SD Ultra card

Can we use the Sandisk 'Ultra' line? If yes, does anybody know if the faster transfer rate of the Ultra card is supported by the XDA?

try using pocketmecanics it got a benchmark tool
and that seem to show that
the xda2 at least use the pretty slow intel xcale internal sd interface
making the xda1 faster when it comes to sd speed
with mechanics you can compare your result with a list of pda's with different sd cards
non of them ever reach ultra speeds
heck they dont even reach the max speed of normal sd cards
if you compare the speed with the same card in a SD card reader
but that dont mean there is not difference in speed
like Sandisk is the slowest thing ever

I'm using a Panasonic 512MB SD Card and it's supposedly faster (and better) than the SanDisk Ultra.
YMMV

Which SD Card to buy?

I want to get myself a new SD Card for my Magician:
I will choose between a standard 1 GB SD Card and the SanDisk UltraII SD 1GB
First of all, does it really make the difference if i take the UltraII? How much faster is it anyway? It would cost me almost 50% more.
Secondly, can the Magician even handle the Ultra? Are cards up to 2GB even supported?
Or should I consider a bigger card?
Currently I've got a 256 Sandisk standard....

In general you probably won't see the speed deference between the basic and ultra on a PDA, because of the speed of the interface.
If you use a card reader (using USB 2 interface) then you will see the speed increase.
Personally, I've just bought a Sandisk 1GB Ultra plus card:

Will have to wait and see how good it is!
Apparently 4GB sd cards are coming soon, which should drop the price of the 1GB cards even further.

If you going with a 2gb card - go with the sandisk ultra... I purchased an A-Data 2gb 150x and it does not work.
SanDisk Ultra are good cards.

512MB SD: Panasonic Highspeed vs Sandisk UltraII...

Hi guys!
I've got 2 512M SD memory card:
- Sandisk UltraII 512MB
- Panasonic High speed 512MB
...and I've got 2 device:
- i-mate Jam (QTEK S100)
- Canon PowerShot SD300 camera
Waht's the difference between the 2 SD?
In your opinion the speed are identical?
Is it better to put the Sandisk into Jam or into the camera?

Hi
I read a long discussion about SD card speeds on this site ages ago.. as i understand it, PPC can only read and write at a FRACTION of a slow/normal SD cards read/write speed, so it really makes no difference.. might as well put the biggest, cheapest card you can in it as anything alse is a waste of a memory card...
My own limited experince with a few sd cards i have (bog standard up to sandisk xtreeme III) shows no difference in speed across the cards.
Lovely caemra you have by the way

Thanks!!
Well... I understand that in ppc I can put the slower one but...
Sandisk Ultra II vs Pnasonic highspeed?
What is the faster? (I'll put the faster in my camera!)

Speeds of mini SD Cards !!!!!

Has anybody benchmarked and mini SD Cards compatible with the wizard.
I am thinking about waiting for the 1GB 66x mini sd card if it helps speed up the wizard in running programs.
any idea of performance 's of mini sd cards?
is the mini sd card slower or faster then the built in memory?
any recomendations of mini sd card for the wizard ?

I doubt the Wizard would have the hardware to take advantage of high speed cards. High speed cards are typically for devices like highend digicams and video cameras that would utilise the extra speed.

is 4gig SD compatible with xda exec?

just wanna ask if a 4gb SD is compatible? what the maximum memory card capacity exec can handle.
thanks..

I put a 4GB card in mine, and it seems to work fine, and memory reading shows it is seeing it as a 4GB card, so seems to be no problem.

thnk.... wat kind of sd card u used?

transcend
for exam I use transcend 4GB 150x speed

mine is Kingston Elite Pro 50x

only problem with some ROM's will be that camera cannot store on a 4gb SD card unless only 1/2 of it is free. that is used 2gb then camera app is ok!
