There’s not a whole lot to do for memory card installation. If you plan on writing files to the card, make sure the card is not write-protected. Installation is then very straight forward, you can only insert the card one way on all devices that I’ve had.

For testing purposes, I will be using a 150X SDHC card reader along with my regular day-to-day machine.

• CPU: Intel C2D Q6600 (G0 SLACR L731B434) @ 2.71 GHz

• CPU Cooling: Thermalright HR-01 w/ 120mm Antec Tri-Cool Fan

• RAM: Aeneon 2x2GB XTune DDR3-1600 @ 10-10-10-30 1T
• PWM/NB/SB Cooling: Stock
• PSU: Cooler Master Real Power Pro 850W
• HD: Seagate SATA 80 GB 8MB NCQ (ST380811AS)
• OS: Windows Vista x64
• Sapphire HD 4850 X2 Catalyst 8.12

Flash Memory

• OCZ Gold Series SDHC – 8GB

• OCZ SDHC 4GB Class 6

I’ll be running the following benchmarks: 32MB ATTO Disk Bench with transfer sizes of 0.5 to 1024KB, 1000MB File size CrystalDiskMark v2.2, HD Tach RW v3.0.1.0 and HD Tune Pro 3.10. All benchmarks will be executed 3 times with rests in between. The average result will be published along with sample graphs as applicable.

I will also capture my experience of using the Gold Series SDHC with my Canon SD880IS digital camera and Samsung SC-MX20 digital camcorder.
