Here's where the confusion sets in...


The real confusion to me oi when they quote e.g. 150x when it fact the read/write is around 20x

The 4x I quoted meant the actual read/write speed, which was at one time shown on the Kingston site for their standard cards.

However, two different cards showing 160x could be different read/write speeds.

A friend suggested some time back that maybe the .e.g. 160x means 160 Mb. Divide by 8 to get 20MB. It appears to work it a lot of cases but not all.

Until it is standardised confusion will reign and I'll stick with Kingston. :D


We've been discussing this in another topic. In it I was told:
Quote:
There are different speed grades available which are measured with the same system as CD-ROMs, in multiples of 150 kB/s. Basic cards transfer data up to six times the data rate of the standard CD-ROM speed (900 kB/s, vs. 150 kB/s). High-speed cards are made with higher data transfer rates like 66x (10 MB/s), and high-end cards have speeds of 150x or higher.


So your x4 speed cards sound far too slow!

Hi, has anyone actually found a 4G SD card that works in TTOne V2 ?
Please only reply with knowledge/use of TTONE regional new edition (UK)V2 as it may save confusion, I have spent all day with TT Support on the phone (UK) to no avail and despite them saying as long as the SD card has a min speed req of 10mb/s there are no known issues, and further to checking the new card in other devices which works ok, I can`t get my TT to recognise the card, even with the TT software installed via card reader/writer,(which also proves no fault with the card itself) TT Support official line is a 4G SD inc SDHC should work...and just say return it for a replacement card !!
I say whats the point if it is not going to work....!! very frustrating and way too little info available....is there a guide or any written tech report to help resolve this problem..anyone ?
to Clarify: my new 4G card is:SDHC by Integral (Toshiba)
Plain English Apreciated Smile
Thanks,
Hooty.

Several posts on this forum say that only 4GB cards that are NOT SDHC will work on TomToms (upto and including the ONE XL). Try a search for "SDHC" in this part of the forum. It gives 9 hits and the third one down suggests 150x Transcend or Topram have been reported to work.

I will be purchasing another card for my TT One Europe in the next day or so....

Is 1 Gb big enough?

What brands do you guys actually recommend and what speed?

Thanks


1GB card with W&E is about 925MB then you will need the tomtom software and the say speed camera's and voice warnings and if you go for the WE&CE that is 1.7GB so you will need at least 2GB card then



Wow.....

What size was shipped with my TT?Is it a 2 GB?

The best way is to plug it into the PC and see what space is used and what space is free and put the two together.

The one supplied with a TT One Europe would have been 1GB
So there's room for the WE map, the TomTom software, the PGPSW speedcams and voice warnings.

Sandisk Ultra III 2Gb 16.99£ www.mymemory.co.uk Not related to them in any way, just a happy, satisfied customer, plus they are QUICK on delivery. Enjoy..

PS TTOne Western Europe, Speed cams (Pocket GPS and TomTom), Plus a number of voices (personalised as well), uses about 950Mb, and 1Gb was sufficient.
