I wanted to add an SDHC card but was unsure how fast the slot is in this notebook. Could it make full use of a 60MB/s card or is the reader going to be the bottleneck?

Hi buddy,

I never heard that card slot speed is limited. Usually it’s depending on the SD or SDHC card.

Where did you saw a SDHC card with 60 MB/s? Fastest SDHC card is known to me is SanDisk Extreme 30MB/s and they are really fast. I only use this brand of SDHC cards and never had any problems with performance or something else. They are fast enough for recording FullHD movies for example :)

Hello

Normally 60MB/s should be no problem for SD card slot but why is the speed so important?

What do you do with the SDHC card? Just to copy pictures/videos on your computer?

Hi

The speed depend on the SDHC card… if you will use low budget and low quality SDHC card then the speed will be lower!

So it’s not a question of the slot but the card you want to use…

PS: Check the tool called H2testw. It’s for free and it help you to check the speed.
