2-pack Sony Class 10 (Up to 94MB/s Read/45MB/s Write) SDHC Memory Cards: 32GB $35, 16GB $24 + Free Shipping

Quote from AkumaX : Can you.. elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean by that. FYI I left out a benchmark on purpose (as to not confuse). However, this benchmark expands on your comment re: max speed of USB 2.0 - USB 2.0 is 480mbit/s (or, 60MB/s) - after overhead/QoS/error correction/etc... the final speed is roughly 36MB/s read and 31MB/s write. Therefore... In a USB 3.0 card reader / USB 2.0 Port ========= Read |=| Write B&H -------- ~36MB/s | ~31MB/s Rakuten --- ~22MB/s | ~10MB/s source: tested it myself

I think usb 2.0 has a bottleneck around 30mb/s so even non-uhs1 cards which require usb 3.0 to get advertised speed, will still cap out around there.

update:

ya I was close enough

TU for the deal. Notice 1 year warranty:

SONY ELECTRONICS INC. (for U.S. Sales) and SONY OF CANADA
LTD (for Canadian Sales) (“SONY”) warrant this memory card product
against defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year
from date of original purchase.

I personally, prefer lifetime, because is way too much of a hustle to look for invoices, dates etc for such a small and simple product.

Got a 32GB version of it a while ago for $30 (Amazon) and the first time I used it in Canon T4i and transferred the movies to my laptop, the speed was amazingly fast. This is a great deal.

Discontinued.

In 4 1, thanks OP!

I think I'll stick with more reliability with Sandisk then this cheaper alternative. Why take the chance? Pay more now and avoid the pain and suffering later. The comments for this are usually "not the fastest...but good enough" and "the write speed isn't as advertised and my camcorder choked"...etc.

No longer available in either size...

Got my 32GB cards today, very fast cards. Both cards have sustained write speeds around 17MB/s!

test this Sony 32GB card vs my Transcend class 10

In a USB 2.0 card reader / USB 2.0 Port,
Transcend class 10 has write speed at around 17MB/s, this sony has 20-21MB/s, not big difference. Waiting for my Transcend USB 3.0 card reader to arrive.

in my T4i DSLR, set shooting mode at both RAW and JPEG, and continuous shooting.
With Transcend class 10 inside, It can shoot three times, then pause, then two times, pause, then one, then after many seconds and still not responsive.
With this Sony, while there are pauses in between, the shooting never ends when pressed.

In the Transcend USB 3.0 card reader (Full performance from UHS-I cards 87MB/s read,
41MB/s write)

this sony has 46MB/s write, 77MB/s read

16GB 2 pack is now $18.95
