SanDisk ImageMate SDDR-289 (UHS-1 USB 3.0)

Reading some old posts:

SanDisk Extreme 30 MB/s SD Card
SanDisk SDDR-199
SD Cards test with SDDR-1999

Now I know what was wrong with 30MB/s SanDisk Extreme SD cards. 30 MB/s was not standard bus speed for SD. So it is seems like only (one?) card reader from SanDisk was supporting that speed. And it was not a good idea to buy 30MB/s cards. Actually theoretical maximum speed for normal and high speed SD cards was 12.5 MB/s and 25MB/s (read as 10MB/s and 20 MB/s in real life). And, by the way, USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) has reallife speed for cardreader/hdd/etc ~ 30 MB/s at maximum.

New SD card standards are UHS-1 with 50 MB/s and 100 MB/s (read as 45 MB/s and 90 MB/s) and UHS-II with 156 MB/s and 312 MB/s.

So now some examples of UHS-1 standard in use:

SanDisk 16 GB UHS-1 45MB/s

USB 2.0 is not enough to get 45+ MB/s that is why UHS-* cardreaders must be USB 3.0 or other modern high speed interface.
