i.e. it writes the maximal file size of 4G in FAT32 and 3.5G are left as
free;
the write speed is

Probably I'm just making more noise; you didn't give any
hardware details. Some manufacturers (I have a SanDisk
Cruzer) are now putting multiple partitions on a flash stick;
the Cruzer has one which, on Windows,emulates a CD-ROM drive
(dunno why a CD emulation would take up 3.5 GB, tho).
