Is there REALLY a difference between generic and brand-name SD memory cards?

So I've been doing a little research on the new SDHC format to ensure my new digital camera is compatible, and I'm looking to buy a 16gb SDHC memory card off of eBay. Is there really any difference between the generic brands (AData, Transcent, TopRam, Kingston, etc.) and name brands such as SanDisk?

Not really dude. I mean its like general medication. You can get name brand antibiotics for $60 or you can get the same thing, but with a generic title for $20.





Your getting the same thing, with a warranty, your just not buying it for the name they have built. Safeway soda taste like pepsi cola. You just only pay 50 cents instead of 2.00





enjoy your new 16gb, that thing is MASSIVE

Reply:No, I have both and it´s the same!
Reply:Not that I know of, I'm no expert, but Ive used both and see no difference. Save a few bucks and buy generic!
Reply:Yes. Brand names usually ensure their products are quality and will last for a really long time. Generics just want to chug out a product for someone who does not have the money to afford the higher qualities. Honestly, I would not go cheap with anything that has to do with either a camera or a television. You usually get what you purchase.
Reply:I doubt it, the name brands MIGHT be SLIGHTLY faster, but not a noticeable amount. I'd go for the cheep stuff.
