Silicon Power MicroSDHC Card Class 10 16GB w/ Adapter

Silicon Power MicroSDHC Card Class 10 16GB w/ Adapter | Compact storage for video and photos

Class 10 performance and a 16GB capacity make the Silicon Power MicroSDHC Card a straightforward way to carry photos and video on a microSDHC device. It’s a good fit for users who need a small card for video recording, sequential photo shooting or moving files through a card reader. The included SD adapter makes the microSDHC card usable in devices with a standard SD card slot, such as a laptop or reader. For video and bursts of stills, its Class 10 rating is the key detail; the card also supports the SDHC 2.0 standard. Silicon Power specifies read speeds of up to 40MB/s, useful when copying files to a computer, though actual transfer speed depends on the reader and device. At 16GB, it keeps the capacity modest rather than aiming to store a large archive. That makes it a simple option for a smaller collection of clips and images.

Why it is useful

• Class 10 rating: This speed class is suited to video recording and sequential still photography, as described for the card. It gives you a clear speed-class reference when choosing storage for those tasks.
• Read speeds up to 40MB/s: The stated maximum read speed is useful when transferring captured files to a computer. It’s a rated maximum, rather than a promise of the same speed in every device.
• SD adapter included: The adapter allows the microSDHC card to fit a standard SD card slot. That’s handy when a laptop or card reader has an SD slot rather than a microSD slot.
• SDHC 2.0 support: The card follows the SDHC 2.0 standard. That specification is relevant for supported uses such as sequential photo capture and video recording.
• Built-in ECC error correction: ECC detects and corrects transfer errors, adding an error-checking step as data is moved. It’s a useful safeguard for file transfers.
• Small, lightweight format: The card measures 15 × 11 × 1mm and weighs 0.6g. It takes up very little space when carried with its adapter.

Good to know

The card supports CPRM, a system for content protection. Silicon Power also describes free SP Widget software for backing up files, applying AES 256-bit encryption and storing files in the cloud. Those software functions are separate from the card itself; the card’s listed contents are the memory card and its SD adapter. The card is also listed as RoHS-compliant.
