Great speed at good price [Posted on 2008-07-31] The cards work very well and have a good price tag. I can recommend them. Transcend memory cards have not yet disappoint me. Other brands did.
Not 8GB! Actually a 7.44 GB [Posted on 2008-08-01] When I first discovered the Transcend 8GB SDHC Card (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6) I was truly delighted. It seemed to be a high quality, high capacity well priced SDHC card with high transfer rate.
I initially bought two of them. When they arrived and I started to use them I discovered two things:
The 8GB Cards dont hold 8GB of data. Even with the "Liberal" and perhaps questionable practice of using a Decimal (Base 10) approach to describe capacity of a Binary (Base 2) two device, this device doesn't even have 8GB by this "Liberal" standard.
It seems that the manufacture got the 8GB number claimed on the label by doing some creative accounting which rounds up to the nearest Gigabyte.
Now for many this might not be a big deal, but if you actually have video that takes an actual 8GB and wanted to play it on a portable device, then sort of 8GB doesn't really work for you.
I can't say to the file, "Well when you round up to the nearest GB then there is enough space for you"
The other thing that I noticed was that the SanDisk 8GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 Class 2) handled data transfers just as fast as this Class 6 did. I thought this was supposed to be faster?
Overall an okay SDHC card but BE AWARE THAT IT ISN'T REALLY 8GB!
did not work [Posted on 2008-08-01] This card did not work in anything I own except for my laptop. Being a class 6 I hoped it would work in my car stereo (Phase Linear UV8020. I wouldn't recommend it unless you already knew it would work in your device!
8 gb sd memory card great price and quality ! [Posted on 2008-08-02] This was an unbelievable LOW price for the sd card, and it even has a plasic storage case and card works a o.k. too-all is new !
Thank You !
Lots of space, very little cost! [Posted on 2008-08-02] I bought this card for my 10 MP camera. It can store over 3000 images at the highest quality setting. Fast read / write response. Well worth the 25 bucks I paid for it :-)
