The 20-shot burst is just enough to overflow the buffer so you begin to see how quickly the camera can write out to the card and resume shooting. Keep in mind that I'm shooting at 8 fps, so the closer the 'effective' test fps is the less impact the card has on shooting speed. That’s exactly what I’ve tried to do.

Is there a way to guage user impact the same way you have captured for JPGs? I realize the burst performance with RAW might not allow a large differentiation in continuous RAW file shooting between your A and B categories. However, with time and new technology I assume it would. I have an old card that at 6 fps bursts 20 RAW 12 bit files at 6 fps while a newer SanDisk Extreme IV that gives roughly 25-6. Also noticeable is the time lag until you can continue shooting again. With the old card it seems like an eternity. I find the RAW ratings difficult to interpret.
