Tech specs is blank, how fast is this card, anyone know?

Will it handle media files unlike my .7x sandisk?

It appears to be about 10-12x speed. From their website I saw SMART Modular CompactFlash cards achieve sustained write speeds up to 1.5 Megabytes/second and burst speeds up to 8 Megabytes/second.

I think 1.8 mb/second is a 12x, so I am guessing this is a 10-12x.

it's a 10X, and pitbullmanus, even a 0.7X card can play mp3s:

150 kilobytes per second (KB/s) * 0.7 = 105 kilobytes per second (KB/s)

105 * 8 = 840 k[b]bits[/b]/s (kbps)

840 kbps > 192 kbps (MP3 transfer rate, for example.)
