Transcend offers SD cards in several levels of performance. The 95/60 MB/s UHS-I U3 SD card represents a combination of high speed and high capacity. The card supports 95 MB/s read and 60 MB/s write, and it carries the UHS Speed Class 3 designation by offering at least 30MB/s continuous write performance, an important consideration for 4K HD video cameras. It is currently the second-fastest UHS-I SD card offered by Transcend, the fastest being the 95/85 MB/s U3 card as of December 2014. The 95/60 card is available in 64, 128 and 256 GB capacities. The 64GB version is reviewed here.
The Transcend 95/60 card was subjected to benchmark testing in several USB 3.0 card readers. It provided sequential read speeds up to 96.7MB/s card readers. The write speed was comfortably above the 60MB/s specification in all card readers with a best 67.8 MB/s sequential write speed in the fastest card reader test.
