The first article on the speed of the SD cards I wrote was pretty successful. I get quite a bit of traffic from that, so I think people probably find it useful. The issue with writing follow up articles is that I’m limited to what I have on hand to test with (if you have contacts to acquire test cards let me know). It’s been a few months and I did buy 4 extra SD cards (2 types) making it possible to write another article. In addition to those regular SD cards I scavenged around to find any else that would be testable. I eventually found quite a few micro SD cards, and I also have a single new Compact Flash card that I was curious about performance. The goal in this article, as was in the first, is to see how fast these cards write data. When being used in a camera, the write speed is the most important factor to performance. The testing process: I went over this in the first article, but basically I use a built-in Ubuntu Linux utility to test the speed of the cards in an internal USB ...
