Hi all,
Recently purchased an exploitable Wii-U and hoping to start tinkering with it soon. I've been looking through the various threads trying to work out which SD Card to buy. There are a lot of mentions of 80 & 95MB/s cards but I've come across this 150MB/s one:
£45 - Lexar 128GB Lexar Professional 1000x SD (SDXC) Card UHS-II U3 - 150MB/s
Does anyone have any experience with this ?
From the Lexar website: "These high-speed cards leverage UHS-II technology (UHS Speed Class 3 (U3)) and provide a read transfer speed up to 1000x (150MB/s) when used with an SD UHS-II reader. For versatility, the cards also work with UHS-I devices at UHS-I speeds, and they’re backwards compatible with older cameras and readers, performing at Class 10 speeds when used with non-UHS devices."
So if the Wii-U is not at all UHS compatible that makes the minimum read rate 10MB/s (class 10). Is the maximum read rate still then 150MB/s or is this determined by the limitations of the SD card reader in the console ? Or perhaps even by the maximum rate of a non-UHS class 10 card (whatever that may be) ?
Any & all discussion invited, wanted to get your thoughts before paying extra for something I can't take full advantage of.
Regards
