There's some other speed increase (UHS) that comes along with also

FPGAs to
do that or even know if they can.
I thought it was going from SPI mode to MMC mode that did this, not
the double clocking nor the 1bit to 4bit bus steps.
I knew it wasn't either the double clocking or using all four lanes, I
just didn't know what it was called and was too lazy to dig out the SD
protocol spec.
But now I pulled up the spec and it's saying that it's UHS cards that
support the modes that use the lower voltage and there are seven bus
speed modes:
DS (Default Speed)
HS (High Speed)
SDR12
SDR25
SDR50
DDR50
SDR104
DS and HS use 3.3V signaling while the SDR and DDR modes use 1.8V.? Then
UHS-II adds a couple more modes.? SPI mode is separate from all of this,
something just tossed in there for us hobbyists to play around with.
