Hi again,
I've tested another SDHC card. But this time it was a class-4 mini-SDHC with 8GB.
The card is a very cheap one from the German drugstore DM. (No, usually I do not buy my electronics in drugstores ;-) - just a backup card.)
Ok, here are the results. I'm not sure, if my interpretation of them is right.
I've read, that the choice of the underlaying filesystem depends on the amount of open erase blocks.
Is there any rule of best practice for choosing the right filesystem for a particular sd card?
Some feedback would be nice!
Bye, Holger

## Looks like the second and the third block were faster than the others.
Hi,
I'm new to the topic of flash benchmarking. I came across reading several articles about this topic, like these in the German Linux Magazin, issue 07/12 and Arnd's linked article on lwn.
I'm currently playing around with a Raspberry Pi that needs a SD card to boot from. (first partition FAT32 for the kernel, second something like ext3/ext4 for the rootfs). I would like to
get the 'best' perfomance out of it, so I also had a look at the flashbench tool. I made some tests with my 32GB Transcend SDHC card and found out, that the card has a 8MB erase block size
and 8KB pages and can handle up to 5 open-au's. (results are listed below)
So what next?
The next step for me is to find out, how to align the partitions correctly. I already talked to Andrew (thx! I was wrong with the erase block size.) who send me the following link that points
to a script that creates two partitions and aligns them correctly.
Is there anything else I can do? ...or am I wrong?
Bye, Holger

What makes one run slow is the garbage collection that happens because of
the state the drive is already in. Writing in small units can cause this
state.

Well, the question is whether using an 8MB size is also fast with more
than 3 erase blocks. If it can have 6*8MB, that would imply only 3*16MB
in the first run. It may be easier to spot the difference between the
two when you pass '--random', but some drives don't like that at all.

Yes, some drives are like this

Yes, if you have them, then please send them to the mailing list.

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out parameters of my USB drive with Flashbench, but I'm a
bit confused with the results.

# Well, from what I've read so far the page size could be 8kB, but what about
the erase block? This drive seems to behave quite differently than the example
in readme or other cards in this list. Any ideas?

Hello,
Hope youre having a great day!
I am looking to connect with you and find out if you have any computer & electronic equipment available for donation or recycling.
We are able to offer complete services for the removal, secure data wiping and destruction, charitable donations and tax receipts.
