4 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Memory Card TS4GUSDHC4

I got this during Black Friday week on Amazon for less than a dollar per gigabyte, but even at regular price it seems like a good deal. I bought it to replace the 16GB Sandisk chip that came with my Droid X. I'm glad I did, because not only does this Transcend have twice the storage capacity as the micro SDHC card I was replacing, it is considerably faster as well (which was a bit of a surprise as both chips are class 4). For those of you who are thinking of buying this for the same reason I did - to upgrade the amount of storage on your smart phone - it's easy to transfer all the files and folders (apps, data, photos, etc.) on your old card to the new one. I was wondering if it was as easy as just doing a standard Windows file transfer operation, and indeed it is. My notebook only has one SD card slot, so I created a backup folder on my C: drive. I plugged my original micro SDHC card into the micro-to-SD adapter that came with the new Transcend and put it in the SD slot in my notebook. Then all I did was select every file and folder in the root directory of my old card and drag it to the temporary backup folder. Then I put the new chip in the notebook's SD slot, selected every folder and file in the backup folder, and dragged everything over to the new chip from the backup folder. No hidden files to worry about not being copied; all my apps still worked perfectly after I put the new chip in my phone. During this transfer operation and subsequent testing I noticed that read speeds ranged between 15 and 22 MB/second. Write speeds are about 4 to 6 MB/second. While these specs are in line with a class 4 chip, you may find the write speed a bit slow if you do a lot of high-speed, full-resolution image taking (such as shooting multiple frames per second with a digital SLR camera, for example). This was not a concern for me, though, so I didn't test it. After installation I noticed that my Gallery and file manager apps accessed files considerably more quickly than on my old Sandisk chip, which was a pleasant surprise. For example, when I play a movie, it loads and begin playing the movie twice as quickly as it did with the old card. Formatted capacity is 29.7 gigabytes, which is perfectly normal for formatted storage devices rated 32 GB. There are other reviews here which get into the binary vs. decimal definition of "gigabyte", so I won't get into that here. Suffice it to say when it says "29.7 gigabytes free", you're not getting cheated. Overall, a very nice product, and I'm glad I decided to get it.

For price, warranty, speed, and dependability, look no further. This is the best of the bunch. To be fair, it is not perfect. There are pros and cons. . . PROS . 1. The unit comes with an SD adapter. As a result, it is usable for many electronic devices. . 2. The speed is fast for a Class 4. . The write speed range is between 2.8-5.3 mb/s. Most of the write activity is at 4.0 mb/s. . The read/data transfer rate is between 13 and 25 mb/s. Most of the transfer activity concentrates at 19 mb/s. . I use this storage device in my Sansa MP3 Player. I can not tell the difference in speed between the built-in 8 gb. internal memory or the Transcend 32 gb. In fact, I prefer the recordings on the latter. The music sounds better. . 3. It is the only product with a lifetime limited warranty. So, the material and construction have to be high quality. . . . Transcend is not stupid. Too many defects and short life make the product unprofitable to sustain. . 4. The manufacturer is a multi-billion Taiwan based firm. It is not a "fly-by night" company that is going to disappear and not fulfill its legal service obligations. . 5. The bulk of Amazon.com reviews on this product is good, with the exception of two or three who received their products D.O.A. All other consumers are very happy with their purchases. . 6. I like it so much that I ordered another. . . CONS . 1. The true storage volume is 29.7 gb., not the advertised 32 gb. . 2. Transcend does not market a Class 6 or 10 MicroSDHC, but three other Amazon.com vendors do at very good prices. Of course, there are issues with their products. . For $15 more, PNY has a Class 10 with 32 gb. The customer reviews are not as good as the Transcend product, and it has a one-year warranty. . . . Again, Class 10s, as a group, are known to have read and write problems. This is true for all brands. So, until the industry improves on the stability issues that are inherent in Class 10s, it may be better to avoid them. . 3C Pro sells a Class 6 with 32 gb. Customer reviews are better than Transcend. Unfortunately, the company is not listed on Google.com and does not have a website, although many online companies sell its products. Its biggest problem is product warranty. There is none. This was verified by Amazon.com's customer service. . Komputerbay markets a Class 10 with 32 gb. with a lifetime warranty. One set of Amazon.com customer evaluations gave high ratings, while another gave average marks. Despite the reviews, I never heard of this company - so I conducted an online investigation. The firm is a small importer of Chinese-made electronic devices. It buys up cheap stuff and sells them under its brand. The quality is not consistent because the manufacturing sources vary. As a result, there are consumer complaints listed on the internet.

