Great Value for the Price
on April 11, 2010
Update 3/6/2012 I own about 20 Transcend cards now. They have all worked without an issue untill today. I dread calling any company for return support because it usually is such a tortured experience...(Ever tried calling SanDisk for product support?) Withing 20 seconds of dialing I was connected to their representative Marc Crawford. He was able to quickly and clearly guide me to the support I needed. It was such a shockingly great experience that I wanted to pass it along to potential purchasers.UPDATE 9-10 I own 4 of these cards now. I have more of these than any other card I own because they are a very good value for capacity/price/and speed. My initial disappointment over the lack of super high speed is outweighed by the reality that this card is an exceptional value.
If you own a compact digital camera, or SD/HD video camera, this card will exceed the capabilities of all of them. For compact cameras the card isn't usually the slowest part of the data write process, it's the camera.
This card unloads very quickly with a 20MB/s read speed. You will need a SDHC card reader if you don't have one. A standard SD card reader will not read a HC (high capacity) card.
These cards make great gifts. I have given several of the 8 Gig cards as gifts and have received appreciation and great comments from all the recipients.
UPDATED REVIEW:
I purchased this card making the assumption that all class 10 cards had the same read and write speed. This was a poor assumption on my part. In order for a card to qualify for class 10 speed the card needs to be certified to have 10MB/s write and read speed. Some manufacturers classify their cards at a slower speed even though they qualify for a higher class. SanDisk make some cards that would qualify for class 10 and rates them as class 6.
The product photo on Amazon does not have the card's speed printed on it. The card that was shipped shows the front of the card printed with "20MB/s" which is the cards read speed. The cards write speed is 16MB/s.
I own a SanDisk Extreme III class 10 card that has (up to) 30MB/s read and write speed. My Nikon D-90 that can take advantage of the SanDisk cards speed. The difference is the SanDisk card can capture 100 photos at fine resolution in 24 seconds. The Transcend card captures 66 photos in the same time/resolution.
I reality very few people will ever have the need to drill off 100 photos in 24 seconds, but I can't stand to lose a good shot because the camera is slow while writing to the card and I can't fire the shutter. You can hear this happen at about 4.5 seconds in the video review. This does not happen with the SanDisk class 10 30MB/s card.
If you own an SLR that is capable of rapid fire, high-resolution photography you may want to consider the SanDisk Extreme III 30 MB/s card. It is expensive.
This card is reasonably priced for a class 10 card. Just know what you are getting, what your needs may be, and what else is available. I own other Transcend cards and they have always worked properly without any issues.
The video that I attached shows this card with the same 24 seconds that I gave the SanDisk Card.

I bought 2 of these and used the first one for a photo shoot. Afterwards the card said it needed to be formatted. I had to pay for memory recovery to recover the photos sense no card reader would read it. I thought it was a one time thing sense I have owned Transcend cards before and have NEVER had any problems. I formatted the card and carried on. A few days later I was shooting a wedding reception. 45 minuets into the event the card said it needed to be formatted again and wouldn't let me continue to use it. I decided I had a faulty card and popped the second one in. After two more hours the second card did the same thing. Cost me $150 in total to recover all the photos as well as having to run out during the reception to buy another card quickly so I could finish photographing the event. If it was just very random faulty cards then I must have had REALLY bad luck. As it is, 2/2 is a pretty bad record. I'm moving on the kingston or sandisk instead of taking the risk.

I purchased these through J&R Music and Computer World via Amazon a couple of months ago as preparation for my Paris vacation. I owned a Class 6 Transcend 8GB card for a long time and it was fast and never had any problems, so I figured I should get two of these class 10 cards as backup as i wasn't going to be bringing my laptop with me.
Despite these being class 10 and therefore supposed to be faster, the ones i received are SLOWER than my class 6. I tested both cards and took various photos around the house and noticed there's a distinct 2 second or so lag after i take a photo. With my class 6 card, I can take a photo and immediately change to view mode to look at what i just took a pic of. With the class 10 card when I do this, I get a message saying something like "recording, please wait" for around 2 seconds before my photo appears. When taking photos too, with the class 10 there's a very obvious 2 second lag after each photo.
I kept both cards because I was paranoid i'd run out of space on my class 6 card and i already tossed the packaging (returns seems to require original intact packaging? how does that work if i obviously have to open it to test the card? O__o ). Ultimately my single class 6 8gb card from years ago was plenty for my trip so these two cards were a waste purchase...probably giving one to mom when i buy her a new camera later.
in any case, these cards are oddly far slower than my class 6 transcend 8gb cards. I haven't used it long enough to know if there are any other issues (such as ones described by other reviewers that it corrupts after a few months of usage).

