Kingston Vs. Transcend As far as reliability for SD memory cards, any idea what the most reputable brand is?

I haven't tried Kingston yet, but two 8GB Transcend cards have completely failed me, losing valuable data. Don't buy Transcend!

I have used Kingston exclusively with no problems ... but only for image files. However, Transcend claims to have error correction control in their Flash Cards. (No such claim is made for the Transcend Flash Drives).Kingston offers error correction -- but i can only find it on a mil-spec card that is very expensive.ECC memory that actually functioned could be worth its weight in gold for software. An image file or document that drops a bit here and there probably is not a problem.Does anyone have hard data on this?see Transcend Web Page for example of claim:http://www.transcendusa.com/Products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=216&LangNo;=32&Func1No;=1&F;unc2No=13 I have used Kingston exclusively with no problems ... but only for image files.

I've never tried Transcend, but I've got three Kingston SD cards I've been using for 2+ years with no problems whatsoever. I take photos almost every day, pull the cards from my cameras and use a reader to transfer files rather than transferring directly from my camera with a cable, and the Kingston cards have held up to this wear and tear. I also use SanDisk cards and am equally happy with the quality of those.

I bought the Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card (TS32GSDHC10E). I wouldn't go lower than class 10 because you need the speed. I also buy Sandisk brand.

Which one? I tried the Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader), and it isn't compatible. Thanks, Kat

I also purchased the Transcend 16GB Class 6 card. As a previous poster mentioned, the card is a good price on Amazon. I originally purchased a 32GB Transcend Class 4 card. Reading posts on the internet I discovered Class 6 was the way to go. I returned the 32GB card to Amazon. Unfortunately 32GB seem to be a bit more pricey. I purchase 2 16GB Class 6 Transcend cards. They basically equaled the price of te 32GB Class 4.

Any card should work, micro SD isn't proprietary its a standard so any brand should work just fine. Keep in mind the read write speeds when you make your purchase, regardless of brand shoot for something class six or above. A class ten is the best but six is good ,anything below that is a bit sluggish. Good luck

I got this one on amazon. Has been working fine with no issues for several months now:SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter, Frustration-Free Packaging - SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A [Old Version]

I bought the following memory card: Transcend 16GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card

The Transcend 16g SDHC + reader is here, Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-S5WMake sure you purchase from Amazon directly. TheMemStore also say they sell this combo, but ship a Digital Matrex reader instead of Transcend and it has poor performance. Good luck!

When I bought my camera I bought a Transcend 32 Gb class 10 sdhc flash memory,thru Amazon for $24.00. Lots of storage and I love it. You need the 10 rating. I don't think I will ever have to buy another one. Hope this helps

I had some major issues with this memory card purchased in Jan 2014, finally sent it back and purchased a transcend 64G card, works great with my Samsung S3 phone. Not sure if they fixed the problem or not with these cards. Hope this helps.

Thank you all for your prompt answers. I actually tried the Kingston Technology 128 GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Class 10 Memory Card and it worked! I hope that our dialogue has been beneficial to all. God bless!

Personally I alway go by "you get what you pay for". I actually use the SanDisk Extreme III card. It has a 30mb/s rate, highest in its class I believe. The cards are a little on the expensive side, especially for the 16GB, but worth it I think. Because of the high compression rate, it take a while to download/transfer files, this helps with that when you have an average computer. Not an overwhelming difference, but enough to say "Awesome".

So far I've used a sandisk and a kingston in it, audio/photo/data any run seemingly with out issue.

I use a 8GB Transcend and it holds hore than 2,000 pics, however if you shoot a lot of video I would take the advice of others I see and go with a 16GB for very little more $.

I've been using Trascend (class 10) and a Sandisk (class 4) memories. I've had no problems with either one. Hope it helps.
