Lenovo X200 Tablet w/ SD Card Reader. Will SDHC Cards Work?

#1 Post by epu » Sun May 23, 2010 8:46 pm

I believe I have the model with the SD Card slot instead of the 5 in 1 slot (Drats!). Will SDHC cards work? Furthermore, will I be able to reap the benefits over regular SD cards with this reader?

I'm not sure if this is the same reader but the reader in my X200 (non-tablet) handles my Transcend SDHC 8GB Class-6 card with no problems.

Average transfer rates:
Read = 13MB/s
Write = 8MB/s

Yes...SDHC up to 32 GB works fine in my X200s.

Well, there are new SDHC cards touting 60MB/s write speeds. Will the X200 be able to utilize this speed?

Second one is a CompactFlash card, won't even fit in the reader.

I don't know if the first one will work. It says it's a Class 10 card.
