My conclusion: NEVER AGAIN !! TRANSCEND
The image of the company seems clearly better than the reliability of me.
As evidence, the serial of the defective cards:
Map 1: A66942 2040
Map 2: A66942 2055
Map 3: A66942 2023
Map 4: 430 540 0293 (extremely laaangsam)
Update from the autumn of 2014:
After repeated complaints directly from Transcend is referred me thence always to Amazon.
Amazon pointed me after a year back to the manufacturer, was right.
So we went a few times back and forth. After renewed slightly impatient at Transcend complaint I received "techsupport" of which the recommendation to format the card with the "SD Formatter" (Lustig-the SD cards were dead as a doornail, I had written several times). In re Complaints me declared a H. Günter, the cards would have probably damaged from the camera ... (: - D) Klaar ... I soon time off: At some point you confessed to Advance dispatch of all receipts generous a RMA -Reparaturnummer to what I was able to send in the card at its own expense. After two weeks, then came actually 1: 1 exchanged back. Incidentally, exactly the same 16GB models, rather than those which had met the then purchase price in autumn 2014 (ie 32GB) ... would be after the immense damage that have done these things, yes, at least a symbolic been sorry ...
Conclusion: Transcend cards are in my experience really remarkably unreliable, also Transcend has a lousy support. I buy definitely not a Transcend card more!
