Because even after weeks of waiting time still no (similar priced) alternative is to see, I try it again with Sandisk.
The advertised speed of 48MB / s is almost reached, but when writing (1GB test file size) is
the card certainly not the fastest.

As long as I have no loss of data, the card capacity and speed gets 4 stars ....
(Including the understandable slump when writing "Random Write 512K", which had been the previous card here costs, a point)
