SD Card speed tests in Pocket PCs - request for help

[dunos]

After having looked for speed results for modern SD cards in my model ipaq and failing I am asking for your help.

What I want to do is compile a spreadsheet of card speed test results and then publish them on the net. You can help me by posting your SD card speeds here which I will add to my spreadsheet.

To do this we need a standard bit of software for measuring card speed and a standard reporting format.

The software I would like you to use is Anton Tomov Pocket Mechanic v1.52. I would like you to set the card speed test options as follows:

Read test: yes
Write test: yes
Sequential sectors: yes
Random sectors: yes
Sectors/block: 64
Variable: yes
Repeat tests: 5

And then Report your results in the following format:

Device Make: HP
Device Model: iPAQ h4150
Device Firmware: 1.10
Device OS: WM2003
SD Make: Kingston
SD Model: Elite Pro
SD Capacity: 512MB
SD Free Space: 62MB
FAT Type: FAT16
Cluster Size: 32768
Read (MB/s): 0.7
Read (X): 1.8
Write (MB/s): 0.35
Write (X): 2.4

A link to the download would be helpful.

A link to your web site would also be useful, your could then use a form-mail page for people to type in answers.

I am not sure that using the resources of this web site for research for your project will be looked upon by the Forum administrators as correct, but I may be wrong.

After having taken on board your comments I have created a website that will display all the speed tests that I have performed or had sent to me. The website is here:

I am in the process of building an online form to make it easy to submit results. The website also has a link to the trial version of Pocket Mechanic which can be used to speed test cards.

I would have thought that this sort of research would come under Accessories. It isn't a commercial project, it merely started as a way for me to find out which SD card I should buy if I want fast read speeds in my device, something that can be very important when using navigational aids.
