At the time of this writing, it's actually cheaper to buy the memory card (with frustration-free packaging) Transcend 16 GB SDHC SD Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6E [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] and USB reader separately Transcend TS-RDS6W SD/MMC/XD Card Reader (presuming you use Amazon Prime).
I don't get it why A-DATA is so slooow. Great as its "brother" CF 8 GB x133. They abuse label "Class 6". This company has my trustworthy credit. In comparison to A-DATA 8 GB (also "Class 6") Transcend's access time and speed is really ultra. A-DATA, where are you.Oh, I was going to forget: Card reader is great. I tried this card in others readers but Transcend's is always faster (why).
Now it doesn't matter which laptop I have -- I can take the movies straight from the Kodak Zi6 and make a movie.
The combination of a USB card reader and 16 GB SDHC memory card is handy. I use this combo to backup my PC's most important working files and Outlook email PST file since they don't all fit on a rewritable DVD. I also use this to transfer files between computers. This combo was less expensive than the same capacity USB flash drive (at the time I purchased) and more flexible since I can use cheaper SD cards that also work in my digital camera.It would have been nice to include a little protective storage case for at least the SD card, but I'll just use my old CF card cases I don't need anymore.
I simply keep my spare card in the slot to keep it from collecting dust, dirt or lint. I purchased this combo to use with my new Canon FS100 SD Flash Camcorder. Both the memory and the card reader work great.The card reader is very basic, It has no cover for the USB connector or anything to keep dust out of the SD slot. The SD card does feel ever so slightly loose in the reader but this has never had an effect on its ability to read the card. Over all, I am very happy.
