Rating: - Inexpensive... if it works
I bought a couple of these and I'll admit the fault could be attributable to my flash video camera but one of my cards (with all my Christmas videos from this year) won't work at all. I can't even reformat it. It's just toast. So far the other one is still working but for now I'm sticking with my much more expensive SanDisk Extreme cards until I figure out if it's the camera or the card with the issue.
Rating: - Adaptable technology with high capacity
I need flexible, dependable technology that can go anywhere, plug into anything, and can carry the load. This combo fits the bill.
The USB card reader is smaller than a stick of gum and feels solid when I plug it into a personal computer. It can use any SD memory card out there, not just the one that comes in this pack. I still have a larger multicard reader for oddball formats like MD, CF, and SM cards, but the reader in this pack is my workhorse since I have mostly SD cards.
The 16GB card has performed solidly for me. The transfer rate is faster than other SD cards I've used of lower capacity. The lock switch feels good when it clicks into place. I've never lost files on it or had to reformat.
I tend to put my tech to weird uses. I could use the card to transfer files between computers, but I've chosen to use it in the secondary memory slot of my Nokia N800 Mobile Computer. It offers enough space to hold many weeks' worth of downloaded podcasts and audiobooks, with plenty of room to spare. I've also used the reader/card combo on my girlfriend's car stereo, which has a USB slot for external media. Worked like a charm.
Even if I only needed another card for space, I would buy this pack with the included reader for portability and flexibility. Those benefits add so much value for very little extra price. I hope Transcend keeps making these for a long time as the capacities go up.
Rating: - 16GB SDHC not too small, not too big
My 16GB SDHC card with the reader works excellent with my recently purchased HD1010, and is the right size for capturing videos in high definition. 32GB is a little too big, and more expensive too. I will be purchasing another 16GB SDHC to keep as spare, rather than having one 32GB card. As for performance, it's not even an issue.
Rating: - Excellent!
16 GB on something so tiny? My Canon HF100 loves these flash cards. They hold about 2h10m of HD video. Amazing!
Rating: - Great card no problems
This is a great card and like the portable usb reader that comes with makes it easy upload pics.
