SD Card Benchmarks!

[klowngoblin]

once again Scamdisk sucks... but heres the story, i had a 256MB lexar 32x for my axim which is a nice card but i wanted to go with something a little faster so i can copy movies back and forth. so i went out an bought a sandisk ultra II 512MB SD card. this is hella expensive compared to the 32x lexar. its "supposedly" rated at 60x. this is a total joke.

just for you people unfamiliar with the 1x, 2x, etc, rating

1x = 150KB/s
32x = 4.6875MB/s
60x = 8.7890625MB/s (wow almost 9MB/s!)

here are the benchmarks!

Absolutly Hilarious! do yourself a favor and dont buy SCAMDISK, it sucks for what you pay. i am going to return the 512UltraII and get a cheaper faster lexar card
