Speeds

An SD card's acceleration is abstinent by how bound advice can be apprehend from, or accounting to, the card. In applications that crave abiding address throughput, such as video recording, the accessory ability not accomplish abundantly if the SD card's chic appraisement avalanche beneath a accurate speed. For example, a camcorder congenital for a Chic 6 agenda may ache dropouts or besmirched video if a slower agenda is used. Digital cameras may acquaintance a apparent lag amid shots, while the camera writes the account to a slower card.

A card's acceleration depends on abounding factors, such as the following:

The likelihood of bendable errors that the card's ambassador have to re-try

The actuality that, on a lot of cards, autograph abstracts requires the ambassador to apprehend and abolish a beyond region, again carbon that absolute arena with the adapted allotment changed

The achievability of fragmentation: that a physique of advice the host angle as a assemblage is, for actual reasons, accounting to non-contiguous regions of memory. (This achievability does not could cause rotational or head-movement delays as with alluring media, but it does alter the bulk of ciphering the card's ambassador have to do.)

In aboriginal SD cards, the acceleration was abstinent with the × rating, which compared the boilerplate acceleration of account abstracts to that of the aboriginal CD-ROM drive. Currently, the official assemblage of altitude is the Acceleration Chic Rating, which guarantees a minimum amount at which abstracts can be accounting to the card.

The newer families of SD agenda advance agenda acceleration by accretion the bus amount (the abundance of the alarm arresting that strobes advice into and out of the card). Whatever the bus rate, the agenda can arresting to the host that it is "busy" until a apprehend or a address operation is complete. Compliance with a college acceleration appraisement is a agreement that the agenda banned its use of the "busy" indication.

32GB SDHC card

The Acceleration Chic Appraisement is the official assemblage of acceleration altitude for SD cards. The chic amount guarantees a minimum address acceleration as a assorted of 8 Mbit/s (1 MB/s). The SDA defines several acceleration chic ratings, but manufacturers may affirmation acclimation to those ratings after absolute verification.

The host accessory can apprehend a card's acceleration class, clashing the beforehand "×" acceleration ratings. A accessory can acquaint the user if the agenda letters a acceleration chic that avalanche beneath an application's minimum need.39

These are the ratings of all currently accessible cards:4041

SDHC Acceleration Chic 4.svg Chic 4 4 MB/s

SDHC Acceleration Chic 6.svg Chic 6 6 MB/s

SDHC Acceleration Chic 10.svg Chic 10 10 MB/s

Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 advance that the agenda supports the agnate amount of MB/s as a minimum abiding address acceleration for a agenda in a burst state. Chic 10 asserts that the agenda supports 10 MB/s as a minimum non-fragmented consecutive address speed.39 By comparison, the earlier "×" appraisement abstinent best acceleration beneath ideal conditions, and was ambiguous as to whether this was apprehend acceleration or address speed.

edit × rating

The × appraisement is a assorted of the accepted CD-ROM drive acceleration of 1.2 Mbit/s (approximately 150 kB/s). Basic cards alteration abstracts up to six times (6×) the CD-ROM speed; that is, 7.2 Mbit/s. The 2.0 blueprint defines speeds up to 200×, but is not as specific as Acceleration Classes are on how to admeasurement speed. Manufacturers may address best-case speeds and may address the card's fastest apprehend speed, which is about faster than the address speed. Vendors including Transcend and Kingston address their cards' address speed.42

This table lists accepted ratings, the minimum alteration rates, and the agnate Acceleration Chic (though the allegory is not consistently exact).

edit UHS Acceleration Class

The Ultra-High Acceleration (UHS) interface is accessible on some SDHC and SDXC cards.43 The afterward ultra-high speeds are specified:

UHS-I cards, authentic in SD Version 3.01,39 abutment a alarm abundance of 100 MHz (a quadrupling of the aboriginal Default Speed), which in four-bit alteration approach could alteration 50 MB/s. UHS-I cards declared as UHS104 aswell abutment a alarm abundance of 208 MHz, which could alteration 104 MB/s. UHS-I is the alone chic for which articles are currently available.41

Double abstracts amount operation at 50 MHz (DDR50) is aswell authentic in Version 3.01, and is binding for microSDHC and microSDXC cards labeled as UHS-I. In this mode, four $.25 are transferred if the alarm arresting rises and addition four $.25 if it falls, appointment an absolute byte on anniversary abounding alarm cycle.

UHS-II cards, to be authentic in Version 4.0, added accession the abstracts alteration amount to a abstract best of 312 MB/s.2644

UHS anamnesis cards plan best with UHS host devices. The aggregate lets the user almanac HD resolution videos to tapeless camcorders while assuming added functions. It is aswell acceptable for real-time broadcasts and capturing ample HD videos.

Cards that accede with UHS appearance UHS-I or UHS-II on the label, and address this adequacy to the host device. Use of UHS requires th
