MioSD card class on the 1520

[Fred Wilson2]

I had read somewhere a while ago, though can find no other source now, that the microSD card slot on the 1520 is only a 8GB Transcend (Class 4) device, so it's pretty slow and using one of the higher end, faster cards, would just be a waste of money.
Anyone know for sure ?

Thanks,
Fred

I need to know this too.

People have reported different "read" speeds, using different class SD cards, using sad card speed reading app in the market place. Some very fast, some slow.

I have a PNY 16GB class 10 U1 and my "read" speed is between 10-12mbs.

So imo, it does make a difference.

I've had troubles with an SDXC class 10 but my SDHC class 10 is flawless. Pin legacy compatibility seems to be an issue too.

How did you compute "read" speeds ?

Thanks,

Hi Fred. I've always used this app called SD Card Speed".
