Oh, I see. Good thought about flushing cache. The speeds for read and write are different on a SD card with read being always faster and so I was thinking to do only the read test and to have dd(1) read directly from the device rather than going through the file system - taking the file system

If anyone cares this is the card I have coming and will speed test by using dd(1) from the device to dev/null. But as Tim said the bus speed the Glamo willbe limiting. http://www.memorysuppliers.com/atp-fmcs-atp-microsd-af4gud-ap-with-adapter.html Jim On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 3:07 PM, Jim Colton
