Bruno, you make a good argument that comparing write speeds may not necessarily be a valid indicator of whether one card is better or more suitable than another. However, Aus does have a point, and it is worth questioning why SNDK SD cards seem to be slower than others in the comparison. I recall that older comparisons of compact flash cards showed that SanDisk cards also were slower, but more reliable in terms of total number of error free write and read operations. If a high speed card tends to lose some of its sectors faster than a slower card, many users will still choose the slower card. Art
