It came today (damn Dell said it would be the end of the month, lol) Its labelled as a 3.3volt card which is kind of disappointing (2.5 is better, uses less power)

Copying over a 256MB MB file takes 160 seconds, meaning its 1.6MBytes/sec.

Compared to my Sandisk "A10" a 256MB file takes 105 seconds (about 2.4MBytes/sec)

Definitely not a speed-demon, but good for the price.

I did more tests.. I sent over 195MB of mp3 to the Card.. it took in total 1622 seconds to send it.. that mean it actually take 0.12MB/sec

beside.. how can u send over 256MB when the actual diskspace is only 241MB?
