Guest orbitalpunk Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Can anyone tell me if the PDA2K or PDA2 can take advantage of the speed increase when using a Sandisk Ultra II SD card or would it not help at all and I should just buy the regular normal speed SD card. Thanks for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confused Stu Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 OK, I have no scientific basis for this but bear with me for a minute, OK? I've got a C500 and a 512Mb MiniSD card, not an "ultrafast" one or anything special. When I put a large file (say a 200Mb film file) onto the card via the phone it takes several minutes to go through. When I put the same file onto the card using a USB card reader it goes through in seconds. My reasoning therefore is that the phone is the limiting factor rather than the card's speed, so a faster card won't make any difference. I know your PDA is quite a bit more powerful than my C500, but I still think that is going to be the limiting factor rather than the card's access speed. If the card's more expensive, just go for a "normal" one - after all a ferrari is no quicker than a fiesta in a traffic jam! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orbitalpunk Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 yeah, thats what I figured. i just was just hoping imate would have improved upon the data rate since it the latest phone. but i guess there's not point cuase the phone cant even prosccess that much data. i emailed i-mate and they said my photo's might shoot quicker in succession but thats it. Thanks for replying tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraser Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I've copied stuff over WiFi, it's a bit faster than USB but still not near the max SD speed. It's defo not a USB 2.0 connection for the cradle. Loading applications/data might benefit from the faster card. I usually go for the fastest ones anyway, as I've got a card reader as well.

Guest Porkspeare Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I use a 1GB integral 66x SD Card in the XDA IIs, seems a tad better at playing films and music. Other than that, pretty much the same as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt1971 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hi, Have both a Sandisk Ultra II 512MB SD card and an Integral 256MB SD Card. BIG difference in transfers rates using a USB 2.0 reader. Copilot access time for maps is also quicker using the Sandisk card. Upgrading soon to a 1GB Ultra II, as am finding the Integral card too slow. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
