The following tests were run using the VFSMark benchmarking tool. This tool compares speeds of various cards compared to a palmOne m500 using a 16 MB SD card. The SD card tests below were run on a Tungsten T3 and the Memory Stick cards were run on a TH55.

Disclaimer: These tests are for illustrative purposes only. They are not meant to be scientific in that the cards I used varied by manufacturer, size, and amount of data on them.
