Thanks for all the input!!! I've now got more cards than I need, but I'll test them out, and see which ones pan out.

Well I got all my cards in, thanks for the suggestions!!! Using ChkFlsh on my 2009 Toshiba (Vista) laptop here are my results if anyone cares. I plan to use 2 for my K-5 and 2 for my GoPro Hero3.

All WRITE SPEEDS.

I presume my laptop is what is holding back some of the numbers I received.
