Feedback on this: New Transend 34 Express cards
 

I was wanting to get some feedback on these cards from Transend...as I came across them today...

Looks like that have have built their own version of the Sony SxS card.....see link:

Welcome to Transcend Online Store

that looks pretty sweet, wonder if it works...

could be a bit slow

"Performance: Read up to 18MB/s, Write up to 8MB/s (8GB~32GB)"

Concerned about it Read/Write speed
Performance: Read up to 18MB/s, Write up to 8MB/s (8GB~32GB)

Newegg shows a FileMate ExpressCard
Sequential Access - Read: 115MB/s
Sequential Access - Write: 65MB/s

I wonder if this is any better.

Transcend is mentioning compliance with USB 2.0. This seems to indicate that they use the USB bus in their card. Sony SxS uses the PCIe bus in theirs, giving them much faster speeds.

I just called Transcend and they said these cards are the same as the 16gb that has been proven not to work with the EX series.

Funny....I did a shoot with the Transend 16gb card, and hey, it worked. the client is happy..so "what did they say........"

thanks......

Are you using the 16GB SDHC cards, or the 16GB Expresscards?

You're sure you mean a 16gb Express34 card and not a 16gb SDHC card in a compatible reader? If so, that's the first time I've ever heard of that working. What's your secret?

I use the Transend 16gig SDHC card with the kensington.... as it sounded as all of the transebd cards dont work....

the Transend 16gb SDHC.....and it works, so I dont know what Transend is talking about.

They are talking about the SSD card you provided in your link!

And will these work in my EX3? yes or no....

I thought the discussion was about the pure Express Cards, not the SDHC + Express Card adapter combination.

SDHC cards in the adapters work.

SSD cards do not work.
