Reviews for Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Card -80x

Transcend 80x 1GB SD Card

Strengths: Fast. Large capacity. Decent price.

Weakness: None.

Overall this is a great card. It is fast, has a large capacity, and is a great value. I also have a 60x 1GB SD card by ATP. Although it is not really a weakness, the Transcend card is not waterproof or weatherproof (and virtually indestructible) like the ATP card is. But the Transcend card is faster (80x vs. 60x) and cheaper (about $10 less). I would recommend this card because of its speed and price.

A Good Value

Strengths: Fast and inexpensive

Weakness: Five years warranty is weak.

It's rated 80X. But in my informal test it's not faster than 66X Ridata card of the same capacity. As long as it works, I really don't care that much.

Best SD card

Strengths: Fast and inexpensive

Weakness: none

I bought this card to use it in my digital video camera (Samsung SCD107) and it is perfect. The huge capacity and the speed are awesome.
Transcend is a very nice brand with good products and best prices. I have one flash drive from them and I'm very happy.
If I need another SD card for a gadget I'll buy this one again for sure.

Awsome Card

Strengths: Fast and low priced

Weakness: none as of yet

I just received the card and tested it in my Nikon 3700.
The camera saves images in half the time compared to a 512 meg 12x card.
The 12x card writes in about 3 seconds while this card can do the same work in 1.5.

Review on Transcend 1GB 80X Speed SD Card

Strengths: Faster writing speed than other brand SD card

Weakness: the reading speed is not as fast as specified on the manual

Get the card from Newegg. I use a hi-speed USB 2.0 card reader to test the performance, the testing software is ATTO Disk Benchmark. The writing speed is about 7MB/Sec which is faster than most other brand SD card, but the writing speed is only 8MB/Sec, 20% less than the speed specified on the manual, which supposed to be 10MB/Sec.

But I still recommend this card.

1GB 80x Transcend

Strengths: Best Price and works great...

Weakness: None noted with the card, but the plastic case is pretty much the same as a PNY case but the card doesn’t snap in place and will fall out when case is opened - so be careful

I have used with Nikon coolpix 3200 and 5900 and had no problems with either camera. Picture count on the 3200 is 999+ and 790 on the 5900 normal setting. I'm not sure my camera is able to take advantage of the faster speeds, but I like $$$ saving and no rebate to deal with...

80x 1GB SD Card

Strengths: Fast

Weakness: none

This is a very fast SD card and for the price, you cannot beat this one. I have not had any problem with using this in my PC and Palmone Treo 650 Smartphone.

FAST CARD cheap price

Strengths: Great transfer rates (assuming you are using a USB2 interface)

Weakness: None

This card is really fast but there are a few things you should consider before laying out for this card. The high speed card gains are only noticable when you have a camera shooting in burst mode, and when you are transfering pictures off the card into your computer while using a USB2 device and USB2 capable computer interface. The 'regular' speed versions of this card are usually $10-15 cheaper, so consider then and save money if the speed issue is unimportant to you.

Fast and reliable memory

Strengths: Fast write speed, large capacity and great warranty

Weakness: none found

Using on CoolPix 7900 and pictures are stored instantly, no time spent waiting for 7.1 megapixels of pictures storing. I also have taken 30 frame per second video on this camera and the memory has recorded it just as fast as it was taken. Overall this memory is very fast and with such a large size I don't need to offload pictures or video clips for a while. Would recommend this memory to everybody looking for instant storage.

Transcend 1GB 80X SD Card

Strengths: Very fast

Weakness: None

I've been using this card for couple months on my Canon Digital Powershot SD400 and I can say that this card is very fast. Even though it's not a brand name like Sandisk or Lexar, the quality and price of this card are unmatched.

Great card for a decent price

Strengths: Super fast

Weakness: None

Don't let the brand fool you. You might not have heard of this brand before, but it works great. I have used it on my PDA and digital camera with no compatiable problems at all. Highly recommended. Why pay $20+ dollars more for Sandisk or Lexar when this one is faster and cheaper.

