Class 4 up to 15MB/s read, but only 9MB/s writeJun 04, 2009
By J. Katz So far I've had no trouble with this card, but I am not happy with the product description which is incorrect. The current description reads:
"15MB/s Read/Write"
This is false. I was a bit disappointed when I saw on the item's package that 15 MB/s only referred to read speeds, with only 9 MB/s write speeds. That's still reasonably fast -- although I've seen other reviews which state that when tested the cards do not reach those max values, but I haven't tested mine. Also, unclear from the description (and even the literature on the SanDisk site), is the fact that this is a Class 4 device. That is important to know for many devices such as HD camcorders, but not clearly indicated.

Great card - but be aware that it is not a class 6 card.Jun 30, 2009

So every digital camera now a days does some sort of video shooting as well as still photography. With a 32gb card, I doubt that you will ever run out of space...however you should be aware that if the card goes bad you will have a lot more to lose.
32gb for less then $199 gives you the ability to store a lot of information and from what I am seeing, people are even using these to install operating systems and booting up from them. This is a techy type process but it is possible none the less and can be done.
Read/Write Speeds - In my tests I inserted the card into a reader into a usb port on my Macbook Pro laptop and used a utility to test the read/write speed. It is the same utility I would use to test a Hard drive. I came up with an average of about 16-17-/mb/s read and about 10mb/s for write.
It is a great card and works perfect....I paid a bit more for it when I bought it but it is GREAT to see Amazon dropping the price as market conditions change.
5/5

32gb cardJun 05, 2009
By Anonymous I recently purchased a high definition video camera that records on memory card only, which is what I prefer. I wanted the biggest card so I went for this one and it works perfectly. This card gets me a little over 4 hours of recording time on the highest quality setting on my camera.

Canon 60D Doesn't buffer for HD VideoNov 08, 2010
By C. Muller
"Weest Coast Waffles"
The product is fine for still photos. I purchased it with the Canon 60D which does HD Video. I bought it because it was indicated as a popular additional purchase for that camera. I should have done more research. The card is not fast enough to capture full HD with the Canon 60D. I see the buffer indications pop up on the camera and it stops filming after 10-30 seconds automatically. For HD video, make sure you have a class 6 type of card. I purchased a Patriot 16G (smaller)Patriot 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card but I may buy another, instead of one 32G. The Patriot card works on full HD for at least 10 minutes (that is all I tested so far). This card is great for stills or lower resolution video, just not full HD.

Great card but not class 6Jun 25, 2009
By Nathan Beauchamp

SanDisk class 4 cards are among the best in terms of reliability. Read/write speeds are about what you'd expect, topping out at about 17mb read and 9.5mb writing, which is pretty solid for a class 4 card, but you can get a class-6 card for about the same price like this one: Transcend 32 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card. The best thing about SanDisk is that in my experience their cards are very reliable. I've been using this card in my Dell Mini and it's been flawless for storing audio and video files. The price on these keeps dropping; it's pretty amazing that in less than a year you can get a 32gb card for what a 16gb card used to cost.
