Topic: Repetier host /slicer. SD card or live USB faster?

Still kind of new here to repetier on my davinci 1.0
I am printing using a USB cord, But I have saw post where others have used SD card in the back of the davinci.
I would like to speed up my print time. Would using a SD card speed up my print time?  IF so how do I use the SD card option?  thanks

Re: Repetier host /slicer. SD card or live USB faster?

They would be the same. The data is still moved the card or the USB to the controllers buffer where it is then processed at the speed the controller is capable off. The only advantage to the card is not needing the PC connected and not having some of the inherent USB related failures from bad or too long cables.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
