Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of A-DATA Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card
Customer Review: This is not really a Class 6 write speed!
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently discovered that this ADATA 16GB card purchased here on Amazon.com back in July of 2009 is not really a Class 6 speed card as claimed. I used it recently in two high quality digital recorders (an Edirol R-09 and a new Roland R-05) to record at 96Khz, 24bit wav file format. The card caused the Edirol R-09 (with firmware v1.3 enabled for 96hz sampling rate) to give error messages "Card slow writing..." errors. On the newer Roland R-05 recorder, it slowed the unit CPU down so much that all the recording indicators on the LCD display were lagging in response time (record level meters and record timer indicator were all updating extremely slow and lagging about 1 second to 2 seconds behind actual sound recorded. The slow writing times of this card slowed the unit down so that even the buttons on the Roland R-05 recorder fail to respond to your key presses unless you keep pressing the key. This slowed down behavour of these devices is all due to the slow writing speed to this ADATA 16GB card. It definitely is not a CLASS 6 card as advertised! So beware. You do get 16GB storage space but not at the claimed faster speed. It is more like a CLASS 2 or lesser speed rating. Not joking here folks, my ADATA 16GB card is slow! Using another 2GB Toshiba and 2GB Transcend SDHC Class 2 rated cards in these devices works flawlessly and does not have slow write speeds like this fake rated CLASS 6 ADATA card! So if you need high speed writes, stay away from this deceptive low priced 16GB card.
Updated 07/15/2010 - Well I wrote to A-DATA support explaining my situation. They sent me a link to download an SD/SDHC formatting utility to reformat my 16GB SDHC card and said try writing to it again and if it still did not work that they would RMA it and fix or replace it. Well I downloaded the reformatter tool and performed a low level format of my ADATA SDHC card. It took awhile to format it but after it was done, I used the card in my Roland R-05 to try recording at 96khz/24bit audio quality again and Wow! it worked. The card did not slow down my recorder nor have any slow write problems. So I did not have to waste time and money RMA'ing the card after all. I don't know if it will hold up for the long term, but so far it seems to have done the trick! So you all can download the reformatter util and low level format your slow cards, it might fix the slowness problem.
Updated 07/17/2010 - Oh No! I spoke too soon! This card has once again failed and is giving me slow write speeds. It is causing "Card Slow Writing" errors on my Roland R-05 digital recorder at 96khz/24bit highest quality recording format. I am going to now ask ADATA support to RMA and replace this 16GB ADATA SDHC card and hope that I get one that really is Class 6. What a hassle.
Description of A-DATA Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card
The Best Choice for High-end Digital Devices! To save every precious, valuable and romantic moment, you may purchase high resolution digital camera, digital camcorder, or other high-end devices. However, normal Secure Digital Cards (SD Cards) on the market today may not let you capture these moments because of slow read/write speed. Slow read/write speed may cause lag time between shots and result in missing the opportunity to record some of your finest memories. This A-DATA Turbo SDHC Memory Card (Class 6), rated a Class 6 performance card which means the card has a guaranteed write speed of at least 6MB/s, will reduce time between shots.Blank Media
