is it one per customer?
hope they have stock.
hahahahahahahahahah…..no
I think he's got the giggles
Dunno about the brand… I bought a Lexar 32gb class 10, only just got it today and it struggles to reach my 16gb class 4 kingstons speeds…
Must be something wrong with that Lexar.
Also depends on what format you have on them and what type of files you copied?
off topic but what format should you have on them?
Classes only indicate minimum speed. Very possible that the "Class 10" barely makes it in whilst the "Class 4" shits all over the min..
Class 10 should mean 20MB/s (133X) read and 18MB/s (120X) write and Class 4 is 12MB/s (80X) and 4MB/s (30X).
So it is not possible class 10 slower than class 4, the only possibility is the format of the card and what cluster size selected.
Also did you test with the same set of files? One large file and many small files are very difference.
Class 10 means minimum write speed of 10MB/s, any card does that qualifies to be tagged class 10.
But Class 4 is 4MB/s min so still not possible Class 4 faster than class 10. I agreed difference brand some may do faster and some may slower within the same class.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_
May be between class 4 and 6 but not class 4 and 10.
If they cannot up to that spec they should not call it class 10.
Some class 4 cards perform like class 10 or even better because they were issued before class 6 and 10 were introduced as new classifications of speed.
Since he didn't mention which model of Lexar and Kingston I would just assume they are similar type. Unless his Kingston is a high end class 4 old model.
Lexar and Kingston shouldn't be that much difference.
I can back the class 4 /10 story up.
I have probably the same kingston class 4 card - bought from msy - write speed 11mb/s
so technically its class 11 even though its printed class 4.
some of the new class 10 cards barely make it over the 10mb/s mark
Where did you buy the card from? Any chance it's a fake? Lexar are usually pretty reliable
@senectus, I'm sure your Lexar reaches 10MB/s write speed, if so, then nothing wrong with it..
Patriot is a nice brand - in my experience really reliable. so this is a nice bargain indeed!
The "class" only indicates the minimum guaranteed read and write speeds. so its actual speed may be higher.Agree, I have got Patriot computer RAM and 32GB USB stick from MSY. Nothing wrong with the brand.
I have a couple of Patriot Missiles I bought off Gumtree. They are pretty fast!
Off the topic a bit again. I got the Lexar HDSC card last year. Not used it until days ago and found it was faulty. Ring Lexar Australia contact number
(Lexar claims with 10 year warranty), which is the only way to contact them. No one answered the phone. So be wary guys when you purchase Lexar products.
I bought a 32GB Patriot LX class 10 for my GoPro from Amazon US, worked awesome, until I put it in a crappy card reader and formatted it in there, from then on, that reader was the only thing that would read/write it. Contacted Patriot RMA dept, sent it to Taiwan or somewhere like it (cost about $1.20 to send) they sent a new one back no worries. All up took about a week turn around. +1 Patriot Service Dept!
I'm after 32GB micro SD. MSY never stocks 32GB micro SD
They have but not promotional price.
Bought this brand and class last promo sale for 16GB card, all working well on our Canon 550D.
Did you use it to record full HD movies a lot? I also have a Canon 550D and sometimes I have a buffer problem when recording full HD movies with my class 10 microSD card.
just out of curiosity how did you guys get a SD card to work well in the 550D?
I have a 5DMark2 and would like to know how you guys went about doing it.
I did a little bit of googling and found type 2 CF to SD adapters. is that what you guys are using? If so how good are they?
550D takes SD, not CF. no converter required.
oh wow never realised . Thanks ! :( sigh guess i have to wait for the 32GB CF cards to come down in price which doesnt seem likely
Are you sure you mean the 550D?
As lapsangsuchong says, it takes SD not CF…If you are wanting CF.. B+H have got some really good prices on CF, though shipping is pretty rough (good if you know someone already doing an order that you can chip in on)
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/56209.. or keep an eye on OCAU photography forums, they were looking to try organising a group buy
(http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=994011).. still in the works though
Speeds also depend on your cluster size when formatting.
You'll get higher sustained writes when larger clusters, this may be helpful if you're using the card for video recording.I remember the old 32MB Smartmedia cards, they were like $50 and I use to think data could only be written to them once.
Always wise to read real user reviews and make conclusions. There's no such thing as a free lunch as Newegg reviews prove.
Patriot support wrote: "… these cards have not been tested for Readyboost, therefore we cannot guarantee it will work for this purpose." How long would it take Patriot to test the card for Readyboost, 30 seconds? Me thinks, it's fishy.
Three years ago I paid $50 for a 16 GB card.
BARGAIN !!
Here is a nice website to review the speeds of most sd cards

Result: it goes at around 20mb/sec.
its good enough for me i'm going to the store the next chance i get !I just bought one of these from Ultimo and I've run it through a SiSoft test. Here are the results for those who are interested.

