cards that I bought on Amazon. To be fair I bought two of each. All 4 tested without errors, but the Amazon Basic cards tested slower on both the reads and writes. Not by much though.

EXTERNAL USB CARD READER:

Amazon 16GB Class 10 SDHC - #1
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 13.3 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.4 MByte/s

Amazon 16GB Class 10 SDHC - #2
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 13.4 MByte/s
Reading speed: 12.9 MByte/s

Transcend 16gb Class 10 SDHC - #1
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 14.1 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.7 MByte/s

Transcend 16gb Class 10 SDHC - #2
Test finished without errors.
Writing speed: 14.0 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.5 MByte/s

EDIT - 9/18/11

I ran the same tests using an internal SD card reader on my laptop instead of an external USB card reader. I also tested a pair of the Transcend 8gb Class 10 (FAST!!).

INTERNAL READER:

Let me start by saying that I love Amazon and have purchased many Amazon Basic Products. I have had no issues with any of their other products, but this one is completely defective. I am a professional photographer and I read some of the other reviews of this product but decided to give it a shot regardless. I did not however use it on any of my paid shoots because the reviews made me a bit nervous.

The very first use of this card was with my Nikon D7000 and about 20 shots in I started noticing that about 1/3 of my images were blacked out. After making sure everything was fine with my camera and lens, I started shooting again and the camera displayed an error code for the card. This camera has never had an issue before or since I used this card. I was able to load the images taken on this card to my computer (shot in raw format) and the black bar was in nearly every image.

This card my be worth the gamble if you are shooting just for fun, but I would personally recommend purchasing cards from sandisk or lexar. Don't risk it!

Like I said before, I love Amazon, but I find it necessary to leave an honest review.

I received this item as a gift since I love taking pictures and HD video. All of that can really eat up space quickly, so I was glad I got a SDHC card.

I've used many other amazon basic items like HDMI cables and other electrical cords, and they've all served me well, so I didnt worry about a amazon branded SDHC card. For all I know, they're probably made on the same assembly line as a big brand name card like SanDisk or PNY.

Write speeds, they're quick. My old camera used to make me wait 2-3 seconds after taking a photo, and waiting for it to write on my old old SanDisk 2GB SD card. Now after using this, instantly, I can shoot more photos and videos without needing to wait for it to write to the card.

Read speeds are pretty quick, all my pictures and videos showed up within seconds. My old Sandisk would make me sit there for a minute or two while it read each image and created preview icons for them in windows.

I highly recommend it to anyone who's into photography or just likes to shoot tons of videos/photos. I tend to copy everything and save it on my computer when the card starts to get full, but if you're the type of person who saves it all on SD cards for a long time, you might opt to get a 8 or 16GB card instead.

Works Perfectly
Very nice card that works perfectly, there isn't much more you can ask from a product like this. This was included in a bundled deal with a Canon A2300 camera.

Works great
I have a D700 and shoot a lot. Very satisfied so far. Still not sure if I should be spending more for the name brand or if both come out of the same plant.
