RiDATA 4GB Pro 150X write speed slow

L.P. · 02-05-07, 12:20 PM

I have this card and have found the write speed slow, about half of my AData Turbo 4GB 150X.

I am considering reformatting it. Are there any settings that might help?

I am really surprised by the slowness of this card. It has gotten good reviews both here and other sites. I need lots of

Thank you for your time and attention!

This card is very fast when transfering small quanities of files, but large files.
However, if you have lots of files, it's slow, even if they are small.

Anything will be slow if you are transfering through your Ax.
Card readers are much much faster.

Sorry I forgot to add: I was using one of the fastest readers in the market. Not all card readers are equal....

Either way it is still slower than the Adata and slower on Benchmarking Test.

On the Axim it'll be very slow compared to card readers :) I was able to dump 800mb in 2-3 minutes....on the reader.

I agree it is faster in the card reader. The question is why is it so much slower than my other 4GB card and how can I speed up it's write speed.:rolling:

I feel that this card is cheap, not great quality. I don't trust my data in it. I'd get the ATP cards or Sandisk Ultras to feel safe :)
