(More customer reviews)I ordered this micro SDHC card for a Nokia E71 phone. I don't have the phone yet, but I decided to try it as an 'SSD' (solid-state disk) on my Windows XP laptop (Lenovo T61).
Suffice it to say, this is the fastest SDHC card I have ever tested! I've seen other cards that are a bit faster, but I was especially not expecting this tiny thumbnail of a micro-SDHC card to be this fast. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this card if looking for an 8GB micro SDHC card.
Test Setup:
-Tested with provided USB adapter (it's so cute and tiny!)
-Tested with Delkin Expresscard/34 memory card reader (rated at 15MB/sec)... although Expresscard slots have a LOT higher theoretical speed
Speed Results:
* HD Tach (3.0.4), 19-20 MB/sec
* results were the same for USB or Expresscard adapter
In short, I am VERY happy this purchase. There are a few slightly cheaper micro SDHC cards, but this blew me away! I can't wait to see how it works in my phone.
I'm also 'testing' it as a secondary-drive in the laptop, running from the Expresscard/34 adapter. I've loaded some basic apps, to help speed up my boot times a bit (no data/results yet). The only 'primary' app I've loaded to the card is Firefox 3.0.1, and it runs decently fast. I think the internal SATA drive is a bit faster... plus the SATA drive has a buffer, so it can cache data, where the microSDHC card doesn't really do that. But since the memory card has ~1.0-1.6 ms access times, it speeds some random-read performance.
