Hi Jim: So I finally got around to downloading CrystalDiskMark and testing my card. These are the results: Sequential Read : 16.70 MB/s Sequential Write : 11.37 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 16.41 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 0.433 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 2.588 MB/s Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.003 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 3.456 MB/s Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.004 MB/s Clearly, the 4KB writes are extremely slow. It is possible that this poor performance is due to Windows 8 rather than the card itself? In any case, the poor write performance is probably the cause of the SeaMonkey slowdown. I also noticed that when I copied the profile onto the card across my network it took a very long time (which I had assumed was because I did it via wireless...).
Yes, I think you have found the cause (actually I guess it's the source, the cause is still undetermined) of your performance problem. It would be interesting to test the card on Windows 7 or XP or another machine. In any case it's good to know that CrystalDiskMark runs on Windows 8.
