Performance in IOMark

Here are the results obtained in IOMark test:

The test run with the help of IOMark utility prove the indisputable leadership of Transcend 45x. This solution only yielded to its 30x counterpart in access time and completely outperformed it as well as other CompactFlash cards in read and write speed, leaving not a single chance to them. The send faster is definitely Transcend 30x, which managed to win in the access time test and to defeat the remaining three rivals. The latter three cards run very close to one another throughout the entire test session. I could probably say that PQI appeared a little faster though.

Of course, if we talk about the interface preferences, FireWire will definitely win. If you work via FireWire interface, faster memory cards will be able to show more of their potential.
