Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6E
Customer Review: Used in Treo 700p and in USB Card Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
This 8GB SDHC is my second Transcend SD card. My first was an 1GB SD.
After having used some real slowpoke doozies in my Treos (namely Ritek, PNY, and "generic" cards of capacities between 1-4GB), I would rate these as good or better than SanDisk Ultra II's for quality and speed. The 1GB 120x Transcend SD card seemed almost as fast, but this Class 6 SDHC card is the fastest SD card I've ever owned. Saving 300k photos is almost instant and so is switching between apps and email stored on the card.
Note, though, if using on the Palm OS - it will show only 4GB available; however, once you fill up the first 4GB, it will then show the actual remaining capacity. It does not affect the amount (7.5GB) of usable space, though. This is a quirk of the PalmOS rather than the card. Using an SD-to-USB adaptor, the capacity shows correctly.
I can't wait to get my hands on the 16GB version from Transcend (and later the 32GB version) at a reasonable price (i.e., when they fall under $100).
Customer Review: Didn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, hard to give this a better review than 1 star. I bought this as a gift for my sister, who took a bunch of pictures with it and then recorded some video. At some point in the video, the card got corrupted and lost everything on it, and has failed to work ever since. Recovery disks were used and could not recover anything. After that experience, I would certainly recommend paying more for a more reliable product. It sounds like a number of other people had the same experience, making the 4.5 stars it currently has quite misleading (hense my reason for writing the same review numerous others have written in hopes of helping others avoid this mistake). I believe the product does have a warranty, but considering I was hoping to give my sister a nice gift, not have her waste several hours taking pictures that would be lost because of this product, I don't think the warranty is worth that much. Also, once you lose all your pictures are you really going to trust the makers of that product again?Customer Review: Card Failure
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item a few months back for an ASUS Eee PC. Sometime later the Eee PC went south in odd ways, and after some tinkering I managed to isolate the 8 GB flash card as a suspect. I reformatted it and put it in a digital camera to see if I got errors there.
It worked fine for a while and then I started to get errors while trying to dump pictures from the card after plugging it into my HP desktop. The first error I recovered the card after a file system repair, the second time the card had to be reformatted. Since I couldn't trust it, I tossed it. Incidentally, the HP desktop worked fine with other flash cards.
I would say that the card worked fine most of the time in both the Eee PC and the digital camera. Since I have only one sample point to consider, there's no way I have of knowing if there was a real problem with the product, or if the chip I bought was an "outlier" and other chips work fine in general. But I throw out my experience as a data point.

Adquirí el SDHC Transcend 8Gb Clase 6 y estoy muy conforme con la calidad del producto y su desempeño. He hecho pruebas de performance y sorprendentemente llega a compararse con el "SanDisk 8 GB Ultra II SDHC Card", pero por 30US$ menos :D
Sobre WindowsXP y con un lector SDDR-113 (Sandisk) llega a 19MB/sec de lectura y 14MB/sec de escritura según HD Tune PRO.
El producto me fue entregado en su blister de fábrica, sellado y con los manuales y papelería de rigor

Customer Review: Defective
Summary: 2 Stars
I was persuaded to buy two of these SDHC cards by all the positive reviews. The first one was defective. It made my brand new Nikon D90 behave strangely. About 25% of the time when I turned the camera on the "Format" screen on the LCD popped up asking if I wanted to format the card. I selected "No" and pushed the o.k. button. Unfortunately, this did not get rid of the screen. I had to turn the camera off and on once, twice, or three times to get rid of the screen. It also happened sometimes during a shooting session. At first I thought that I had a defective camera. After using the card for a couple of days and still having the same problem I decided to try the other card. Using this second card solved the problem and it hasn't happened again after several days of using it. I went back and read the negative reviews and decided that the quality control by the manufacturer isn't very good. I'm going to send both of them back and order a couple of Sandisk SDHC cards.
