Re: Card speed
The D is not particularly quick, I bet it doesn't get anywhere near the IO transfer potential of a 60x card. The DS is faster, and I find no significant difference in its write performance when I compare 45x and 60x SD cards. The latter are only very marginally faster, and nothing faster shows any difference at all. Godfrey On Jun 28, 2005, at 7:36 AM, Jens Bladt wrote: A friend sent me this link about memory cards.

RE: Card speed
Thanks Rob and Godfrey. Does *ist D support Write Acceleration (WA) technology ?

Re: Card speed
the measurements on Rob Galbraith's site suggested that the *istD topped out at about 1.8MB/s transfer rate. that's less than 15X. anything faster than 40X is wasted on the *istD.