A 80x secure digital card from transcend

Strengths: very fast and it is a bargain at this price

1GB Ultra Performance 80X SD Card is the best choice for your digital cameras and other handheld device. Transcend used only original SLC NAND Flash chips that have a higher write speed, lower power consumption, and superior durability compared with Secure Digital cards made with MLC chips.

It is very good at this price.

Good card

Strengths: fast, fits my camcorder.

Weakness: Not found yet

I bought this card for my panasonic-av100 camcorder and it works good, after I upgrade the firmware. 80X is perfect to this camcorder and the price is really hot.
I tested finest recording until the card is full and no problem at all.

great, fast card

Strengths: speedy, economical

Weakness: none as of yet

i just ordered this sd card from newegg and it's very fast. i used it in my sd300 in video mode and after >3 min it was still running. buy it before 7/17/05 from newegg and there's a rebate too. great value.

*edit*
i used the card to capacity and am impressed at its speed all the way to the end. i had trouble grabbing the photos off, but i think that was due to a problem with my card reader and not the card itself (i was able to grab the data by connecting my camera to my comp).

transcend may not be a big brand in the US yet, but i think it's just a little slower in breaking the US market. they probably wanted to wait until they had a great reliable product, unlike one taiwanese competitor sandisk (my first sandisk is the SLOWEST SD card ever known to man, AND it failed after a little over a year's use. i had to get it replaced). i have seen transcend product counters in taiwan for some time now so it's not just some new no-name brand - it just hadn't really penetrated the US market until now.

Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Card -80x

Strengths: quick write speed

Works very well in Minolta DiMage Z10. Much faster than the standard SD card. Would reccommend this card especially if you are taking action pictures.

Transcend

Strengths: Very fast transfer rate, high capacity

Weakness: none

I borrowed this from my friend a few days ago and was very impressed by the speed. I'll have to benchmark it to see exactly how fast it is but it's definitely worth the money.

Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Card -80x

Strengths: Very fast transfer rate, Didn't benchmark it but it burns.

Weakness: None noticed

Don't be turned away by the not so well known brand name, its an EXCELLENT product. Why pay 20 bucks more for a brand name? This is a fast an efficient card. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I bought it off NEWEGG, super fast shipping, I love that store :). I will use this in an mp3 player and Digital camera, I'm loving the high speed transfer rates for MP3 transfer, files, etc!

not bad, not great

Strengths: it's a little faster

Weakness: not as much a speed increase as expected

Perhaps it's a limitation of the Treo 650 in which I am using this card, but while this card *is* faster than the "regular" card it replaced, I wouldn't say it's 3x faster, never mind 80x faster...

Great Card, Fast, Good Value

Strengths: Speed and Price

Weakness: Not quite as fast as sandisk ultra II for some applications

Found this from newegg with rebates making it absurdly cheap, so I took a flyer, not knowing the brand. Performance has been outstanding. Found a detailed chart showing performance of this card vs. others in a Nikon D50 and it performed near the top of the pack, with only the Sandisk Ultra II beating it significantly.

Transcend 80x 1GB SD Card

Strengths: Fast, reliable

Weakness: None so far

Excellent card - highly recommend. Got it for my Axim x51v - works like a charm. Very fast - and 5 year warranty ain't that bad, c'mon now... In 5 years it's going to be obsolete anyway. Thinking about getting a second one actually.

Quite Good

Strengths: Quick

I'm using this card in a Canon SD400, and it's quite fast. Although I don't have empirical data to compare this card against others, I'm very happy with it so far.

fast and compatible

Strengths: fast, reliable and compatible

Weakness: so far so good

The Transcend 80x secure digital card really is fast. And it compatible, works great for my PDA (palm TE) and KODAK camera (DX6490). The quality and the price are much important, though it is not a brand name.

Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Card -80x

Strengths: Transfers quickly and cheap price.

Weakness: None as of yet.

Product works fine in my Kodak 3.2MegaPixal camera but I cannot tell a significant difference between this card which is 80X and a 60X card I bought a month ago.

Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Card -80x

Strengths: Super fast and very economical.

Weakness: None noticed.

Great monetary value for a super fast SD card. Athough I purchased this SD for a Casio Exilim EX-Z750, I've used it to transfer data files from the hard drive so I can copy to another PC.
