Transcend JetFlash 700 32GB USB3 Drive TS32GJF700

by Andrew Bradford

Transcend JetFlash 700 32GB TS32GJF700 USB3 USB drive, testing in USB2 port. Had some issues at first but after wiping the partition table, those seem to have gone away. They may be caused by my host somewhat and not entirely be the USB drive's fault but I've not investigated further. I've included the problem output here, if anyone has any suggestions as to the root cause, please let me know.

Hi! I've started using that great tool to figure out how I should partition some cards but I'm not sure how to continue after the first results I've got and I'd like some guidance. Also I'd like to know if the card reader can influence the results since I've tested with 2 different laptops internal SD card readers and noticed differences in the times. I also checked with 'dd' the speeds and found the writing speed limited up to less than 10 MiB/s and a reading speed limited up to 14 MiB/s or so with chunks of 32 kiB and 4 MiB. Eventually I checked on an Android phone and got the writing speed limited up to 11 MiB/s or so and the reading speed limited up to less than 20 MiB/s. To make sure I compiled flashbench to run on the phone and also found different times than on the laptops. # # Product Page # http://www.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?LangNo=0&modno=320 # # Details # $ head /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/* 2>/dev/null | grep -v ^$ ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/block <== ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid <== 1b534d30303030301078944a9000c100 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/csd <== 400e00325b590000e9e57f800a404000 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/date <== 01/2012 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/driver <== ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/erase_size <== 512 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/fwrev <== 0x0 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/hwrev <== 0x1 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/manfid <== 0x00001b ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/name <== 00000 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/oemid <== 0x534d ## i.e. "SM" ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/power <== ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/preferred_erase_size <== 4194304 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/scr <== 02b5800200000000 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/serial <== 0x78944a90 ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/subsystem <== ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/type <== SD ==> /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/uevent <== DRIVER=mmcblk MMC_TYPE=SD MMC_NAME=00000 MODALIAS=mmc:block # # Size # $ cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/block/mmcblk0/size 61315072 # # Factor # $ factor 61315072 61315072: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 7 7 13 47 Does it mean that the erase block size could be 7 MiB?