I have two Patriot SD cards (8 and 16 GB) and they are working fine
Have been using 2 of these on my D7000 and they are brilliant.
Good deal, but I'd rather pay a few more bucks for a transcend, been using those for a long time now and it's really reliable and fast.
Too bad these guys don't ship, have to add on price of public transport to price!
or petrol, time and the hassle to wait to be served with sour face bloke.
The sour faces!
FYI, I bought a Patriot 32gb Class 10 card from MSY and it did not work with my Nikon d5100. I contacted Patriot and they told me it was a known issue with all but the latest of batches. Works well in my Pana point'n'shoot, though.
What? :/
reviews http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220…
If this is the same card then people are saying its a bit slow. If you're after a SDHC for HD Video like I am I would avoid this one and get something faster. Transcend, Verbatim, Sandisk all make some faster Class 10 cards, albeit for a higher price tag than here but still change from $50.
If your requirements are less demanding then I'd say get it! Bargain.
Your thoughts may vary, those are just mine.
Damn; I read this as Patriot 32GB "SSD"! :P
Theoretically, its a solid state drive :) No moving parts!
Nice!.
I would have been happy with $32 for 32Gb SD card
but $31 is even better.it's all positive
Picked up two from Fyshwick today. Thanks for the post!
I got 2 as well from Pascoe Vale branch, they still have heaps there.
The performance is not bad, not as good as the SanDisk Extreme, but not far from it. For the price, I'm very happy.
Tested in a Canon 550D, saving in RAW. virtually no difference between the SanDisk and the Patriot for the time taken to clear the buffer.
can you get sustained 1080p recording from the card?
Yep, no problem with 1080p recording.
Picked up two from Malvern today. Thanks for the post!
Just picked up one and ran CrystallDiskMark. The test result is not bad for 31 bucks card.

Picked up one at ultimo. If anyone's wondering, there's plenty left (at least 10 on display when I was last there)
DO DOT BUY IT!
I pickup two today from Ultimo , then format as FAT32.
no testing software has been used and real writing speed as Low as <4MBps.
The worst Class10 I have been seen.
I am using Toshiba and Sandisk as well and they works much much better!
However, the price is not bad. Remember, you get what you pay for.
If you re-partition and format an SD or USB flash card yourself, you may end up with a misaligned partition that causes a huge drop in write speed. I think Windows 7 finally gets this right - not sure about Vista. Thanks again to Microsoft for the stupid "your disk drive has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track" lie that until recently has caused so much trouble for SSD and SD card users. (including, for a while, on a supercomputer that I work on).
Google for
usb flash align partition fat32
if you want more info on how to do it right.Basic problem is that older partitioning tools begin the first partition at "track 0, head 0, sector 63", which is a demented lie to give backward compatibility with old DOS installations, in case you want to dual boot back to DOS 6.0 to rock some Windows 3.11 or Borland Sidekick.
Actually, try formatting it in a camera. The people who make cameras tend to get the formatting right for SDHC cards, strangely enough… :-)
Why you need to format it? All cards should have already foramtted to FAT32 if more than 2GB.
I'm not the one doing the reformatting… owen14d's post mentions reformatting. I was pointing out that you need to be careful in going about it.
Actually, I just remembered, it gets worse - even if you don't repartition an SDHC card, but just reformat, you need to pad out the reserved sectors in the FAT32 headers to make the start of data align properly with the underlying flash layout. The pages linked in my earlier post explain the gory details.
Great link, thanks for posting that!
Got the card for my GoPro… so far so good.. and it is the brand of card they reccomend.
Well that was a waste of time.
Logged into MSY and placed order online on Tuesday 819am for Auburn store pickup, received "Your Order has been received…please wait for confirmation email…".
Nup..nothing since. Too late now.
Thumbs up to MSY, I re-emailed the order placement email to a branc with stock and fairly promptly received an Order number. I also received a reply from my follow-up query to the original branch the order was placed with.
So thumbs up to MSY for responding to emails. And the price was honoured despite getting it after the promo period.
Good price.