I had been looking for a 32GD microSDHC to expand the music storage on my phone and the Transcend 32GH microSDHC card came up on Gold Box at a good price. When the card arrived, I put it in my Droid X. It told me the SD card was ready to be removed. I told it to mount, and it again told me the card was ready to be removed. I took it out, inserted it again, no luck. I read online that sometimes the cards needed to be formatted in a computer. I used a USB reader to try and format the card on my Windows 7 desktop. It said the card couldn't be formatted. I put it in my Windows XP SP3 netbook and tried to format it but got the same message I did from Win 7. I tried it in my Nikon and my roommate's Panasonic, both with the included Transcend microSD to SD adapter and my Sandisk adapter. No luck. I decided to try one more thing and download the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. It's supposed to work even when the default Windows utility does not. No luck. Throughout all of this, I made sure the above devices would read my 1GB, 8GB, and 16GB SanDisk microSDHC cards. They all did so without a problem. I can only conclude that the 32GB microSDHC card by Transcend was a dud. Thankfully, Amazon offered me a replacement. If the replacement Transcend card does not work, I'll make sure to stay away from all Transcend products and advise my friends - who often look to me for tech advice and support - to do the same. I'll come back and update this when the new card arrives. UPDATE 4/13 - I got the new card a week ago. This one works right out of the packaging. I just slipped it in my Droid X and was rewarded with ~ 29GB of free space. I've been holding off on writing this to make sure there weren't any issues, and there haven't been. I changed my review to four stars. It'd be five if the first one didn't arrive defective.

I bought 3 of these cards together based on other reviews I read from Amazon and other sites. I was contemplating between Transcend and Sandisk. I was planning to get them for my Sandisk Sansa Fuze ironically and ended up going with Transcend instead. The cards came in perfect condition each with their own adapter, that you can plug the Mirco SD card into and then insert the adapter card (along with the Micro sd card inside) into a SDHC/SDXC slot; in my case it was for my iMac and Macbook pro. This out of the package is ready to run and works on both Mac and PC. It already comes formatted with a space of approximately 30 GB, so that makes it easier to start using it instantly without the need of a computer first, so this is excellent for people with cameras that need a card on the go and don't have a computer as there isn't a need to format it first. SPEED - The actual speed is consistent with the advertised speeds here on amazon. It takes about 10-15 seconds to reach its max for long transfers and then stays at that speed with little to no fluctuation. Don't expect anything super fast here as it is a class 4 and will not give you anything more than it says. Although it's still pretty fast and is excellent to use if you don't need to transfer very frequently back and forth. For my purposes, this was excellent. I put all my songs on these cards once in the cards so it was somewhat a one-time thing for me and didn't mind the wait. PERFORMANCE - In all my years using all types of cards (SD, microSD, pro stick duo etc.), this is the first card and company that deliver performance exactly as advertised. So far I have never had these crash during any transference and the speed stays consistent. Also no problem in connecting with my sansa fuze. The speeds will not go higher or lower than the advertised speed, so you can actually see if these speeds are enough for you. Although I have heard that other higher classes above 4 have had some problems, so might want to research more on that. DURABILITY - I remember reading somewhere that these can last at least up to 10, 000 re-inserts. Personally, I really wouldn't even bother with the stats. I take my cards in and out of my Sansa Fuze everyday so it goes through a lot and after using them for over 2 months, nothing seems to have changed. It's still in the exact excellent shape as it was. WARRANTY - These come with a lifetime warranty and not 1 or 2 year so you'll be pretty much set in terms of financial safety. Although you probably won't end up ever using it as these are built excellently and built to last a long time. Final Thoughts - You get what you see here, nothing more and nothing less. It does what it's meant to do and without any problems of freezing up. The speeds are pretty much exactly as advertised so you can decide if the speed is enough for you or not. The actual build of both the adapter and the micro sd card are tank, super tough and no worrying about breaking them. After 2 months of daily use, nothing has happened to these cards. If something goes wrong, well...you have a lifetime warranty, although you will not end up using it. I will definitely recommend this to anyone without any hesitation. Sandisk and Sony are good as well but as you might have read from other reviews that you can't go wrong with Transcend...yup I agree. Sony and Sandisk have previously given me problems with freezing up but never with Transcend.

