dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1 to 15M

runs, 13-14MB/s from actual files copied
in mc to flash and 36-39MB/s file copied
from flash to hdd in mc.

dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/zero bs=15m

gives 33MB/s read.
and this is incredibly high as of any pendrive.

Consider few things:

- pendrive flash mappers are incredibly dumb, they work in usable speed when you do linear write only.

- today lies are standard. never believe in stated performance unless you measure it.


even recognized in FreeBSD as device.
what i do with any pendrive:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=64k count=1
newfs_msdosfs /dev/da0 (if i want FAT filesystem)

partition table is not needed in any OS, including Windows starting from XP.


msdosfs in FreeBSD isn't high performance too.

try writing small amount of huge files.
