No, none of that is true.  Regardless, this isn't the right place to ask about solid state storage performance.

what do you think about it? I don't know what to think and I'm now scared to buy Class 10 for my Clip+.

I don't see much of a point in that guys post, and he's quite wrong.

- When reading audio files you're reading them sequentially. No need for fast random access.
- Cards are pretty fast these days compared to the early ones. The only thing problematic is writing (since flash memory requires you to erase a complete flash page even if you want to write a single byte), but when playing files from an SD card you're only reading it.

I'll skip the rest -- I pretty much disagree with his whole reasoning. Besides, he states:


--- Quote ---Class 10 = High Write/Read, Very Low Random Access response times.
Class 2 = Low Read/Write, Very High Random Access response times.

--- End quote ---

which (to me) reads as:

Class 10: read / write is fast, i.e. high throughput. Low Random Access time means the access is fast.
Class 2: low throughput, i.e. slow read / write. Random Access is slow because access times are high.

Which pretty much means: Class 10 is fast. Class 2 is slow. So either he confuses things or puts it in a way it confuses people.
