For those that use the Mac OS X "os-x-cf-write" script, an update can be found 
here:

http://lonnie.abelbeck.com/astlinux/info/os-x-cf-write.php

Changes include:

1) Use /dev/rdiskN instead of /dev/diskN - faster and works better with USB 3.0 
connections.

2) add a bs=64k to dd - faster

3) continue to try a few eject's if the first fails

4) check if the script is run as 'sudo' at the beginning


FYI, Also I received a new gizmo, $15 USD on Amazon...

USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP – SATA to USB 3.0 
Converter for SSD / HDD
http://www.startech.com/HDD/Adapters/USB-3-SATA-adapter-cable-with-UASP~USB3S2SAT3CB

Much faster when I connect directly to my Mac with USB 3.0 .  It also works 
fine with USB 2.0 .

Using this adapter a 32GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD can be erased and written in under 5 
minutes when connected to USB 3.0. Recommended.
