Where did you find Transcend 16G for $30?? I found them for $38.

[Robert Semeniuk]

Well thanks guys but I’m outta time.
I’m gonna go and look around and see what I come up with. Some of those flash cards are as much as a drive, so I may go that route too.

Appreciate your input, and I hope I can figure out how to mount those cards if thats the route I choose!

Prices of all Flash media are climbing quickly.
I actually had seen Transcend 16GB Class 6 SDCH bottom out at about $24. Just a little over a week ago I saw them just over $30. Now $38 is more typical.

Transcend 16GB SDHC Prices

NewEgg (very reputable) has them at $35.

[Robert Semeniuk] “Do I have to buy a reader/writer?”
Yes. They’re very inexpensive though. $30 or less. Available at any office supply or consumer electronics store. In some cases the card will come with the reader for the equivalent of about $7 more.

????!!!!
You can find hard drive with enclosure for $35?

Although if you have more than a couple of 16GB cards worth of data a hard drive might be more cost effective (but riskier in transport).

[Robert Semeniuk]

Thanks Craig. When i said the cards can be as much as the drive I meant the other way. On the linked page I saw cards for over $120 and small 250Gb USB drives are the same price.

Thanks for your wealth of knowledge everyone.

I appreciate it and will see what I can come up with.

[Craig Seeman]

Yes larger cards are disproportionately higher prices.

For example
Transcend 16GB is $35
Sandisk 32GB can be close to $150 (back when you could find them in stock).

I get 28 minutes per 8 GB. So 32 GB holds 112 minutes of HQ footage.
