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 ImageMate SDDR-289 (USB 3.0)
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.
Card formated to exFAT. Cardreaders setting “optimized for performance” in Windows 7.

Заметен серьёзный прирост производительности на карточке “extreme 30MB/s” у остальных результат незначительно лучше или такой же.
