Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-I U1 (R 20MB/s | W 10MB/s)

Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-I U1 (R 20MB/s | W 10MB/s) | Straightforward storage for a modest collection

Transcend 8GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-I U1 (R 20MB/s | W 10MB/s) is an 8GB memory card with a stated read speed of 20MB/s and write speed of 10MB/s. It suits photographers who need a straightforward card for a modest amount of image storage, rather than a large-capacity archive. The speed figures give you a useful sense of its pace: the read figure relates to moving files from the card, while the write figure describes saving them to it. With 8GB available, it’s best suited to lighter use or to keeping a smaller set of files on one card. That’s the honest trade-off here: the capacity is modest, but the card’s speed and class markings are clearly stated. If a simple 8GB SDHC card meets your storage needs, this Transcend gives you the key figures up front.

Choosing this card

Think about how much you usually keep on a card before choosing this capacity. Eight gigabytes makes for a limited working space compared with larger cards, so it’s a sensible match when you prefer to carry a smaller collection or have a particular, contained storage need. The listed 20MB/s read and 10MB/s write speeds can help set expectations when transferring files or saving them. They’re useful figures to compare, but they don’t tell you how many photos a card will hold; that depends on the size of each file. In short, this is a clearly specified, lower-capacity option for people who know they don’t need a large store of images in one place.
