lct Posted January 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just received a used 16 GB sample of the new Toshiba Exceria Pro 260 MB/s SD card. As far as startup times are concerned, it is not faster than the best 95 MB/s cards on both M240 (1.7s) and M8.2 (1.0s) bodies.

Advertisement Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Hi lct, Take a look here New Toshiba 260 MB/s SD card: Not faster on M240. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

pico Posted January 11, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 11, 2014 Just received a used 16 GB sample of the new Toshiba Exceria Pro 260 MB/s SD card. As far as startup times are concerned, it is not faster than the best 95 MB/s cards on both M240 (1.7s) and M8.2 (1.0s) bodies. [...] It seems to be clear that the M240's write speed is limited and not significantly improved with a faster card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted January 11, 2014 Why is it faster on cheap 1GB and 2GB old SD cards then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted January 11, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2014 Why is it faster on cheap 1GB and 2GB old SD cards then? We do not know and are unlikely to find out why unless someone cracks the firmware. Gosh only know what kind of SD programming the Typ 240 has, whether pessimistic or optimistic IO, and so-forth.

wlaidlaw Posted January 11, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 11, 2014 I am now less disappointed that my two “free” Toshiba Exceria cards turned out to be publicity dummies. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougg Posted January 12, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 12, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does the camera check the integrity of the SD card at startup? If so, all else being equal, the larger the card, the more time that would take... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted January 12, 2014 Yes but one of the very fastest is a 64 GB card (Sandisk 95 MB/s)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted January 12, 2014 Share #9 Posted January 12, 2014 Does the camera check the integrity of the SD card at startup? If so, all else being equal, the larger the card, the more time that would take... We do no know, however checking is not necessary with the standard protocol. The card has its own IO management (next block available, etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
