The fact class > 4 are less well-performing for random access seems to come from a xda-developers thread. This benchmark method seems not reliable to me, since it comes from different users with different card readers (and some of them has different buses!)
Anyway, an UHS sd card would not perform as well on Kobo, since it probably does not have an UHS bus. |
Always asumed that since there's little access to the card (the reader loads the book in the buffer, you start reading, and only it access as you go through blocks of memory), class 2 and class 4 cards were fine. HOWEVER I've had a high failure rate in almost all cards lately. I usually buy Sandisk SDs, they're not expensive and I've never had any failing on me. Is the reader chomping them? I have a new card and no battery drain so far. I rebuilt all of my database as we speak, but it's as if the reader gets slower and slower over time indexing things. It's never been this slow before.
