Question 1

I'm looking for a 32gb SD card, similar to the ScanDisk 32 Extreme. What does the 240 stand for on the WINTEC 16gb? The WINTEC 32gb has '480 min' on it. Is a 240 faster or slower then '480'. I wonder if I could use the WINTEC in place on the scandisk. The price is considerably lower then scandisk. Both are class 10. I need the card with really fast memory.

Dear Jim,
The 240 stands for the number of minutes of HD video the card can store.  The class number, in this case, 10 has to do with the speed that images can be recorded.  I would not hesitate to buy this card for video or still images.  I've used the 16 gb version mostly in my Panasonic consumer grade HD video camcorder and have been very happy with the results.  SanDisk, though a better known name, comes with a higher price and not much difference in performance in my experience.  Try one out and I think you'll agree.  If not, NewEgg has a very good return policy.

Question 2

Can this be used with the Raspberry Pi?

Accepted Answer

Sorry for the late answer but looking at the FAQ for the PI, I believe it should work just fine. Note that a class 10 card is faster than the lower class cards and makes a noticeable difference!

Question 3

Hello,
Can someone please tell me if this product did come with the jewel case that is in one of the pictures on the website? I want the card to have the jewel case with it and I am finding a lot of cards without the case.
Thank you!

Yes, but these consumer items vary wildly from day to day so I can't guarantee it. The one I bought in July came with one.
