Yes, you may be able to find some SDHC cards for cheaper, but it’s unlikely that they have the UHS-I certification that you find with this Transcend memory card. It stands for Ultra High Speed Class 1 and what it means is that the toggle-mode flash technology increases transfer speeds and reduces energy consumption. The net result is a read speed as high as 85MB/s and a write speed as high as 45MB/s, assuming that you’re using it with a UHS-1 compatible camera.

These higher speeds certainly come in handy for high-speed burst photos from DSLRS or higher end video recording at 1080p and beyond. If you’re shooting in 3D 1080p, for example, you need faster speeds and this is even more pronounced if you’re shooting next-generation 4K video. Also included is the built-in Error Correction Code (ECC), which corrects potential transfer errors. You also get RecoveRx software for free, allowing you to recover erased files.

The 16GB Transcend Class 10 UHS-I SDHC is on sale for $14.99, down from the regular price of $44.10. That includes Amazon Frustration-Free packaging too.

Kingston today announced the release of UltimateXX memory cards: The fastest SD cards available to date, and literally in a class of its own. SDHC UHS-I. Though they’re not available on the market until next month, Kingston gloats about being one of the first manufacturers to bring the new cards to the market.

When used with a UHS-I device, the cards are capable of reaching data transfer speeds of up to 60MB per second – almost three times as fast as the current best, class 10. They’re backwards-compatible with classes 4 through 10 and, if you’re into photographing glaciers, will work fine at -25ºC. You know, just in case.

Looking back to another recent article on Mobile Magazine, The DVD is Dead, this may be a large step towards SD cards replacing DVDs to become the new norm for video.

That’s something we’ll be keeping our eyes on.
