Today I turned in my History paper, and I am going to finish my Philosophy paper, as well. I'll be handing Philosophy in tomorrow. If that happens, I'll be all set to check out for break. Also, I got my new 16GB SDHC flash card today. I tried it on for speed, and I only got 8.6MB/s for write speed, and 15.7MB/s for several smaller files' transfer. Supposedly this one had 17MB/s write and almost 20MB/s read. I'm upset, but I haven't gotten the chance to test it out in our camera yet, because Hannah has it in Milwaukee, so I'll be able to try later on this week. The whole thing was that I needed a disk on which to record HD video. At the very least, it beat out my previous card that had a write speed of 1.4MB/s and read speed of 7.4MB/s. Now, I know that the old card did record for a little bit, but had a hiccup, so it seemed that its average speed was OK, but its minimum was not. Also, I looked at a couple of the high def videos I have, and divided up the size by the length of time... They work out to be just under 1MB/s. So, I am pretty hopeful that it will work out. I'll keep you posted.
