SD card benchmarking

[Guest Crispy]

I was searhing for some SD card reviews when I found this threat about SD card benchmarking:

As many others I thought that a SD card ... well, thats just a SD card! But it looks like I was mistaken ... Looking at the scores on the above link some of Lexar & Kingston are almost 3 times as fast as pretec, dana, and Sandisk. Just to name a few of the benchmarks posted ...

They are benchmarked using this piece of software here, which, before you ask, is not for smartphone! The test are, as far as I can see, run on a Zire71.

Anyone know there a similar benchmarking software for smartphones?

I agree about Lexar being miles faster than SanDisk :)

Heres something I posted recently:-

BTW, I recently bought a Lexar 512mb SD card, and it's FANTASTIC ;)  

Using a high speed USB2 card reader it is Sooooo fast :!:  

Testing with a  26mb album of WMA's:-

SanDisk - Copy to PC = 20seconds

Lexar - Copy to PC = 6 seconds :!:  

San Disk - PC to Card = 60seconds

Lexar - PC to Card = 7 seconds :!:  

I love it!

Found this at the Simpletech website here:

256MB and 512MB cards have a Fast Sustained Write Speed: 10MB/sec  

256MB and 512MB cards have a Fast Sustained Read Speed : 10MB/sec

This card should be able to handle your album in 2.7 sec .. :shock: :)
