moin, moin,

"Description: Ultra Performance 80X Secure Digital cardsis the best choice
for your digital cameras and other handheld device. Different from other
manufacture, Transcend insists on using only original SLC
(Single-Level-Cell) NAND Flash chips that have a higher write speed, lower
power consumption, and superior durability compared with Secure Digital
cards made with MLC (Multi-Level-Cell) chips."

Is that marketing drivel or does it really make a difference? I haven't
noticed quick with the transcend card for my phone, but that's probably
more due to the phone and Verizon sucking.

Also, what does 80X(CD,CD-R) translate to in throughput?

Can MMC and SD cards be used somewhat interchangably and you just lose the
encryption option of SD?

ciao,
