    Hi,
    I'm considering to buy a fast SD card as extension to SDD. Since these cards today support 90-100 MBps read/write already, and it's growing (check out the upcoming Toshiba Exceria Pro R:260/W:240!), I was wondering whether the host controller won't be a bottleneck.

    Does anyone know what's the maximum read/write speed supported by the internal media card reader?
    It's about X1 from 2011 [1294-2NG], the controller is Ricoh R5U822 (PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E823&SUBSYS_21E817AA&REV_04)

    Thanks!
