Customer Review: FAST WRITE SPEED--5.5MB/sec
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found this card to write consistently at just about 5.5MB/sec (sometimes faster--6MB/sec), which, coincidentally, is higher than the minimum write speed of Lexar's 32X high speed 1GB SD card. (There are rumors that virtually all of Lexar's "normal speed" SD cards are actually identical to the 32X cards, but without the price markup.) 5.5MB/sec is entirely adequate for my needs and faster than I expected; in fact, it is the fastest SD card I have used so far.
Write speed faster than: Sandisk 256MB, Kingston 128MB, Kingston 256MB, Viking 128MB, Viking 256MB, SimpleTech 512MB. Of these, the second fastest was the SimpleTech at 5.3MB/sec, followed by the Sandisk at 2.7MB/sec. All of the Vikings and Kingstons I have tested write at about 1.5MB/sec.
This is the only 1GB SD card I have tested (update: I have two cards now, both more or less identical).
I have run into no errors after using the cards in multiple devices for four months, and use one frequently to record 640X480 MPEG4 video w/sound in my Kodak still camera. The videos have turned out fine and the longest one I made was about 900MB in size. Filling up the card has not been an issue.
One of the other reviewers commented that the card might have been OEM'ed by Toshiba (which tend to be slow at writing); the card I have doesn't appear to be a Toshiba because it was made in the USA (whereas most of the Toshibas are made in Taiwan or Japan) and the plastic exterior is physically different from those of Toshiba cards I have seen.
Based on my own experience using the card, I would recommend it, but given the other reviewers' experiences and the feedback numbers I may just have gotten lucky.
