Less than 10 sec. on an 8 Meg. Lexar card
On an 8 meg. Lexar card is was less than 10 sec. for both a first and second directory off of the root. Earlier today I made a directory off of the root on my 64 Meg. (Dane-Elect card from www.newegg.com) on my MemPlug and it took a long time, probably closer to the longest time in the poll. Wonder if card size has anything to do with it.
Also have a CF card, 32 meg. SanDisk ( SanDisk seems to be the very best brand that consistently works), on a MatchBookDrive adapter and the creation of directories is very fast. Data transfers seem to be very noticeably faster on the CF but not quite twice as fast. Did not do exact measurements. In my Fuji camera a 300-400 Kb file only takes a very few seconds to write to the SmartMedia. I have an idea that MemPlug may very well be able to optimize their programs quite a bit. Even Kopsis was able to speed up their programs for the CF media a lot by making their code more efficient. Programming will be the competition point between the two media. MemPlug has the edge on the built in flash memory for the programs, but otherwise personal preference between SmartMedia and CF will be the only factor there, I feel.
