RE: Transcend 150x 2GB SD card?
Not that particular card, but have heard good things about the Transcend cards in general. The question that comes to mind is whether you can use all that speed. Certainly not in the camera, but what about with the computer? Aren't you limited by the USB or Firewire connections? Shel [Original Message] From: Igor Roshchin Hi All! Has anybody had experience/read/heard anything about the Transcend 150x 2GB SD card besides its specs? I am considering buying it. ~$145 from NewEgg shipped, including CA taxes seems to be reasonable. Igor
Re: Transcend 150x 2GB SD card?
FireWire can theoretically support up to 400Mbits/second, USB 2.0 can theoretically support up to 480 Mbits/second. A 150x card should be good for about 200Mbits/second. So, the DS can't use all the speed, but it is well within the bandwidth potential of FireWire and USB 2.0.

Re: Transcend 150x 2GB SD card?
Don't forget the reader will be the limiting factor here (except if you use USB 1.1 of course). There are HUGE difference between them and each one is good at something. Some are very good at reading CF but bad writing them and the opposite for SD cards and vice versa, you see what mean. Also whatever the theoretical lmimits, Firewire is about everytime faster the USB2: often a bit, sometimes a lot. But when you'll see the price of a firewire card reader, you'll buy the USB one IMO. -- Thibouille -- *ist-D,Z1,SFXn,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ...

Absolutely. My Belkin 8-in-1 USB 2.0 reader is very fast on SD cards, good on CF cards, very slow on Memory Stick PRO cards. Also whatever the theoretical lmimits, Firewire is about everytime faster the USB2: often a bit, sometimes a lot. But when you'll see the price of a firewire card reader, you'll buy the USB one IMO. Not *always* but most of the time this is true. I only know of one FireWire SD card reader available (don't own it). I have a Lexar FireWire CF card reader too, but it is no faster than the USB 2.0 CF card reader. Godfrey

Speaking of speed, are you guys familiar with the Firewire 800 setup?

Re: Transcend 150x 2GB SD card?
Certainly. Why do you ask? It's not relevant to card readers and such. FW 800 is really best for RAIDs and streaming video, audio capture. There are only a very few devices that can take advantage of the FW800 data transfer capacity.
