STEP UP TO HIGH SPEED FROM HP!

You don't need to be a professional to utilize a Class 10 SDHC Card…

Designed for the enthusiast and pro photographer, the 32GB Professional Series SDHC card from HP is designed for high speed, high capacity, continuous mode shooting from your digital SLR and HD video recorder. These cards are perfect for capturing action or low light photos, allowing you to handle more frames per second for the critical shot. The Class 10, 133x speed rating and lifetime warranty translates to 20MB/s write speeds for ultimate performance and reliability.

What do 20MB/s write speed and Class 10 mean for me?

How does that speed rating affect me, and my photos or videos? Well, you don't have to be a professional photographer to utilize a Class 10 card, and the increased 20MB/s write speed can make a difference. Say you have a little one around the house and you're chasing after him with your camera snapping away. The card's 20MB/s transfer rate will allow you to take more photos in a shorter period of time, so whether you're in and around the house, or at the soccer game, the faster Class 10 card will enable you to capture more of those special moments.

What is Class 10 Speed Rating?

The SD Association has created and defined 4 speed classes to help you identify speed and guaranteed performance capabilities/minimum requirements of SD/SDHC cards and their host products. The ratings define flash memory cards that are capable of storing video. Higher class ratings such as Class 10 translate to higher quality video capture. In the case of PNY's Professional Class 10 card, they are guaranteed to record 1080p HD video which requires at least 10MB/s transfer rates. Speeds are reflected in megabytes per second (MB/s).

What Class Rating is Right For Me?

Style Name:Retail|Product Packaging:Amazon Frustration-Free|Size Name:32 GB
I recently purchased this HP CG790A-AZ 32 GB Flash Memory Card Class 10 SDHC, mostly because it is budget-priced (similar class-10 32GB card from Sandisk would cost nearly twice as much). To my surprise, this HP card turns out to be faster than all my other class-10 cards.

I used a benchmark program called "H2testw v1.4" to find out the write speed for large (1GB) files. This is essentially the same as the sequential-write speed used for SD card speed ratings. To qualify as a class-10 card, the card must be able to sustain sequential-write speed of 10MB/s.

Here are the results for all my class-10 SDHC cards:
- HP CG790A : 15.1MB/s
- Transcend TS16GSDHC10E : 14.6MB/s
- PNY P-SDHC16G10 : 13.6MB/s
- Kingston SD10G2/16GB: 10.7MB/s
- Wintec Filemate 3FMSD32GBC10-R: 10.2MB/s
(See the chart I uploaded to 'Customer Images')

For completeness sake, I also benchmarked this HP card using other programs, including "Flash Memory Toolkit v2.0" and "CrystalDiskMark 3.01". The results are even more impressive (see 'Customer Images' section for details). The HP card delivered excellent write speed for both large and small files, while all other cards performed poorly for smaller files.

Of course, the REAL benchmark needs to be done in the actual application. For that, I inserted each card in my Canon Rebel T1i, set it to save both RAW and JPEG formats, then took 10 consecutive shots in burst mode. Again, the HP card is the fastest, taking only 16.7s to save all 250MB of data. In contrast, the slowest card (Wintec Filemate) took 28.3s to finish.

Bottom Line:
This HP SDHC card, despite of its low cost (I picked "Amazon Frustration Free Packaging"), is actually the fastest among all class-10 cards I have tested. That makes it the best deal in my book.

[Update on June 26, 2012]
I purchased another HP 32GB SDHC card, because the current price (66 cents per GB) is just too good to pass up. The read/write speed of the second card is identical to that of the first one. So the quality is consistent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice speed and works great! June 23, 2012
Style Name:Retail| Product Packaging:Amazon Frustration-Free| Size Name:32 GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tested against an Adata class 10 card and it was a bit faster. It ran about 19.6MB/S write speed for most of the ATTO benchmarks, and 20MB/S for read. The price is really good for a real class 10 card. It works in my Canon T2i just fine

5.0 out of 5 stars One of best SD cards I have used July 12, 2012
Style Name:Retail| Product Packaging:Amazon Frustration-Free| Size Name:32 GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had Kingston SD cards with my old Canon Powershot S3 IS. I bought a class 4 SD card for my new Canon EOS T3i but I was unable to record 1080p videos with that card. So I decided to by Class 10 SD card.

I found this card for a good price and bought it. I am very much satisfied by the throughput that I get with this card. I am able to record 1080p 30FPS videos with my T3i using this card.

I am very much happy that I bought this card. The packaging of this card was not as impressive as any other card, but thats fine as far as it have such a great throughput.
