However, there also exist some methods that use different type of base learning. CF is more safe, because this standard was developed with better vision of future, but recommendation is the same. Finally in the fourth section we will give an overview of stacking. It's highly probably, that your device does not even know, that there is cards with such speed (especially with SD, with their SDHC - it must be supported as different standard, and such notice must be in device specifications). When I asked him, what is the right way to buy flash cards, answer was:ĭon't try buying most modern cards with super speed. So, if you are producing hardware with flash card support, you have to make lots of tests with different cards, to insure, that every new "super-super-speed" card works normally. But with CF cards, it is possible too, in some ways. Especially with SD cards, where card interface does not have any kind of direct memory access, and they can tweak internal memory controller. I've asked my friend (he worked as firmware development engineer in big Korean company) once about that things with different cards, and he said:Įven most known flash card vendors sometimes do some "unfair tricks" to make their cards little faster, and that tricks can produce lots of problems with compatibility. I don't know if the E-520 can take advantage of the Extreme IV writing speed, but your computer can take advantage of reading speed.I think the III is fast enough for most people.
The Extreme IV is considerably more expensive.
You just have to make sure you get the card from a legitimate source.higher end cards like the Sandisk Ultra II, Extreme III & IV are heavily counterfeited, especially on eBay (95% are counterfeit). Step 5: Click 'Proceed' to start the hard drive cloning process. If your destination disk is an SSD drive, do remember to Check the option if the target is SSD. That's a decent price, I paid $350 for a 4g Extreme III two summers ago. Step 3: Click 'OK' to confirm if the program asks to erase data on the destination disk. I was looking at this card as a possibility: That's unusual, unless you're comparing a slow SD card to a fast CF card, but it's a moot point anyway since the E-520 can't use SD cards, it uses xD & CF cards (always use CF as your primary card as xD is much slower and should only be used for a backup).ĭo any of you have a favorite brand such as Sandisk or Kingston? Once your clone is complete, EZ Gig IV’s final report will outline the number of sector copied, read errors, write errors. I also see that CF cards are considerably more expensive than Resize partitionsEZ Gig IV gives you three options when creating your clone: automatically resizing partitions to the new drive, keeping the partition sizes the same, and allowing you to manually resize your partitions.
