Write speed to SD card

[kufelt]

I have seen some comments about slow write speed by X-Pro 1
Well, just measured the times:
Kingston 16GB 100X card was slow indeed: film simulation bracketing took 4.4 sec to write 3 jpegs, 6fps burst of 12 images took 1min48sec
Then I put Sandisk Extreme Pro 16GB card in, first test down to 2.3 sec, second test down do 24 sec....
Best 60 bucks I ever spent 🙂

Been using the 95mbs cards from sandisk works good enough for me.

From what Wiki shows the 100X is 14.6MB/s. I use the Sandisk Extreme Pro U1 95MB/s. I have verifiesd that is is faster than a Class 10 card.

I use Lexar 64GB 600x.

I had two of these, one was faulty - didn't work anymore after I downloaded the jpgs after the first shoot. Lost the raws and the card couldn't be formatted anymore. The second gives when copying large amounts of data to a 2011 Macbook Air. It still works though and has no issues in Windows. Maybe the card readers in older macs aren't 100% compatible.

The speed is good. But next time I'm going for the sandisk extreme pro.

(On Amazon you'll find some customer reviews from people with similar experiences.)

San Disk Extreme Pro at 95mbs - no troubles with speed even prior to FW 2.0.

Geertvn: call lexar. I had similar problem years ago with their card in canon 1Dmk2. They sent me new card with updsted firmware and canon also put a fix in the camera's firmware and i used it for years. I think i still have it, unusable for fuji as it's cf card

I returned the faulty one and got a full refund from amazon. I'm a little worried about the second one and won't use it on the mac again.
