Great find and thanks for finding it for us!!! Works beautifully!

Swapped up to an 8GB microSDHC the other day, coming from a 2 gig standard microSD... When copying my files OFF the card, to the internal storage, it was going at ~1300-2000 kb/sec... nice and speedy.

Put in the 8gb, and went to copy them back and got MAYBE 100kb/sec tops... it was horridly slow, especially since this is a Class 6 card and the 2gb was a class 2.

I'll give this a shot, I hope it helps.

I hope it works too! Please post your results!

It's gonna make a big difference. It addresses the SDHC driver, which is not used with non-HC cards (non-HC have their own onboard driver) and rest assured there is a big difference. Try shooting a 1 minute video before and after. Like night and day!

lol.. How does increasing the SDHC driver have an impact on taking a video? And do you mean in play back?

The impact is in the time it takes to write to the card or playback from the card. I noticed a huge difference performing the experiment with video.

This was definitely a great find. I have a Class 4 8 gig card and I definitely noticed that the pics loaded twice as fast.

Thanks for the find.

Taken from Wikipedia...

SDHC cards have SD Speed Class Ratings defined by the SD Association. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify the following minimum write speeds based on "the best fragmented state where no memory unit is occupied":[18]

• Class 2: 2 MB/s
• Class 4: 4 MB/s
• Class 6: 6 MB/s

SDHC cards will often also advertise a maximum speed (such as 133x or 150x) in addition to this minimum Speed Class Rating. See section Speeds above for a further explanation. One critical difference between the Speed Class and the maximum speed ratings is the ability of the host device to query the SD card for the speed class and determine the best location to store data that meets the performance required. "Maximum speed" ratings are quoted by the manufacturers but unverified by any independent evaluation process.
