Conclusion
The Toshiba Exceria Pro is a really good product. Toshiba is definitely targeting the most demanding users by offering the top performance in its class. We simply can not argue with that!
The performance numbers in our tests were slightly lower than we expected though. Most likely a better USB 3.0 controller is required to achieve higher bandwidth or perhaps there are some issues with the current drivers. It is hard to say what configuration will be optimal to achieve the maximum speeds. We were checking performance on a laptop and desktop computers with various results (+/- 20-30MB/s difference).
The Toshiba Exceria Pro 32GB is availabe in many online stores for about $180 USD. It is certainly not a low price, however the best products are never cheap. Currently, it is hard to find any competition in SDHC cards offering such high speeds.
As I already mentioned, the Toshiba Exceria Pro cards are on stock in many online stores so there are readily available.
Finally, I will add that Toshiba is offering a five year warranty for their Exceria cards. That is a pretty long period for a SDHC card, which hints at the faith and quality of this product.
Pros:
- Great performance
- Compatible with older standards
- 5 year warranty
Cons:
- High price
Final words:
There is probably no faster SDHC card on the market than the Toshiba Exceria Pro so I can clearly recommend it to most demanding photographers who need the fastest available storage for blistering fast shots. I can also recommend it to all other users but the high price may sway them to pick more average cards for their needs.
The Toshiba Exceria Pro 32GB clearly deserved our FunkyKit Editor’s Choice Award.
