Kingston 16GB UHS-I 233X SDHC:

Along with the MobileLite G3, Kingston also included one of their new SDHC UHS-I cards. The UHS-I cards are designed to have a higher transfer rate than previous SD cards marketed as "Class 10". Where "Class 10" cards had a minimum transfer rate of 10MB/s, UHS-I supported cards are theoretically capable of 104MB/s.



Here are some published specifications from the official product page on Kingston's site:

This SDHC card looks like most other SDHC cards on the market... The front of the card has the usual branding information that provides minimal information. The biggest thing to know is that it is 16GB and equivalent to 233x with an advertised speed of 60MB/s read and 35MB/s write.



One thing to keep in mind is the "Compatible" section in the specifications. It says it is not compatible with "standard SD-enabled devices/reader". I took this to mean it only worked with specific devices that are capable of using UHS-I. However, if the device will use SDHC, then it'll use this card. It worked without any issues in three digital cameras that are not specifically UHS-I compatible.
