Sandisk Ultra II SD Plus USB 1GB card review

Bought this new SD plus USB card at Low Yat Plaza Still Relatively new in the market so the price is still about twice the price of Normal SD cards Here is a mini review and some rough specs. Running on an iPAQ HX2750 with Intel Xscale Bullverde PXA270 processor @ 624Mhz PlaysDIVX AVI with no noticable lag so far. (Stargate atlantis HDTV) Benchmark with TCPMP SD with USB Average speed 166.86% Benchmark Data Rate 1.5 Mbit/s Original Data Rate 914 kbit/s SD Transcend 80x Average speed 160.88% Benchmark Data Rate 1.6 Mbit/s Original Data Rate 985 kbit/s No Visible difference. Both played video well. Transfer of a 20mb avi file. Sandisk Ultra II SD with USB 1GB SD usb to iPAQ (read) 45 secs (0.44mb/sec) iPAQ to SD usb (write) 62 secs (0.32 mb/sec) Transcend 80x 1GB SD to iPAQ (read) 30 secs (0.67mb/sec) iPAQ to SD (write) 30 secs (0.67mb/sec) Summary: READ: Transcend 80x SD 1GB is 1.5 times faster than Sandisk SD USB 1GB WRITE: Transcend 80x SD 1GB is 2.1 times faster than Sandisk SD USB 1GB BUT i still like the USB capability of the Sandisk!

Found out Later that the Sandisk SD +USB is rated as a 60x card. So the speed rating of a card really means a difference.