I use these fast SDHC cards in my Sony A65 DSLR. I select them based on price and write speed. This card is faster than the memory buss in my camera so it's quite fast enough. I can shoot burst mode as fast as the camera allows, and I can push video to it at the camera's 1920 x 1080 / 60p with no interruption imposed by the card.
Read speed isn't very important to me. I always plug the card into my desktop or laptop and move all of the photo files to the computer for editing. I'm not interactively editing files on the card.
The price was certainly acceptable. I've used Transcend SD cards for several years without having a single failure.
I highly recommend this card.

Got this at a substantial discount from Amazon Warehouse Deals. Complete with a full set of vacation photos from Turkey. Not only do I get this amazingly fast card, I have a complete set of pictures to brag about my travels with complete strangers. Now I just have to photoshop myself in a few shots, presto..instant vacation under $30.
Thanks frugal travelers.

Well this was my third attempt to provide a good size SD to my Nintendo Wii, first I try with a "AmazonBasics 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card with SD Adapter", but that didn't work on my Wii, then I try with a "SanDisk 32 GB Mobile microSDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDQ-032G-AFFP" without no luck, those cards where used to fill up smartphones so it was OK, but I took my chances with this since it is just and SD Card, so will not fit on any other device I had.
I check the reviews and many comments where about people using this card on their Wii so I fell safe, as soon as I get the card, start to fill it with all the good stuff a Nintendo Wii can play, so I'm really happy to have this card by the price of USD$17 great purchase.
So for everyone with a Wii out there, looking for a memory card, I tell you this is the card for the machine, have great speed so the videos don't stop and have tons of space to use it with all the contents available for the Wii.

I have purchased several Transcend SD cards. For a long time I liked them until the day I didn't.
While traveling on vacation and without warning the card failed. As a general rule I back my cards up frequently. However I had several days of vacation photos on this one. It took me several months to recover the photos. I tried every photo recovery product I could find. None of them worked. Then one day the car just worked on its own. This allowed me the opportunity to back up the photos quickly. I have subsequently switched to using Samsung and SanDisk cards. To be fair, these could fail also but they haven't and this one did.

So far so good, it arrived packaged well, worked upon insertion into the SD card slot & so far hasn't corrupted- I have had higher end, name brand cards corrupt on me too, so even if it does eventually corrupt- I won't hold it against them. I am not overly picky about my SD cards- I tend to lose them long before they become damaged, so the price and the other positive reviews were good enough for me. If you need a good all around SD card- this should suit your needs just fine. Just learn from my past mistakes and back up your media before you lose your card. When I lose this one, I will just reorder the same one from this seller.

I ordered "Transcend 32GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card Up to 30MB/s (TS32GSDHC10)" together with my camera. I am not an expert in these but I needed a memory card and this works really good for me. Have been using it already for over 4 years. Never had any complains. The price is also conveniently not too expensive. Would recommend this memory card to everyone!

I bought one of these cards about a year ago and at first it worked great. I took probably 2000 pictures on it without an issue. Then suddenly as I was reviewing my pictures on the camera there was an error saying two of the files were corrupted and could not be read. Once I plugged the card into a computer the files were there but had artifacts of previous pictures in them and bars of color running across the frame. I reformatted the card and figured it was a one time issue.
I then bought a second card in anticipation of a big trip (didn't want to go without a spare). The second card failed completely after about 100 pictures; the camera refused to read it and simply said memory card error. I switched back to the first card and used that for a few days but then noticed that the corrupted file issue had returned and this time was affecting 4 pictures. I ended up buying a Toshiba 4GB card and using that for the rest of the trip.
When I returned home and plugged the second Transcend card into a computer I was not able to even view the pictures in Explorer and had to use a data recovery program (PhotoRec by CG Security, which is excellent by the way) to even access them.
Random manufacturing defects happen so I didn't think much of the problems with the first card, but at this point it seems more like a pattern. From now on I'm willing to pay a premium for cards from more established brands.
