This one is always known well for its reputation and so it becomes famous among the SDHC card series. Class 2 SDHC means this card can write up to a speed of 2 MB/s. SDHC when compared to older Secure Digital cards, give more storage and write speed. Also now the naming of these cards has also changed from those earlier X-ratings to the much easier Class ratings for the card.
The new class system can help the user understand the performance of the card and also present an insight for the write speed, but it has no explanation for the read speeds and the random access time. Some tests were conducted using a reader which can accept cards up to class 6. These tests were done on the card without any data on it. It was a huge surprise to see such an entry level 8 GB SDHC card performing with a 20 MB/s read speed. In the SDHC basic category, this card performs exceedingly high as compared to other competitors.
This Lexar card has definitely presented a wonderful performance in the Class 2 SDHC card series. Everything you expect is delivered by this reasonably priced 8 GB Class 2 spec card. The performance is definitely impressive as what one would expect for a Class 2 card and it shows that there is no need for investing in expensive Class 6 cards used for portable media players.
