Has anyone tested their memory card speeds?

With some time over these holidays I tested my cards.

 

I have a Toshiba Exceria 95MB/sec read with 60MB/sec write. I put this inside my laptop which has a builtin SD card reader and I get 76 and 20MB/sec resp. 20MB/sec seems quite a different to 60MB/sec.

 

Any thoughts and how have you results been? Not sure if it is because I have a not so recent laptop but it is hitting 70-80MB/sec read speeds.

 

 

Edit I used apps like HD Tune Pro and SpeedOut.

 

 

Cheers.

I found out that the testing software might not work well. I copied a lage file manually and was able to get much faster transfer speeds.

I think right now I don't own working hardware to perform speed tests; an elderly USB 2 Laptop with HDD feels ill suited. If at all I'd care about card speed perceived via cameras.

I recommend the free H2testW software. It defaults to German, but can easily be switched to English.

 

I'd also try the card using a USB 3.0 external card reader. A laptop's built-in card reader may well use an internal USB 2.0 hub to drive it.

have you ever tried testing new memory to see if the slow readings may be just be the hardware used to test it?
