Title: 16GB SDHC $52 after MIR
Post by: flintstone on June 17, 2008, 02:39:53 PM

Prices for 16GB SDHC flash memory cards has declined recently.  Class 6 16GB SDHC cards made by second-tier manufacturers like Transcend, A-Data, Patriot and PQI now routinely cost less than $70.

Here's a good deal available through 6/30: Zipzoomfly is selling the Patriot 16GB SDHC for $55.  Shipping is $7, so a total of $62. After a $10 mail in rebate, your cost is $52.    (I remember when a 1GB card cost more than $100!)

One caveat:  This Patriot card has a five year warranty, instead of the lifetime warranty offered on other products.  If you want a lifetime warranty, Zipzoomfly and Newegg offer alternatives for about $65 delivered.

And so the Compactflash users won't feel left out: 16GB A-Data, $59 delivered.

This card is slower than the SDHC cards mentioned above, so you'd have to test it before using it to record 24/96 or 24/192.

I've used the PQI 16gb SDHC in the Tascam DR-1 with great results. No hiccups what so ever. Its been 3 years since I used a JB3.  Its great to be back recording a string of shows and not have to swap out cards or transfer music to reuse one.

It's not on the approved list.

Not sure what recorder that you said you got (R-09?) but there are a lot of reports that these do not play nice in the Edirol R-44.  There is a 16Gb Kingston on sale for approximately the same amount.  I use the 16GB PNY class 4 oni the R-44 with no problems.
