Ths just became available today after being out of stock. This is the cheapest I've found online from a reputable site.

If you want class 2 ( but not recommended)

I was going to order that a couple of weeks ago, but after reading the reviews there are a bunch of people saying the speeds aren't truly class 6.

I need a bigger card but man I dont want to spend that much on any card. Guess when Im tired of deleting stuff to make room for new d/l's Ill buy one.

Samsung is going to offer a 32gb card starting next month apparently. Damn, might wait for that.

I think I'll wait until it shows up unbranded on dealextreme for $2.99

I got this card about two weeks ago and from NewEgg and it so far its been great.

No read or right issues or anything.

I read about that less then class 6 stuff too but decided to try it anyway. When I got it I tested it with HD Tach and as far as the "average" R/W speeds I was getting a consistent 6.7 to 6.9.

I tried some of those other benchmark testers they mentioned and indeed got lower speeds on some stuff and then higher on other.

Makes you wonder exactly what they use to define the class thing.

At any rate, for a 16 gig card at that price even if it not class 6 at every speed I think its still good.

As far as I'm concerned I'm fine with mine.

Thanks for the info. I won't be regretting my purchase then =).

I can also attest to the quality of the card. I bought one of the RiDATA cards when it was $53 or so, right when I ordered my TP2. Its been a great card, and I've not had any issues with data speeds.

Same as above. It works where I had problems with a SanDisk card. Love it! No regrets

it has been great for me for the last couple months, but i never tried any speed tests on it. i believe i read somewhere that once it has been filled with data and then deleted, the speeds were better
