I have briefly tested the following set up - shooting some 1080 30P (HQ) and has worked fine so far. Here are the test numbers they are a bit different from a previous test with the same hardware.
Transcend 16GB SDHC TURBO CLASS 6($50) and Kensington adapter: Sustained data rate: Read: 19.16MB/s Write: 14.59MB/s Random 512K file: Read: 19.19MB/s Write: 2.48MB/s Random 4K file: Read: 4.48MB/s Write: 0.022MB/s |

Maybe it's buried somewhere in this thread but is the speed of the Sandisk extreme III 16 GB the same as the 8 GB?
Also - concering transfer speeds: Transfering the media from my 8 GB Sandisk via the camera and it's USB took 16 minutes. Transfering from my SxS card took about 7 minutes. Tomorrow I'll try using my laptops built in SD-slot. |

Is estimate the new Extreme III to tranfer to your computer at 1.2GB/minute.
Yes, this slower thean SxS... But we knew it would be. But based on this saving, you could buy a handfull of cards and copy them later when you have the time. |

Has anyone tried the SanDisk Ultra II 15MB/s memory with the Kensington expresscard reader on an EX1?

Ah, Good point. How about real part numbers? I just don't want to buy the wrong devices.

Update on Expresscard adapters
In the quest for finding the perfect SDHC to Expresscard Adapter here's more info: Sonnet 21 in 1 Multimedia Reader Part #MMRW-E34: EX1 displays "Unknown Media" with SDHC card in or not SIIG ExpressCard 12 in 1 R/W: EX1 displays "Unknown Media" with SDHC card in or not Cables Unlimited Card Reader ExpressCard 34mm (IOC9750) The packaging read SOHOUSB Multiple card reader to Expresscard: It works. Very similar (the same exact casing...) in design and functionality to the Kensington reader we all now know and love however... This card is a tiny bit faster. I noticed when I was copying data from my card to my RAID, it was maybe 10% faster. I did some benchmarking (using some Mac freeware, Xbench, and here are the differences: Kensington Adapter: Description, Overall Score, Detail Disk Test 2.20 Sequential 20.87 Uncached Write 21.71 13.33 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 23.92 13.53 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 13.16 3.85 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 35.94 18.07 MB/sec [256K blocks] Random 1.16 Uncached Write 0.31 0.03 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 5.95 1.91 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 522.34 3.70 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 95.21 17.67 MB/sec [256K blocks] SOHOUSB: Disk Test 2.24 Sequential 24.61 Uncached Write 21.93 13.47 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 26.61 15.05 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 18.77 5.49 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 38.38 19.29 MB/sec [256K blocks] Random 1.17 Uncached Write 0.31 0.03 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 5.91 1.89 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 497.94 3.53 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 101.12 18.76 MB/sec [256K blocks] Not sure why there are differences or if one is better on the EX1 or not. The SOHO had 15% higher sequential read and write scores than the Kensington, and about the same random write and lower random read scores. Anyway this adapter is the cheapest of the lot at $16. I'm going to order 1 more just for fun. And also just for fun I decided to put the Sandisk Extreme III SDHC card in a Sandisk Micromate SDHC usb reader I have and measure the scores, very similar to the Expresscard adapters: Disk Test 2.15 Sequential 15.61 Uncached Write 13.97 8.58 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 15.05 8.52 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 15.22 4.45 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 19.06 9.58 MB/sec [256K blocks] Random 1.15 Uncached Write 0.31 0.03 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 5.43 1.74 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 455.42 3.23 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 51.02 9.47 MB/sec [256K blocks] And just for reference here are the scores on a 8GB SxS Card (a LOT faster): Disk Test 4.88 Sequential 54.65 Uncached Write 66.40 40.77 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 77.70 43.96 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 25.99 7.61 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 147.30 74.03 MB/sec [256K blocks] Random 2.56 Uncached Write 0.67 0.07 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 13.67 4.37 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 977.79 6.93 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 392.66 72.86 MB/sec [256K blocks] |

Got my Kensington and sandisk 8gb today, it all works ok.
Just want to confirm though that the Maplin SD>Express reader does not work. Paul.

So Keith,
will the Cables Unlimited Card Reader ExpressCard 34mm (IOC9750) allow the EX1 memory compartment to close? Here's a quick test to determine if the Cables Unlimited Reader is a bit faster in the EX1: Set the EX1 to 720 24P S&Q ON at 40 FPS. (Almost half speed) With the Kensington, I had no errors. I tested it for about 5 minutes. It failed when S&Q was set to 45. Check to see if the Cables Unlimited Reader will run at S&Q set to 45. If so, incrementally increase to determine when it fails. Thanks for the update! |
