I really don't think it matters..............  I don't think this can be true since some seem to have [Solvable] issues with the newer Lexar USB 3.0 reader and some don't. Not that this bothers me since I'm unlikely ever to use USB 3.0. @Simon_Gardner | Since 27 Nov 1987 | Tripod fetishist - moi?

For SD cards - I've used Sandisk and PQi. Never had a problem with any of the PQi 8gb and 16gb class 10 cards, I have several. I got them at Meritline.com when they were on sale. The first one (2gb) I picked up was at a Frys store over 10 years ago for a P&S camera, which was when I first heard of the brand and that old card still works.

They are just as reliable and typically cost a few dollars less than a comparable Sandisk. The Lexar also comes with free data recovery software. I try to handle my cards carefully and have never had a problem with either brand. 1DX MK II, 5D MKIV x2, 24L II, 35L II, 50L, 85LIS, 100LIS Macro, 135L, 16-35LIS, 24-105LIS II, 70-200LIS, 100-400LIS II

I've got a few Transcend cards but I've gone back to Lexar 1000× for the extra speed. It makes a noticeable difference - for me. @Simon_Gardner | Since 27 Nov 1987 | Tripod fetishist - moi?

Can I ask you where the speed is needed? d/l or buffer or something else? I do kids sports and my buffer holds 90 in the slot, I don't get anywhere near that. JPG of course. Anything I'm shooting with raw I'm not shooting continuous. Just curious, thanks. I shoot Canon's

I only use RAW and I'm often shooting burst (of wildlife). The 1000× is making a substantial difference.  @Simon_Gardner | Since 27 Nov 1987 | Tripod fetishist - moi?

Even when shooting raw the card speed has virtually zero impact on how many shots you can get in the buffer. It does affect how quickly the buffer clears, up to a point. For the 7D, for example, the limit seems to be around 50-60 MB/s. Anything over that is wasted. Frank Hollis - Retired mass spectroscopist
