    The basic models of each company should perform the same.


    But within each of those companies there is a 'hi speed' versions of their memory sticks; which cost more and.....will read/write data much faster. They are meant for fast-acting camera.

    the main differences are: capacity and warranty.

    and construction:

    cheap off-brand companies like A-Data may be bad construction.. go read the product reviews from amazon/newegg..... 'real' companies' SD cards are a whole piece... A-Data are two-pieces glued together.... some people complained that the glue fail and the card fell into two pieces...
