Hi All,
I have the TyTn and want to buy a new 2 Gb card but I was wondering if anyone has a utility to measure the read and write speed of the card. I used to have an IQUE 3600 PDA and one developer had a speed measurement software he developed for SD cards which was very useful. I'd like to find out how fast my current card (Tosh) is before buying another. I want a fast card to run Tom Tom.

just use pocket mechanic it will tell you everything even the shoe size of the guy that put the micro sd into its box.

Wow, fantastic!!! What a powerful app for measuring my shoe size.
whoops, I posted in the wrong thread.

Hi,
does the Wizard have a maximum transfer speed for access to the miniSD card slot?
I'm looking for a miniSD card, and thinking of whether the Wizard can take advantage of the very high speeds of the latest cards. Is it worth giving the extra money to get a very fast card or not?
Is 150x about the fastest available?
AFAIK 80x is the fastest available miniSD
Im using it (1GB 80x)
Maybe we can do some benchmarks? any good software to test memory?
ATP claims 150x speed

Don't bother spending extra money for a high speed card. Even going back to the earliest days of PPC's, it's all about the PPC's I/O to the media card. The only real advantages of a high speed card is when using with a digital camera or when using the card in a card reader.
I have a Sandisk 1gb card that runs just fine in my K-JAM. On my 2750, I have a 1GB Lexar sd and 1gb Lexar CF.

Thanks! That's an answer for one of my questions. Could you please try to help me a little bit more?
Sorry to ask that way...

You won't be able to use the full potential of fast cards. Please read http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921 for my article on all this stuff.
I'm glad I found this thread. I've installed some software onto the miniSD card and I noticed they load slower. The worsest problem is now the soft keyboard selection menu takes a full 7 seconds to pull up. I was thinking about buying a faster miniSD to solve this problem, looks like I'll just have to live with it.
i'm running this app's card benchmark and the results are a bit dissapointing for me. yesterday i bought one kingston 1gb elite pro (50X) and the tests shown only 4,6X for read (0.68 mb/s) and 1,2X for write (0.18 mb/s)... why?
probably your results are mainly affected (limited) by your devices sdio-slot? i guess the sdio-controller is a lot slower than the cards abilities. have you ever tried to benchmark the card in a card reader connected to your desktop pc? the results there should look much friendlyer to you ;-)
regards
peter
ps: i have sdcard of 2 + 4 gb rated 150x and the results in my htc universal look similar to your results, so don't worry it is normal.
could you tell me a program for pc to run benchmark? actually i do not have a card reader, but a HP photosmart 7260 printer which has card reader on.
hi, I have a SD 1gb 133x. if I make the test of speed with pocket mechanic me from at the most 6x. While on the PC me from 130x of speed. is it normal?
you excuse my English, I am using a translator

It is normal. See my related article at http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921
so to finalise for the universal there is no point in getting any high speed card if its only to be used in the universal for whatever use?
ie no difference in tomtom gps, video's etc etc.
just be nice to get a defo answer on this forum for whe people search.
so yes or no? any diference beween lets say standard un tweaked/formated 150x 4gb card and 20x card?

Not so big a difference as in a card reader / better digicam. However, there MAY be differences in file creation speed.
I wanted to play with fpsece, emulator playstation, but with the speed of reading of the qtek9000 the games go jerky
i was just thinking if i could get sd card pinouts and then match them with sata drive pinouts basically data in data out and power is required but like everybody i won't want to burn my lovely handset , someone must be thinking of it right now.
geeze how much storage do you want?
what you going to do with 4 gigs of storage, 2 gig SD card is bad enough for stable partitions
If iPod users can find something to do with all that space, so can PDA users. >_>
(In any case, OP, I think there's nobody here that can answer your question, since tech minded people don't come around here often. Try posting in the Upgrading/Modifying/Unlocking forums. You *MIGHT* get more help there.)

