The latest Raspberry Pi blog entry SD Card Speed Test is a good read.
The tool they're developing for testing your SD card speed is one point; the commentary about how write speed declines as a card gets used, but then rejuvenated when the card is reformatted, is another point. I was kind of aware of this behavior but the blog entry states it nicely.
What really caught my eye, though, is their mention of the new A (for “application”) speed class which apparently is now showing up on SD cards. They picture a SanDisk Ultra card. I have one which apparently I bought before the new mark was adapted.
All in all, the blog is worth a few minutes of your time.
