I'm living in Malaysia btw Much thanks in advance Kinson. I was just testing the speed with HD_SPEED (www.steelbytes.com), and my original sandisk 64mb stick had a read speed of 270~300kb/sec, and the write speed of 260kb/sec...while the one I just aqquired, has a read speed of 256kb/sec, and write speed of 54kb/sec????? *confused :s ...Umm..even weirder...the card is reporting 933mb of storage space?? Its a 512mb card...I haven't been able to put something bigger into the card to test the actual space, cause it's taking forever, and its in the morning, i'll test it out tomorrow morning. It took 27 mins to transfer 73mb into the card earlier... :s [ This Message was edited by: kinson on 2005-10-21 23:47 ]
