Excellent! What's your device and operating system?

im using the x51v with WM5

EngrPaul · 05-29-06, 08:20 AM

I've heard Pocket Mechanic doesn't work with WM5 due to "too many white screens", so I haven't tried it. Glad to see it works for you.

EngrPaul,
I just bought the a-data 50x 2gb sd and benchmarked it with pocketmechanic but i cant get the Read: 1.46 (10.0X)...mine is like half of that...i notice that the card is listed as FAT-16 but what cluster size are u running the card on...that could be the difference...my card is formatted with cluster size 64

EngrPaul · 06-14-06, 09:33 PM

doh177a,

It's Fat16 with a cluster size 32K.

doh177a · 06-15-06, 04:28 PM

thanks EngrPaul! although..i cant reformat the card with cluster size 32k...i tried using pocket+, sktools, pocket mechanic and my sandisk mobilemate...i select Fat16 cluster 32k but it just comes out as a fat16 cluster 64k...oh wells

With that much difference in performance, it could be your device (what is it?) or the fact that the card was manufactured differently (although labeled the same).

EngrPaul,
Are the benchmark results the same for the Ritek Ridata 80x 8GB card when used in the X51v compared to your results posted for the X50v?

doh177a · 06-15-06, 09:10 PM

x51v for me

EngrPaul · 06-20-06, 09:20 AM

I don't benchmark on my WM5 device due to reported problems running PM.

I can tell you this, I used to back up my device to the 8GB A-Data CF card. It would take a very long time, at least half of the 44 minutes suggested by the X51v data backup program. Since switching to backing up to the 50X A-Data 2GB SD card, it now takes about 4 minutes. Sweet!

I just learned Pocket Mechanic 2 has been relesed to work with WM5.

I will download it, and try to find some time to benchmark the cards I still have on the X51v.

[EDIT] The card benchmarking module of PM is not ready yet, looks like Anton will include it in next week's update. I just bought 2.03

Any updates? I noticed that PM is now 2.07. Not sure what the changes are.

They just added the module a few days ago. I ran it on a card and did not get equivalent results to version 1.XX Pocket Mechanic. There is a lot more information, but nothing that directly corresponds with the previous results.

You can download 2.07 and try it for 15 days, I think, to see what I mean.

Here some tests made with PM 2.17 and some SD cards.
I'll test same SD cards with SPBBenchmar, but it is no so speedy....
