Thanks for the heads-up on this. I have a couple of Transcend 8GB cards,
but they don't seem to be affected by this problem.
Still, it's good to know & I'll keep an eye on the situation in case it
does show up on the 8GB cards.

Hi All:
It turns out that Transcend had a flash memory card recall in 2011.

or http://goo.gl/Or017
A manufacturing process issue was blamed for a possible lockup during
a transfer.
I didn't see this showing up here, on PDML, while I know that some
PDMLers use Transcend cards.
My apologies if it was mentioned, but I missed it.
What is interesting is that they say:
"read/write blocking if the file size is over 4GB and the information on
the card may not transfer."
I don't know, but it probably should not affect anything related to
typical photo cameras, as they use FAT format which limits
the file size at about 4GB. (Unless the issue is related to just about
4GB.)
