Obviously you can only get the USB 3.0 speeds if your motherboard or plug in
card supports USB 3.0.

Cards formatted using Flash Memory Toolkit Professional ver 2.01 and then
tested using the Low level Benchmark on 3 different high speed (600x) 16GB
cards from Lexar, Sandisk and Transcend. The overall performance graph is an
average of the 3 cards for each reader. The individual results are given for each
reader in the following pages. For the Real World Speed test, The Doc used a
16GB SanDisk Extreme Pro card with 10GB of Canon RAW images downloaded
using Downloader Pro ver. 2.2.8.
