Transcend 2GB Secure Digital Card -150X

Engineering Review

Strengths: The clamshell pack that the card came in actually had instructions on how to open it by cutting off the heat sealed outer rim. I never knew that before!

Weakness: Write ERROR with card after 6 months of USE No rebate or discount on the Transcend 8 in 1 card reader.

Price paid:$125.85 + 3.84 shipping -$10 MFG rebate - $5.00 Pricegrabber review rebate Read speed: 22.5 Mb/sec Write speed: 15 Mb/sec ***UPDATE I have been using this card in my FX8 for six months. I started to occasionally get write errors while taking videos. Not very often, perhaps 1 in 15. I could not find a bad sector on the card. I am going to RMA it back to Transcend. I will be out the...

Good Speed

Strengths: Speed.

Weakness: Quality

Good speed, as I expected, it maxed out my USB 2 reader (turned out like other high speed SD cards). Unlike the packaging, build quality was as bad other cheap cards. I have now resorted to taping the write protect switch :( Also, The plastic case that comes was a bit larger than my taste (larger than most other cards). Probably worth the (low) price though.

A great product

Strengths: Plug and play. Very fast. Great price.

Weakness: None

This SD card performed without problem right out of the box. It is compatible with my desktop, notebook, PPC, and MP3 player. They all see it and read and write to it without problem. They claim it is fast and it is compared to my SanDisk 1gb Ultra II. It is warranted for five years and by then it will be totally obsolete anyway. I am very pleased with the performance and reliability of this card.

Like it should be

Strengths: High speed, 5 year warranty.

Weakness: None

Out of the package this card has worked great. I had a sandisk 33X 1GB chip and it runs circles around it. I use it in my Nikon D50 and it improves the shutter speed like it should be, super quick. On one of the highest resolution settings that I use, I can take 964 6 megapixel pictures. Thats friggin incredible.

Blazingly Fast

Strengths: Extremely fast and durable.

Weakness: Some older SD slot components many not read a 2GB card. I had to order a USB (Transcend TS-RD135S 13-in-1 reader) to use, which is conveniently slim, fast, and portable. No fault of SD card though.

This is one of best SD cards you can buy. I have a Canon SD 450 and considered getting a Sandisk high speed card until I found this one. At 150X speed it's faster than the Sandisk high speed cards and seems very durable. You get the best bang for the buck on this. Transcend is a quality company that has been around for years. I got a great price by using Pricegrabber.com and with 2GB of storage,...

Superb Value

Strengths: High speed, compatibility, 5-year warranty, great support website

Weakness: None

Have been using a card for a while in my new Canon SD550 7.2MP camera. Great speed - ultra fast. Recording pictures, videos - even the highest resolution - works like magic. After purchase found out there is also a 4GB version. I would go with that one next time :-) Recommend to all.

GREAT CARD / GREAT PRICE

Strengths: 2GB and super fast access speed, what else???

Weakness: As far as I've seen, NONE!

Soon as I popped it into my card reader it read okay, I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with the built in reader. It also works on my USB 2.0 4-in-1 reader with so much ease that it's ridiculous. Transcend is a great brand for memory. Props to them!

Transcend 2GB Secure Digital Card

Strengths: Really high speed.

Weakness: Need newer version card reader to read the card and get the high speed. But this is not the fault of this card.

Transcend is a company that keep their word on warrranty. I have a broken 25x 256mb CF which I bought 4 years ago. After getting the RMA and mailed the card back, they send me a new 45x 256mb CF card without any question. This is the main reason that I bought a new SD card with this brand name.

Transcend 2GB 150x

Strengths: Great Value

Weakness: None sofar

Have been using this card with my Canon Powershot S3 IS for about 1 month. Has worked perfectly so far - in fact I'm going to buy another one. You can now get them for < $50. Great product!

Love this SD Card!

Strengths: Super fast! Great customer service @ Transcend!

I bought a Canon SD550 camera right when it came out in September/October 2005, along with it I shopped the net for SD cards to get the fastest out there. I had never heard of Transcend before, but since they had a great price (eCost.com) I decided to try the 2GB. A week later I bought a second one for my sister's Treo. This thing is SUPER FAST and works GREAT! One of the SD cards was having...