well if you own an ipod i guess i was correct about you then.
you fly that flag loud and proud !
I don't own an 'Pod. However, I have replaced a battery on someone else's. Once.
Guy I did it for tells me 20gig isn't enough for his collection. <_<
In any case, I don't have any trouble with 2gig - I can barely fill up half with my stuff as it is (Unless I'm using the PS emulator, but that's another story).
Oh, and keep trollin', soldier.
i have prob with storage, too
2bg are not enough for sure
especially when you have such a games or programs like:
syberia ~200mb
tomtom -''-
and when you do some job which needs to save your important data (such as presentations, ebooks, documents, ...)
and when your life is not just business life but fun and entertainment life also, and you need some free sd space for music (at least 0,5gb).
putting HDD in some future models of htc is not so good move (check Samsung's i300 model fiasco). battery life: 3-4h, noise, weight:more then 150g smart and probably more then 250gr pocketpc), short life, no repairs, no replaements/warranty,...
1. question: what is the maximum sd card size for the Magician.
I have 1gb Apacer card. works well.
2. question: Any realtions sd card size - battery life??
yeah
,
there is 8gb sd card now in market and 16 gb is soon coming or may be out and some guy put two 4gb nano memories together to make it 8 gb (ipod hacking), there could be some logic to put chips together if only i could get some notes on sd card inner's
I'm using a 4Gb SD card which so far is working just fine.
I'm planning to get a microSDhc card for my Jade (HTC Touch 3g).
Can you guys please advice will there is any difference in performance, response time and speed between 4GB microSDhc and 8GB microSDhc.
For the timebeing, I'm using mere 1GB micro SD card and its works great.
I know that both works with Jade, but how about the response time? I'm surely looking for bigger space, but not at the cost of speed and response time.
Thanks!!
HTC (officially) supports only 4Gb SD. Many I know have used 8Gb without problem. Personally I'm using just 4Gb without problem. Response time - blink of an eye, I do not have an empirical engineering measure though. Most of my programs / applications are on SD and the response time are OK.. so far, over a year now, never fail.
I use this one without any problems:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B001D0ROGO/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
I have no exact data for response etc. but it is very fast.
I am using an 8gb, I can't compare it to a 4gb since I don't have one.

Thanks Azahidi for the info!!
Even i'm planning to have my most of the programs/appilcations on the storage card, so was wondering about the response time.
On HTC site, they said they have tested 8GB, but didn't mention about the performance.
http://www.htc.com/in/faqs.aspx?p_id=174&cat=270&id=85794&f=t
But, the salesman at the store said 8GB will make ur device slow, which I didn't want for more space.
So, was looking for the expert opinions on this.

Have you guys installed programs/applications on the Storage card?
And is the reponse of those program on SD are marginally slower as compare to similiar application on device memory?
Even I'm looking to bigger space, it helps a lazy person like me to clean the storage after long long time.
How is the access time for data like music/video/documents from SD and how about the stability?
Thanks in advance!!

I installed nearly all programs on my card (see above) and I have no delay or other problems with it. Of course I do never remove it.
Speed for Cards...
most of the new Cards u can use have different "class" of speed, it give class
Class 2: 2 MByte/s - 13x
Class 4: 4 MByte/s - 26x
Class 6: 6 MByte/s - 40x
i use a Toshiba 8GB with Class4 (i pay 8,-EUR at eBay) and this works fine.
The most of the Programms I use, I installed on the Card except Phoneweaver or eqal Software that use direct access to the Sim.
I use for Videos (MusicClips, TV-Series with Subtitle in srt-format and Documentations) the CoreMobileVideoPlayer and the Videos works fluently perfect.
I have a second Device, a HTC Diamond with internal 4GB and to this it is no different with the speed (memory access).
I hope, this helps a little bit

Thank you so much!!
It is a great information you shared and really helpfull for selecting my Storage card.
well i use an 8GB micro sd card and it works like a charm
besides i heard that our jade can hold up to 16 GB's (thats what the folks at htc store told me) not quite sure about it but i guess the more storage u ride the more battery consumption u get
so i guess its fairly enough to stick with 8Gigs.
HTC touch 3G ( jade 110)
Hi guys. (I own htc touch 3g- jada 110) I am using also 8gb SDHC (kingston) class 4 and I recomend this one. Its fast, cheap (ebay- just be aware of some cheap replicas). I have also tried this card on my girlfriend`s htc tytn 2 (kaiser) and worked as well. So highly recomend KINGSTON cards.
I have both the 4gb and 8 gb Sandisk micro sd card. I can't tell the difference in speed and am very happy with the 8 gb card! Am thinking of upgrading to the 16 gb for my movies though!

Let us know your feedback after using 16GB, if things are stable there..... then we might think of switching to 16GB for the obvious reasons...
