Dear John,

Thanks for supporting A-DATA product.

The R/W speed of our Micro SD is about 7MB/2MB per second. And,
actually,
Super Micro SD is almost the same as our regular Micro SD cards.

Regards,

Hmm, pretty slow R/W if you ask me, compared to this other 2GB card im looking at that has 8.8MB/S (MAX) on read speed and 5.0MB/S (MAX) on write.

Which card are you looking at? 2GB, 8.8/5.0 r/w. Wow, that's impressive.

I just purchased a 2GB A-DATA super microSD card.. Going to do some real-world speed tests using a multi card reader.


EDIT:

Here goes...

FAT16 > FAT32 speed-wise.

After a couple formats here are the results:

4.1-4.2 MB/s Write speed

8.1-8.2 MB/s Read speed

So you could really say 8MBs/4MBs

*Transfer of a 1GB file.

It seems to pick up speed during the end of the transfer.

EDIT2:

The program HDTACH rated it at 9.2MB/s [READ speed]

ps - this card was made in taiwan.

Edit: see above

Also, I dont have a slot 1 device (yet), so I cant test that ATM.

bump..


and also, would be interesting to see the results others get from hdtach...

ask them what the random access time for the card is considering that's the most important factor in rom performance.
