DS Flash Equipment > Fastests SD cart read speed?

#84178 - Canadaka - Sat May 20, 2006 10:11 pm

What is the fastest speed any of the SD carts can read SD or mini-SD memory at? So either m3 or Supercard, what is there fastest read speed?

I am looking at getting "OCZ 2GB 133X HI-SPEED SD Secure Digital Flash Card" but I doubt the SD card readers for DS can read 133X

anyone? I was thinking that maybe that it doesn't matter because the speend of the GBA slot might be the inhibitor.

But does anyone know that speed?

There are 3 limiting factors i guess:

- speed of the SD card
- speed of the card slot (adapter card, supercard or m3)
- speed of the GBA slot

i guess, there could be differences between different (gba adapter) cards, but the limiting factor imho isn't the sd card.

you could write a benchmark and run it on different adapters/cards
