EngrPaul,

Please make sure you run the tests on battery power, not in the cradle. Benchmarking while the PDA is connected to mains gave me significantly superior and unfortunately also unrealistic results for some cards.

As for the "Whoa", yes, since you have more cards than I have and twice the number of PDAs you are looking at an awful lot of testing. On the other hand:

If you compare the Ridata 2GB results in my last post with those in my first post in this thread (#2) you'll notice I could not reproduce those fantastic write rates. I have no idea why not. Did I simply record the wrong numbers or are the earlier results real? Somehow I think I ought to know...

So I am contemplating to hard-reset my Axe this Saturday, install just Spb Benchmark and PocketMechanic, and retest all cards with both benchmarks. Next, install A05, install just Spb Benchmark and PocketMechanic, and retest all cards. Eek. And to think to repeat the exercise with WM 5 in a couple of months...

This will be interesting from a scientific angle but I am not sure I'll have the patience. Sunday or Monday will tell.
