Good SDHC with one caveat   2010-03-09
By Derek Grimmell (Clinton, IA USA)
Well, this is interesting. I posted my original review, below, and it got a comment the same day from Patriot Memory, inviting me to work with them on the switch issue. I have emailed them and will update buyers on my experience. Two points for potential buyers: - The fact that they saw this review and immediately invited me to an attempted fix suggests that buyers will have very few problems when dealing with Patriot Memory. That's customer service! - If the second card also has the same switch that's slightly easy to switch to the LOCK position when inserting, my plan is to use it in my VIDEO CAMERA, where I only put the card in about once a year, when changing cards. I expect for that sort of use (or in a still camera) the card's speed will make it a good buy indeed. UPDATE: It's now 24 hours since I posted my original review; I have a response from Patriot Memory and am awaiting an RMA # from them. I will continue to update people, but so far I'm pretty happy with the company. AND the card is definitely faster than my old Class 6 card from Transcend. And now, my original review: This works quickly, is low-priced, seems like a good product. However, the switch that moves it from lock to unlock is fairly loose. The problem is that this causes it to lock itself sometimes when you insert it into a slot or reader. You don't find this out until you first try to save something, and I'm rather irked at the wasted time fixing problems. Keep that in mind as you consider which card to buy. I need something bulletproof more than something cheap, so I'll be going back to a SanDisk card.
Super Fast!!!! Super Cheap!!!!   2010-02-16

I bought this card to go with a Nikon D5000 and man I was surprised at the write speed. I can snap 40 photos rapidly and it never slows down. I was shocked to see this same card at a major store for $80 when i bought it here for $55 less. It also has no issues with HD video.

went in my canon rebel xsi and it seems to love it. fastest sd memory i have gotten to date. i am a hardcore gamer/computer builder and patriot has always been a very good memory company. one of the lowest priced sd's in this category too.
Best value 8GB Class 10 SDHC card on the market!!   2010-01-16
By Cheap-n-Easy (Triad, NC)
I bought this one for my Niko D90 and D40 cameras. I also have a 30MB/s Sandisk Extreme III card for these cams. This one beats the Sandisk. It is nearly as fast and more reliable. I constantly have issues with the Sandisk locking up my laptop after or during downloading pictures via the built in SD card reader. Only shutting the laptop down and rebooting it will then get me back working. This has also happened before with other Sandisk class 6 high speed cards and I have never had this issue with any other SDHC card brand I also have used such as the transcend cards. This Patriot SDHC card has never locked my laptop up or cause any other issues and COSTS LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE OF THE SANDISK!!! You can insert and remove it multiple times and it always works.
Reasonably fast but very cheap   2010-01-09
By Gnius (New York, NY USA)
I purchased this card to be used in a DSLR - Nikon D40 and possibly also a D90. I have previously used Transcend cards because they were so inexpensive. The Transcend 8GB Class 6 benchmarked at 16.1/11.2 MB/s read/write. In anticipation of the higher FPS and larger RAW files of the D90, I purchased one of these Class 10 cards, to see whether I could avoid spending 2-3X as much for Sandisk. To my surprise, the Patriot was significantly better than the Transcend, at 20.1/17.4 MB/s read/write. This is rather close to the benchmarked (caveat: not by me) write speed of the 30MB/s Extreme III Sandisk (which was rated at 27MB/s read, but only 17.6MB/s write). For under $30 with free shipping, the Patriot LX SDHC appears to be a great deal.
