By using SLC rather than MLC flash memory (see inset), Integral can confidently supply this Endurance SDHC memory card with a 10-year warranty. Data transfer speeds are announced at 30 MBps, which should be sufficient for most types of device.
Although Integral's card can't quite deliver the 30 MBps promised in the tech specs, this SDHC card is still pretty fast. With write speeds of 19.5 MBps, it'll be perfectly suitable for consumer SLR cameras. Read speeds reach up to 23.5 MBps.
In practice, it'll take 3 minutes and 30 seconds to copy 4 GB of files onto the card or 2 minutes and 50 seconds to copy the same files off again.
