Transcend SDHC 4GB R95/W45MB/s UHS-I U1 CL10

Transcend SDHC 4GB R95/W45MB/s UHS-I U1 CL10 | Clear capacity, stated speeds

A 4GB card gives you a modest, clearly defined amount of storage, with the read and write speeds stated right in the name. The Transcend SDHC is for photographers who want a straightforward SD card and have a use for that capacity and speed rating. Its listed read speed is 95MB/s and its write speed is 45MB/s; it’s also marked UHS-I, U1 and Class 10. Those figures make it easy to compare the card’s stated performance with the needs of your own workflow, without guessing from a vague product name. The honest point to keep in mind is capacity: 4GB is a small amount by current standards, so this card makes most sense when that size suits the amount of storage you want at hand. If you’re choosing on the basis of the printed specifications, this Transcend gives you the key numbers plainly.

Reading the speed figures

Read speed and write speed describe different sides of working with a card. The read figure relates to getting stored data off the card; the write figure relates to saving data onto it. That distinction matters when you’re comparing cards: a faster read number doesn’t tell you the write number, and vice versa. Transcend gives both figures in this product’s name, so you can weigh each one against how you expect to use the card.

The other markings are useful identifiers when sorting or comparing SD cards. UHS-I, U1 and Class 10 are all printed in the product title, alongside the SDHC format and capacity. They make the card’s labelled class information easy to see at a glance. This description sticks to those stated details rather than promising a particular result with a camera or a specific kind of file. For a purchase based on a known capacity and clearly labelled speed figures, the essentials are here; the 4GB size is the deciding detail to consider.
