Memory card & old flash use with X-M1 / A1

I have a couple of questions about the X-M1 / X-A1:

1. Does using a UHS-I SD card give a speed benefit over a standard class 10 card? I'm thinking particularly of whether the Transcend Ultimate cards give any benefit over the Transcend Premium cards?

2. According to the manual, you shouldn't use a flash with a trigger voltage of more than 300V with the camera. This seems very high, normally the advice with digital cameras seems to be more like don't use any flashes with a trigger voltage over something like 6V. Does anyone know whether the 300V figure is correct? It would mean that many old flashes, such as the old Vivitar 283s could be used on the camera if true.

Thanks

Dave
