  Did some research on these series of cards recently. A fair few people have had problems using them in cameras (like canon dslrs) such as corrupt photos plus I saw a few reports of Patriots dying after 3-4months. Just a fair warning you might want to have a look around the net for customer reviews for these cards.

  Personally I bought the 8gb Micro-SD version from MSY last week & it's fast & snappy so I'm happy. I believe most of the problems are with the SD version though which is what they are selling.

  In any case it's still a good deal but you may want to look around for opinions on these cards.

    Thanks for the heads up, I bought the exact same one a year back and it never had any problem, I'm thinking getting a second one for backup but your comment makes me think twice lol…

      I have 3 of these cards, bought from MSY. Being using them for about a year used them on 3 international holidays and they haven't missed a beat. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
      Good deal still

    Patriot is a pretty good brand, perhaps like corsair. I've got this memory and its been just perfect with my canon. so far.

    wish there was a deal somewhere for a bunch of 64GB SD (not limited to one per customer), that would be nice.

  I have a couple of these, in my girlfriend's 500D SLR and my Go Pro..
  Great performing cards, great value, never had a fault, but I guess even the Sandisk branded cards will have their faults.. Just backup regularly.

  Thanks, will grab another 1 tomorrow

    You can do it today, I sent my local branch an email and they responded back with an order confirmation and pickup number :) Valid only for tomorrow though :)

  I've had one in my S95 for a while now, has been a brilliant card, quick, no faults or anything. So much so that I bought an LX Pro (the updated version) to use in my 550D.

  Will grab one tomorrow, awesome deal :)

  Good card, I have had this one for about one year now. I have 2x16gb now so I won't get another one this time around even though it's very cheap.

      They neither answer nor reply, and their account here does not accept messages - found all this out the last time they did one of these deals and mucked around with WA.

        i dont think this is a valid reason for you to neg the deal.

        I got a prompt reply for the Wireless USB promotion in VIC, so I'm hoping it will be as easy as last time.

        It is when their deals are not deals in WA despite claiming they are and then failing to follow through.

        Went to WA MSY today to buy hdd, saw one customer asking for the 16gb patriot, all sold out, but MSY willing to accept order and pick up at later time at 15 dollars (only if u queue up for like 15-20 min and disappointed that all had been sold out).

  Just ran a H2testw and results are

    Unless I am wrong a class 10 should write at least 10MB per sec, so is this card Slow or your card reader??
    I did the same test on my 16gb "A-ram" brand ,Microsd

    weird, my card reader gives, 13.5mb write only but 19mb read.

    not much of an upgrade from the kingston class 4 (that I also got from msy) I had that does 19r/10w

• 

  ozb-442 on 13/08/2011 - 14:21

  Hmm, My MyMemory Class 10 gives me 17MB/s write and 19MB/s read using the MyMemory SDHC to USB adapter.

  And class 10 means a minimum write of 10MB/s - but most decent class 10's should be getting 15MB/s + Write.

  Mmm…interesting results and I thought my A-Ram card is a relatively cheap brand not as fast as I thought should be for a class10, but yet so far it seems to have better results than the Patriot and Mymemory cards (in both write and read speeds for normal class10 and I was using a cheap $1 sdhc card reader. Does a better branded card reader makes a speed improvements?
  Maybe someone else has a faster read and write speeds, maybe from another brand say Kingston but without payinng a premium price like the sandisk Extreme series cards, just normal price class10 say under $30 which is max I would pay. Shame that cards speed ratings are not uniform.
