ADATA Turbo Series 16GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model ASDH16GCL10-R

Pros: When it was working, it worked well for both photos and hi def video.

Cons: Card failed after very slight use.

Other Thoughts: I rarely review products. I am doing so now, because when I bought this product, there was not the large string of negative reviews, and had there been, I would never have purchased it. Pay a few dollars more and enjoy a reliable product.

Warranty Request Form

Pros: none

Cons: First card died after 2 days of use, hopefully backuped all pictures before. Got a replacement from vendor, and now it just died on me again while shooting after using it like 3 times, and this time with lot of pictures on it...

I'm angry at the company for selling this junk ( how can you even sell a thing with such a high level of failure??? Do they ever do QC??) & at myself for not having read those comments first, I would have dumped it right away!!!

Other Thoughts: It supposed to have unlimited warranty...?? come ON!

Pros: Capacity, speed.

Cons: It stopped working after 2 weeks, while I was on vacation in Europe. Luckily, I had backed up most pics on my netbooks, but I still lost quite a few. Extremely frustrating!

Other Thoughts: Pay a bit extra and get a quality brand card. I know I learned my lesson.

Pros: fits in the slot

Cons: closer to class 4 than 10 and I need a class 6 or better for HD video.
It can't even keep up with my camera.

Other Thoughts: I'd do a video review, but it would be choppy

Pros: Purported capacity.

Cons: Adata replaced the first two that I purchased because they failed in my Lumix DMC-ZS3. I have used one of the replacements and it locked up the camera while writing. It cannot be formatted either in the camera or in a reader. They are very unreliable.

Other Thoughts: It doesn't seem worth the effort to contact Adata again. Both cards into the trash.

Pros: Works flawlessly in my new ASUS 1201n netbook. Fast performing card at a reasonable price.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: Carved out 4GB for ReadyBoost support; netbook boots Win7 in less than 40 seconds. SiSoft Sandra shows up to 25 MB/s read, 9.5 MB/s write performance; 0.43 ms random access time.

Pros: Very fast card. Writes about 14.5 MB/s.

Cons: It no longer is marked as a turbo card, but definitely meets the class 10 spec. Chincy packaging that does not include a plastic snap-tab case for storage.

Other Thoughts: Because of reliability concerns, I ran the Flash Drive Tester v1.14 for several days with no indication of any problems.

Pros: It was good for 2 months

Cons: A-Data has sent me another defective one

Other Thoughts: Need improvement

Pros: Fast, Cheap, and Reliable. For me at least.

So far this card has been a great performer for me. I bought it for use in my Cannon Rebel XSi, and so far it has worked flawlessly. With 16GB of space, I can use the maximum setting for JPEG and RAW images, and not have to worry about running out of space to store my photo's. Usually my battery dies before I run out of space on this card.

Cons: Not as fast as other cards in the market, but for the price, it cannot be beat. It seams that several other users have had a lot of problems with this card, but I have not.

Other Thoughts: For the price, it is great. Mine has worked without issues, and I tax my cards fairly hard, using them on a regular basis, (In my case 100+ photos daily, plus approx 600+ daily on weekends + transferring to my computer to offload the files). So far not a single error on my card. I may be one of the lucky ones with this card, but I would buy another one.

Pros: None

Cons: Ram controller on two cards subsequently crashed and failed. Made the cards corrupted/unreadable and lost 9 GB of wedding photos.

Other Thoughts: Avoid at all costs. Unless you like paying a hardware recovery company to get your data back
