Believe it or not my lexar normal sd benches faster than the lexar 32x sd card I have. Using a Jumpdrive Trio, it's write is faster, but the read is slightly slower. I don't buy into the 32x thing at all.

Here's my proof. Test was conducted using the same jumpdrive trio in the same machine, benching one card after another. I even tried another 32x lexar card and it showed pretty much the same results:

Using SisSoft Sandra 2004's benchmark, both cards are BRAND NEW and EMPTY:

WARNING BIG FILES (I'm running dual monitor and didn't crop out the second display.. sorry:

Of course I may have just gotten a really fast regular card. I didn't have another regular one to benchmark.
