Not exactly earthshaking information but helpful. Do read the comments though as there is some disagreement as to content.

UDMA 1 supports speeds up to 16.7 MB/s. UDMA 7 is ten times that speed, maxing out at 167 MB/s

Nice that people still use math they learned in Kindergarten... OTOH, perhaps it's only seven times as fast 'normally', depends on what "maxing out" means, I guess. Some UDMA 7 cards are seven times faster than UDMA 1, unless you get one that is "maxed out" (quad carbs or supercharged, low pressure exhausts?).

Oh well, next time I need a card, I'll just contact the TS expert!
