Here can write your experiences, problems, speed test results with diverse Flash cards. Mostly related with usage with Ataris and clones.

I bought cheaper 16 GB Sandisk Ultra, it claims 80 MB/s read speed, write speed is not given, so probably not too good.
Testing on PC with IDE-SD adapter gives:  read speed 25 MB/s,  write speed 10 MB/sec . That 25 MB/sec is certainly adapters max speed - got same with basic 16 GB SD card too, which can 5 MB/s in write.
So, we could say that this is too good for Ataris. Unfortunately, things with UltraSatan are not so good. Actually, this Sandisk Ultra 16 GB is slowest card so far I seen with UltraSatan - read speed only about 790-850 KB/sec .  Somehow UltraSatan works not well with faster cards, what is something I observed years ago, and even reported to Jookie.
Would be good if people could post here some results with CosmosEx and SD cards.

I will soon do some tests with CATA prototype and IDE-SD adapter(s) and some SD cards.
