Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like most USB or SD/MicroSD/etc. cards you won't get the full (in this case) 16GB. You get 14.8GB with this product, which is decent enough, and for the price that I got this for, it can be ignored. This is a Class 4 MicroSD card, so it transfers at 4MB/second as a minimum transfer rate. This means that you can fill the whole MicroSD card up in 62 minutes, which is awesome compared to the slower and older Class 2 which takes twice as long.
Right now (that is at the time I bought it), it is the best deal. Class 6 16GB are (were) too expensive, and I can just wait a bit longer for the transfer. Keep in mind, the 4MB/second is the minimum, so in Class 6, 6MB/second is the minimum, that doesn't mean that the Class 6 is going to transfer faster than the Class 4 in practical use, they may just run the same speed. But I don't have a Class 6 card, so I can't say for sure. For a Class 6, the transfer time (assuming they are all running at the minimum) would be cut by 20 minutes.
Moving along, at the moment (October 2010), 32GB MicroSD cards are exorbitantly expensive. You could buy 2 or 3 of this 16GB Class 4 card in the place of a 32GB card. Which is a good thing for you if you want to be able to swap things out and around, or use one for data, and the other for say, a boot disc, instead of putting all your eggs in one basket.
I use mine in my Archos 5 Internet Tablet to store all my movies, that way I can have all my movies removable, and if I had two, I could load movies onto one, while watching movies on the other.
It comes with a USB adapter, which is really handy. You can attach it to a string and onto a keychain for easy transportation. If the card is going in your camera phone, you could pull the pictures out wherever you go. It's blue, so I know what's what if I'm fumbling around in the dark.
Overall: Great product for the price, especially if you need the USB adapter. If time has passed since this review was written, then price would be different of course, but keep in mind some points I said above. Also, you don't need an expensive brand to feel better or safer with things like this. They are all built the same pretty much, just get what works if you want to save yourself some money.
