SD Speed Class Ratings

SD Cards and SDHC Cards have Speed Class Ratings defined by the SD Association. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify the following minimum write speeds based on "the best fragmented state where no memory unit is occupied":[8] [wikipedia.org]

• Class 2: 2 MByte/s - 13x
• Class 4: 4 MByte/s - 26x
• Class 6: 6 MByte/s - 40x

SD and SDHC cards will often also advertise a maximum speed (such as 133x or 150x) in addition to this minimum Speed Class Rating. Important differences between the Speed Class and the traditional "X" speed ratings are; 1) the ability of the host device to query the SD card for the speed class and determine the best location to store data that meets the performance required, 2) class speed defines the minimum transfer speed. Even though the class ratings are defined by a governing body, like "X" speed ratings, class speed ratings are quoted by the manufacturers but unverified by any independent evaluation process.
On 21 May 2009, Panasonic [wikipedia.org] announced new "class 10" SDHC cards, claiming that this new class is "part of SD Card Specification Ver.3.0".[9] [wikipedia.org] Toshiba also announced cards based on the new 3.0 spec[10] [wikipedia.org] As of November 2009[update] [wikipedia.org], the SD Association's Web site does not include information on this new class or new specification.

thanks but how can they write 60x on their card when class 4 is 26x

Just received my J&R 16gig card in the mail today that I got for $19.99 from last week's deal. I guess the prices are starting to come down.
