Short: IT'S FINE!!

No it's not fine. Don't get it.

You should never get a card slower then about 60x if you plan on using it for DS because that's upwards to the limits of how fast the Supercard SD can read and slower cards will likely cause lockups.

Though, if you want to use it to store movies or music for something like moonshell it'd probably be fine.

I think it's no promblem, I have an prehistoric 32 mb cf card that's SOOOO slow. but it runs fine with the SC except for some slowdown i f a lot of thing are popping up on the screen. I haven't seen any lock ups.

CF != SD.

SCCF is faster and stabler then SCSD. This has been proven on several occations. You can get it if you want, but I would highly recommend you get nothing slower then about 60x on SD.

I have two PNY SD cards, neither with a speed rating. The only slowdown I've had is in Sonic Rush download multiplayer.
