From what I found during my testing, it can be more than a small difference in performance. Quite a few manufacturers have sacrificed read/write performance for smaller files (<1MB) to improve performance handling large files. 2 Lexar 16GB U1 cards that work great in my D7100 (average RAW size is ~28MB, average JPG size is 11MB) are lousy in my Aura more than quadrupling the time required to process a batch of 500 epubs. Their 104MB/S U1 speed means very little when my average file size for an epub is less than 500KB while the chapter files in the zip wrapper for an epub average ~20KB after decompression. I might also note that the Aura mounts the cards directly, the D7100 needs a uSD/SD adapter.

Regards,
David
