SD Cards: Any Difference?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

SD Cards: Any Difference?

Post by CronoTriggerfan »

I'm gonna get a couple of 16 gig SDHC cards for my Pandora when it comes, but I'm having trouble deciding on which one to get. It's come down to the Patriot or the A-Data. They're both class-6 cards, so I'm assuming the read/write speed is the same, but other than the price, is there any difference? Normally I'd side with the Patriot due to brand-name recognition, but the A-Data card has gotten rave reviews as well. Do you guys see any technical differences between 'em to justify one over the other?

I think you'll probably be ok with either. The one thing I would check for in the reviews is if there is a certain problem that seems to happen repeatedly, like the card dying after 2 weeks for several people. If there isn't anything like that, I'd get the cheaper one.

I've got two 16GB SDHC cards for my EeePC 901, one Transcend and one A-data card. They're both Class 6 and both seem about the same performance. I got them both from Newegg for around $40. I have heard good things about both, so I would go with either of them. I'm not sure about the Patriot cards though...
