16GB Micro SD Card with Adapter – Transcend | Class 10 | UHS-1

In this digital age, our devices are all hungry for memory space. Is your phone chirping because you’ve overloaded it with photos, or have you lost another SD card to the 3D gremlins? We can’t have too many spare memory cards as Makers. But when it comes to all the different types and rating systems available to us, things might get complicated. Memory cards like these Transcend 16GB Micro SD Cards are handy little banks of information with a modern speed class and UHS rating. Read on if you are interested in finding out what these details mean to you as an end user.

This Transcend 16GB Micro SD Card arrives with an adapter and features a full class 10 standard speed rating, which means it has been stress tested to operate at a minimum of 10MB/s sequential read and write speed. These speeds are important for video recording and other media that typically record in sequential blocks of memory. However, because software applications tend to read and write from random blocks of the memory, this standard class rating doesn’t affect application speed too much, but it does affect the speed at which data is written and read when copying files to and from the card.

The next cool feature of these cards is that they are UHS-1 rating, which is the next generation of speed classification. This rating essentially goes above and beyond what the Class 1 to 10 rating can achieve, and UHS-1 is equivalent to the older style Class 10. However, UHS also extends to higher ratings like UHS-3, which offers minimum sequential read/write speeds of 30MB/s minimum, and we suspect that it’s only a matter of time before the UHS classification makes the older Class 1 to 10 ratings obsolete.

High speed data transfer with a strong priority on high capacity as well makes the Transcend 16GB Micro SD Card ideal for multimedia recording and playback, but also simply for storing relatively large files, which of course makes it a great choice for 3D Printing. Since print files sometimes utilise high resolution, you will need high speed capabilities for faster transferring of files, allowing your 3D Printer to read and use the data at a quicker rate. While the data transfer speeds are not usually important for printing, it can make quite a difference for complex prints with very large resolutions.

A last cherry on top is the Transcend Micro SD Card’s protection features like shock, static and water resistance. You can enjoy your boost in memory without fear… as long as no 3D gremlins steal it again.

Typical Applications for these Transcend 16GB Micro SD Cards:

If you’re looking for a high quality, reliable MicroSD card that not only handles sequential read/write speeds like a boss, but also random read/write speeds like a pro, then this Transcend 16GB Micro SDCard is the ideal tool for the job. And with its included Full SD card adapter you can benefit even more from what this card has to offer. This enables you to use it in your computer, mobile device, gaming consoles and even 3D Printers, with some of the highest speed ratings on the market – for all kinds of applications and use cases.
