Quite a good deal for a 16gb class 6, use K16GB20 to get 20% off the original price (18.89GPB)
Next cheapest is $31 + postage at ota.com.au
You cam also get a MyMemory 32gb Class 10 that gets 19MB/s Write and 23MB/s read for $36 Delivered (VCHOT5 for 5% off) - http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC/MyMemory/MyMemory-32GB-SD-Car…
Is this guy legit? genuine Kingston and Sandisk?
Is this any good for an android tab as unsure of the class structure for them.
Yes, Mymemory only sells genuine brand name cards. And a class 6 means a minimum of 6MB/s write - This card gets 15MB/s Read/Write according to MyMemory. So this should be fine for your tablet, are you sure is supports SDHC cards and not Micro SDHC cards?
The mymemory brand one 16Gb Class 10 is faster and cheaper
Sigh.. some people. The reason I posted this deal was because it was a very good price for a (key word) KINGSTON, not MyMemory. And the MyMemory is only a few MB/s faster, but it's probably worse in other areas (warranty, reliability, write speed when transferring small files etc.
Do your research before making ignorant comments.
I use a ton of memory cards in my role, and I have a few of the Mymemorys while not in the same league as x433 CF cards or sandisk ultras speed wise, they are fast enough for shooting in RAW.
Personally I don't like kingstons (personal preference)I have had too many go bung.
Oh my bad then. I just saw it as a good deal, for a class 16 15MB/s read/write kingston 16gb sdhc card considering the next cheapest from AU is $40 after delivery.
Why this one is cheaper:
Kingston 16GB Ultimate X SD Card (SDHC) 100X - Class 10 G2
£15.75
The class 6 is actually higher quality than the class 10 believe it or not, and the class 10 only gets 10MB/s read/write and the class 6 gets 15MB/s read/write
Source that the class 10 version is crap - http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-Memory-SD10G2-16GB/dp…
Go down to the reviews section.
That's strange.
Same brand Kingston but class 10 is slower than class 6.
Shouldn't the 'higher' class should be faster? In addition, they both say 100x.
I can't comment on that article.
But Class just refers to a minimum speed (not maximum or expected performance).
Yes, I know. The Class 6 is more expensive, showing that maybe it's higher quality? And the class 6 kingston on mymemory shows the read/write speed as 15MB/s and on the class 10 it shows it as 10MB/s read/write, like stated on many amazon reviews.
EDIT: the Class 6 is also on Amazon, and surprisingly is more expensive than the class 10, best guess is these units are actually more expensive to buy from the supplier.
