Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card with USB 2.0 Card Reader TS8GSDHC6-S5W
Customer Review: Great value, works well
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered this for $18, although the current price ($19.28) is still a very good deal.
My main reason for purchase was to get an SDHC reader for my wife's camera (previously bought a Transcend 4GB SDHC card that was itself almost $15).
The reader works well on my Vista x64 machine and on my wife's Win XP SP2 laptop.
Performance seems good. Not quite as fast as my Corsair USB flash drive but damn close.
Ordered it from Amazon, along with another item fulfilled by Amazon, and both arrived together faster than expected.
Customer Review: Best deal - 8Gb SDHC card
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these 8Gb SDHC cards. At $15 each with a dedicated reader (for SD cards only) and free shipping (with Amazon Prime in trial version)they are my best deal ever with Amazon. The cards are good and responsive. I use them with a Canon SX10 IS and so far I didn't have any issue. I tested the card reader in three different OS and it worked smoothly in Windows XP, Mac Leopard and Linux Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, after few days they raised the price, but if it drops back to $15 or less I'll buy more of these very good and responsive SDHC cards.
Customer Review: Worked great for about 6 months
Summary: 2 Stars
...then suddenly quit working without warning. Windows advanced disk management tool says the card has one 3.71 GB unformatted partition. ??? (I haven't tried reformatting yet because I'm still trying to recover the data.) The card is unreadable on several different computers; all my data is probably gone.
The card *reader* still works fine with other SD cards.
Stay away from off-brands like Transcend.
Update: Transcend replaced the card under warranty without any problems. So I'm change my rating to "2 stars."
Customer Review: Memory card great; Reader not so hot
Summary: 3 Stars
Memory card works as advertised, and was a great price. Included reader is very touchy. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Luckily, I have a couple more SDHC readers so no big deal, but don't buy it thinking you're getting a handy reader that you can rely on. I sure wouldn't travel with that reader. But on the other hand, even with the so so reader, the price for the card itself was very good. Again, like I said in another review, some of this computer stuff is just a commodity, and the determining factor should normally be best price.Customer Review: Does exactly what it's supposed to
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product because I messed up the USB port on my camera. The camera itself worked fine, but without the ability to take the pictures off of my camera it was rendered pretty much useless. The price to get it fixed was obscene, so I decided to look for some kind of memory card port for my computer. That's when I stumbled upon this little product.
It completely solves the issue I was having, and the product itself works perfectly. I'd highly recommend this product if it's something that fills a need for anyone.
