This is a page I made a while back to store my microSD speed stuff. When I added the personal pages to the site I just added this to the same category as a test to make sure everything was working properly.

If you want to find your own microSD's speed, use app:speed-tester-for-libfat-cf-bench to do that.

Class 2 = 2 MB/s write speed
Class 4 = 4 MB/s write speed
Class 6 = 6 MB/s write speed

Speed of reading data seems to depend on the card manufacturer, country it was made in, etc.
