has anyone been able to find the Sandisk Micro SDHC card specs/speeds?

[mikeeey]

I just wanted to know the speeds of the SDHC cards, i wasnt sure how they compared to SD ultra II cards. I just havnt been able to find the specs anywhere so far.

When I bought my 4 GB sandisk SDHC I asked the salesman about speeds. He searched many places, even at the manufacturers homepage, without finding any specs. He sent a mail to sandisk, but I havent heard from him yet.
I'll tell you the results when I hear from him...

On the card itself, there should be a number in a circle. This number is the rated write speed of the card, in MB/second. This PDF (http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/retail/SDHC1.pdf) from SanDisk should provide more detail.

All i know is that they are class 4 cards, and that they are much faster than regular sd, micro sd cards, but not as fast as USB 2.0 or firewire.

After reading the pdf, it appears that there is more than one class. My 6gb card says that it is a class 4, so it would transfer at 4mb/s.

hmm, well as long as the kaiser can take full advantage of that 4mb/s then that's pretty good.

i would logically think that it should be...i mean, if it can accept SDHC, then it will prob. be able to utilize it.

The 6GB and soon to be out 8GB cards are all currently "Class 4" which is 4mb/s; ScanDisc is the current leader in bringing Micro SD card technology to market and to this point there have been no indications there is a "Class 8" or higher in the immediate future.

4GB cards typically will be either "Class 4" 4mb/s or "Class 2" 2mb/s. If you see a really cheap 4GB card there is a good chance it is a Class 2, so be careful.

many ppl are mistakening about what the classes refer to, there are 3 class 2, 4 and 6, this means the minimum write speed the micro sd can achieve, in other words, the class 4 and class 6 may not even be faster than a class 2.

I have te following and did a simple test using the hd tach.


toshiba 4GB class 4

sandisk 4GB class 2

sandisk 6GB class 4

all cards offer a write speed at just over 4MB/S

As for the read speed, both sandisk is about 11MB/s, whiles the toshiba is at 20MB/s

on the market apart from these, there are others, like kingston and eagletec (toshiba OEM), and may be some others.

If they are ScanDisc then yes they are class 4.

The specs on the Best Buy website say they are class 2.