I dont do reviews.. I think this might be my first. But I consider myself pretty tech savi. I was upgrading from 16 gig class 2 microsd. It transferred at about 3.4 megabytes a second to my PC. I looked at alot of micro SD cards and I usually do my homework before making a purchase. This one is the best for its $$$ in terms of capacity (32 gigs, reads 29.7) and speed (class 4). I get a transfer speed of 9 megabytes a seconds (which is nuts for a class 4! class + # = speed in Megabytes which can vary though depending on quality etc.), when I go into my phone, images/videos load up 3 times faster, it used to take me like 1 min to load 88 image thumbnails. Now it takes like 3-10 seconds. Highly recommended, transcend is sort of a well known name brand. Quality wise.. will if t breaks within the first year, Ill be posting here again. A side note. dont go for the class 10 cards, they are unreliable and i read reviews that they break fairly easy. Unless its a great name brand and not some Unknown KompPlus yada yada company. I think itll be fine. Also class 10 on smaller size microsd should be more reliable.

I needed a microsd card for my new tablet (one that actually has expandable storage....) I have a 16gb microsd card in my phone and wasn't sure if that would be enough. This Transcend 32GB card was on sale with a $5 MP3 credit as well. That sealed the deal for me... at least price wise. I was hesitant to buy a few of the other brand SD cards through Amazon. I've seen quite a few fake SD cards and Transcend/Kingston were the only two sold directly from Amazon I believe at the time of my purchase. I have used this card for approximately 3 weeks and it does the job well. I have transferred quite a few movies and larger files back and forth. Speed is obviously a little slow when transferred large files as it is only a Class 4 card. I would say it comes pretty close to class 4 speeds, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Class 10 32GB cards hard a good bit more expensive though. I almost want to pick up another one for my phone now so I don't have to worry so much about my phone card filling up.

This product 'transcended' my expectations. I'd never heard of this brand before I purchased this product, so was a little apprehensive about its quality and durability. 3.5 years later, this bad boy is still going strong. Works well with all the gadgets I've used and hasn't caused any problems yet. I would say that I've definitely squeezed my money's worth from this product. Transfers between device and card and quick and easy, but the speed usually depends on your device rather than this card. The adapter is also an excellent add-on. I've used it interchangeably with multiple microSD cards and had no issues. In fact, I leave it attached to my PC at all times (without the microSD) so I don't misplace it and works like a charm. I would say I'd get this product again, but I don't see this causing any issues for a long time so I may never have the need to get it replaced.

The product is very good, I like it. The trouble was that they sent me two small cards in a big package. I live in Costa Rica, then import the package is charged by weight, being so big I had to pay a lot of money simply because the box was extremely large. El producto es muy bueno, me gusta mucho. Lo malo fue que me enviaron 2 pequeñas tarjetas en un paquete muy grande. Yo vivo en Costa Rica, entonces la importación del paquete lo cobran por peso, al ser tan grande tuve que pagar mucho dinero simplemente por la caja que era extremadamente grande.

Ho comprato questo prodotto per trasferire sul mio smartphone una serie di file multimediali in modo da poter ascoltare musica durante sessioni sportive o per intrattenimento durante passeggiate o attese. Le dimensioni generose di questa piccola scheda di memoria offrono molte possibilità per tablet e cellulari, inoltre la velocità di trasmissione, a quanto ho potuto notare è adeguata alle mie aspettative (non ho eseguito benchmarks ma ad occhio non sembra niente male). L'ho provata anche su una reflex con l'adattatore incluso, funziona adeguatamente. Il packaging invece è terribile, dovete usare delle forbici per aprire la confezione di plastica saldata attraverso fusione su tutti i lati, impossibile da aprire senza un taglierino da tappezziere, un coltellino o una forbice; queste robe le odio. Nella confezione è inclusa anche una carta con un codice alfanumerico per scaricare un software chiamato RescuePro Deluxe di LC-Tech, che dovrebbe servire per recuperare i file perduti da schede di memoria come questa. Credo che sia un abbonamento a questo software per un anno, non saprei dire di più perché non l'ho ancora provato.

Does the job,

Un ami l'avait acheté, prix intéressant, et bonne qualité? Réputation de la marque. Reconnaissable directement par mon téléphone Sony xperia sp, via mon mac. Je recommande

El título lo dice todo, esta tarjeta funciona perfectamente y cumple con su cometido, si además vale poco dinero, qué más podemos pedir. ¡Ah sí!, que dure mucho.

La scheda Transcend TS16GUSDHC4E Scheda MicroSDHC Classe 4, 16 GB, Nero è davvero ottima per l'utilizzo nel telefonino ma anche in altri dispositivi che supportino le micro sd o le sd ( logicamente usando l'adattatore che vi arriva insieme alla micro sd ) Spedizione super veloce, come sempre da parte di Amazon e Prezzo economico ( pagato euro 10,35).... Consigliato..... ;)
