Well if you are talking about the 5DMKIII you don't need anything faster than 20MB/sec. The SD card slot is not a high speed slot. The CF card slot is however.

If you set it up to write to both cards simultaneously then the camera will default to the slowest card speed.

Should add, it's probably only a shooting issue if you machine-gun.
