Wish i saw this last week as i ordered the pny class 2 from play for £27.99 just been testing it with h2testw and i was getting 5 MB/sec write and 18mb/sec read much better than the guarenteed 2Mb/sec so i can believe the sandisc runs at 6mb/sec
should handle 720p rec iirc you need about 4 MB/sec

A few people asked how it was working and their posts and my replies disappeared on the sever crash. So here is the same post again..
I got my card today (2 days ago, I never got the cheaper Toshiba card so can't test that one) and this is the results of the speed test.
Write speed is on par with class 6 standard:
$ dd count=1k bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/media/100F-2656/test.tmp
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 151.603 s, 7.1 MB/s
Read speed is also not too bad:
$ sudo hdparm -t -T /dev/sdd
/dev/sdd:
Timing cached reads: 7524 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3764.71 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 60 MB in 3.02 seconds = 19.85 MB/sec
It's great can now get all my mp3's on and still have space, seems much faster than the stock card.
Okay, could someone explain what class 2 or class 6 means How can one memory card differ from another?
i will need to change mine at some point to get more music on ( i will use it as a back-up for some of my itunes stuff) and dont want to get a useless one

Class 2 is at least 2MB/s.
Class 4 is at least 4MB/s.
Class 6 is at least 6MB/s.
