Hardware and Accessories / SD write speeds concern
June 02, 2013, 02:56:00 AM
Hey  guys/gals,

I've been trying to figure out this sd read/write speed thing and it's relation to raw recording.

I've been testing RAW on my Patriot 16GB class 6 sd. It seems to be working great and the bechmark tests have it clocked for about 12MB/s write and 20MB/s read.

I researched sd card speeds and from what I've read, the "extremepro" cards or anything claiming 45MB/s read/write and up, uses UHS technology witch the T2i isn't capable of. I'm wondering if that's correct?

I also recently purchased a Sandisk 16GB class 10 card with expectations of higher write speeds. According to my benchmarks, this card actually writes slower than my class 6 at around 8-9MB/s. I exchanged that one thinking it could be a bad card but sure enough my new card has the same slow speeds.

So what the hell.

I thought the fancier cards claiming 45 and 95MB/s weren't compatible with the T2i but other posters have been showing they're getting much more frames with theses cards...
