Featuring the incredible read and write speeds of up to 285MB/s and 180MB/s respectively, the cards allow professional photographers and videographers to capture flawless RAW images and ultra-high quality 4K, 2K and Full HD videos.

Typical Transcend - high quality, fast, and reasonably priced
It works. It's every bit as fast as my ultra high speed Lexar cards. I've never had issues with Transcend memory cards, SD, compact flash, or micro SD. Biggest benefit is how fast I can offload cards. In a travel photography shoot, I'll bang out 1000 to 2000 raw images in a day. At the read speed of these cards, I can offload them to my laptop and two backup hard drives fast enough to get to bed on time.You really don't need these for the write speed. Much slower, less expensive cards can handle the maximum write speeds of any camera I've used. I imagine that some of the specialized raw file 4K video rigs might change that... but for HD, or 4K with minimal compression, no noticeable difference in write speeds between these (and similar speed cards) and much lower-rated, cheaper cards.BTW - you will ONLY get the stunning read speeds if you have a card reader that accesses both of the sets of contacts. That's how they get close to doubling the read speeds.

Worked Great for 4 Months
And now it doesn't. I use the card in an Olympus OM-D EM-1 II, in the high-speed card slot (slot 1). If this is the only card in the camera, the camera will not initialize. If I have another card in slot 2, the camera initializes fine and ignores the Transcend. the card works fine by itself in slot 2, but then it's not a high-speed memory card. I'll post an update if I can figure out how to get the card to work again...UPDATE 8/9/2018: I formatted the card in my laptop running Windows 10. When I put the card into slot 1 of my camera, I was able to use the camera's menu to format it, which I did, twice. With no card in slot 2, everything seems to be working once again. I will update this review if anything changes. In the mean time, I've added a star to my review, although I am disappointed to experience a problem in the first place.

Great option for X-Pro2/X-T1 cameras
Performance with the Fujifilm X-Pro2 is admirable. I've personally had wonderful luck with Transcend cards. I prefer them over Lexar, even though the Lexar UHS-II x2000 card is marginally faster, your splitting hairs. I've not had great luck with Lexar. I consider SanDisk and Transcend my go to cards for storing Photos. Great choice for cameras with UHS-II slots.

Product was great - Experience was even better
The product came in great time but after receiving it, I found out that I couldn't use the memory to it's full speed potential. This was because the device I was going to use it in couldn't work at this card's top speed.It was returned and $ refunded without any hassle.Thanks for a good experience!

So far, so good
Works well for me. I've used this card in my OM-D E-M1ii and have not had any issues. Wanted a highspeed card and this one was at a reasonable price.

Not TS32GSD2U3
What you get is a much cheaper product, the TS32GSDC700S, with a sticker over the 700S saying that the 700S is now a GSD2U3. The camera will recognize the difference, I'm sure.

Transcend is the industry leader in Class 10 SD cards
These UHS II sd cards a amazing .... I'm an amatuer film maker and I record everything in raw 1920x1080 so I need sd cards with high write speeds because there is nothing worse than you camera shutting off because you are using a cheap card .... In my opinion Transcend currently makes the highest quality cards available

Excellent memory card.
Low buffer time in my GH4. I use this card for video and photos.

Lightning Performance!
To be fair, it is very unlikely that my quite old Nikon D7000 and current PC will ever get the true potential out of this super-fast SDXC card. But in view that I hope to upgrade the camera soon and with only Sandisk and Lexar providing such high spec cards so far, the relative bargain price of this Transcend soon had me ordering one!The Sandisk Extreme Pro read speed is 280mbs and write at 250mbs and is around £100.The Lexar Pro 2000x is 300mbs read but a much slower, unspecified write speed and costs about half that of the Sandisk.But for even less is this Transcend with its almost as good specification and in reality probably very close to the Lexar, certainly in that all important write speed.Of course, the Transcend worked properly immediately and downloading about 50 RAW and jpegs literally took around five seconds.As I said, I won't be testing the speed, I will probably never get anywhere near the card's full potential but when I want to shoot a sporting event, with lots of continuous high speed bursts that won't buffer, then this card will be my automatic choice. It's also nice to try out and use a brand new card of almost unparalleled specification and performance that doesn't cost that much more than other pro cards of this size. It also came in quite a nice little card box with a lifetime warranty and not the usual horrible blister pack.I shall report on reliability and sustainability as I use it more.

Buy for amazing speed, if you have UHS-II gear.
This is the best value ultra high-speed card I could find. Make sure you have a UHS-II enabled device to use it, otherwise you will not get anything like the performance it's capable of. Likewise you'll need a UHS-II card reader too, but you can find a very good budget one here. Kingston Technology MobileLite G4 USB 3.0 Multi Card Reader So long as you've got the gear, this card is great. I've done some speed tests on it, and found that in use, I was able to achieve the claimed speed occasionally, but I think it depends on what sort of hard drive you're writing to, as well as file size. In camera, using burst mode I found my camera cleared it's buffer very quickly, which is why I bought the card.I'm really pleased with it, and feel it's great value for the extreme performance.

Reliable high quality product
I have been using Transcend memory cards for all my pro cameras for more than ten years now. I've never had one fail or let me down, which really is all you need, and I would definitely recommend this brans. Shame they don't make an XQD cars for high end Nikon SLRs, but not many manufacturers do at the moment.

Works great
Seems like a solid card so far. In Blackmagicdesign's Disk Speed Test I get 180MB/sec write speed and 228MB/sec read speed with the Kingston MobileLite G4 card reader connected to a mid-2012 Macbook Air.
