With 64 GB of storage space, this Transcend Ultimate SDXC Class 10 memory card is tailor-made for compatible HD camcorders and digital cameras. Its high capacity means it can store long films rather than just clips, or loads of high-definition photos. All that sounds great—but what about its data transfer speeds?
This memory card has a write speed of 22.1 MBps, which is good, but we've seen other cards reach up to 38 MBps thanks to the new UHS-1 standard. It'll therefore take around 3 minutes to unload 4 GB of photos. The write speeds are among the fastest we've seen at 21.5 MBps, which means you can load it with 4 GB of files in just over 3 minutes.
