I just bought a 32gb sdcard, and the estimate to write an 8gb file from my computer is 40 minutes -- and it has aborted each time. The card is a Sandisk, with no class identification (1 I guess!). I'm using SD Tools to test my sdcard, and I get 9.2MB/s write and 29.4MB/s read speeds. I guess the tool isn't very accurate, because at 9.2MB/s, 8gb will go by in 14 & 1/2 minutes -- which isn't happening.
Anyway, I only paid $15 for the card, and if it takes an hour to copy a movie over it's not worth two bucks. I'd like to hear how fast peoples' cards are writing. Does anyone know a good speed test tool, or can you do a real-world copy test if you have a fast card? Let me know your card brand and class please. I figure that 40min estimate for my file copy was pretty accurate. That means my cheapo card only writes at 3.4MB/s -- which sounds more reasonable if this is really class 1 I think I need to replace this junk.
