8GB no-name class4 mini-SDHC

by Holger Bast

Hi again, I've tested another SDHC card. But this time it was a class-4 mini-SDHC with 8GB. The card is a very cheap one from the German drugstore DM. (No, usually I do not buy my electronics in drugstores ;-) - just a backup card.) Ok, here are the results. I'm not sure, if my interpretation of them is right. I've read, that the choice of the underlaying filesystem depends on the amount of open erase blocks. Is there any rule of best practice for choosing the right filesystem for a particular sd card? Some feedback would be nice!

32GB Transcend SDHC

by Holger Bast

Hi, I'm new to the topic of flash benchmarking. I came across reading several articles about this topic, like these in the German Linux Magazin, issue 07/12 and Arnd's linked article on lwn. I'm currently playing around with a Raspberry Pi that needs a SD card to boot from. (first partition FAT32 for the kernel, second something like ext3/ext4 for the rootfs). I would like to get the 'best' perfomance out of it, so I also had a look at the flashbench tool. I made some tests with my 32GB Transcend SDHC card and found out, that the card has a 8MB erase block size and 8KB pages and can handle up to 5 open-au's. (results are listed below) So what next? The next step for me is to find out, how to align the partitions correctly. I already talked to Andrew (thx! I was wrong with the erase block size.) who send me the following link that points to a script that creates two partitions and aligns them correctly. Is there anything else I can do? ...or am I wrong?

If it can have 6*8MB, that would imply only 3*16MB in the first run. It may be easier to spot the difference between the two when you pass '--random', but some drives don't like that at all. > $ sudo flashbench /dev/sdb --open-au --erasesize=$[12*1024*1024] -- > blocksize=$[6*1024] --open-au-nr=3 > 12MiB 2.88M/s > 6MiB 3.79M/s > 3MiB 4.65M/s > 1.5MiB 6.28M/s > 768KiB 6.22M/s > 384KiB 6.16M/s > 192KiB 6.11M/s > 96KiB 5.96M/s > 48KiB 5.32M/s > 24KiB 3.73M/s > 12KiB 1.95M/s > 6KiB 1.05M/s > > # 12 MB definetely ruled out right. > So, it seems to have 16 MB erase blocks?

Re: [Flashbench] Transcend Ultimate 32GB Class 10 microSDHC TS32GUSDHC10

I've lost its original partitioning and formatting and I'd be interested in having a raw copy of the first 17 MiB using dd or at least to know the details about the partitioning and formatting (it can be from the MB-MSBGA). Actually I'd like to partition it with a FAT32 and an ext4. Should I care about the C/H/S for partitioning or can I just ignore it? I plan to set the FAT32 partition with a cluster size of 32 KiB. If I understand well the partition should start at the 8 MiB offset and not the 4 MiB one, shoudn't it? And of course I'd set the right amount of reserved sectors so the data would start at the 16 MiB offset to keep it align with the erase block size of 8 MiB, right? I've also tried to see if there is any FAT area but it doesn't look to be the case here: $ sudo ./flashbench /dev/mmcblk0 --findfat --erasesize=$[2*1024*1024] --blocksize=$[16*1024] --fat-nr=10 2MiB 8.43M/s 8.92M/s 9.13M/s 8.81M/s 8.87M/s 9.01M/s 8.75M/s 8.97M/s 8.94M/s 8.62M/s 1MiB 8.68M/s 8.97M/s 8.63M/s 9.03M/s 9.01M/s 8.86M/s 8.81M/s 8.88M/s 8.91M/s 8.72M/s 512KiB 8.76M/s 8.93M/s 9.01M/s 8.71M/s 9M/s 8.59M/s 8.93M/s 8.92M/s 8.82M/s 8.58M/s 256KiB 8.8M/s 8.93M/s 9.03M/s 8.72M/s 8.84M/s 9.03M/s 8.63M/s 8.91M/s 8.92M/s 9.01M/s 128KiB 8.67M/s 8.87M/s 8.83M/s 8.77M/s 8.92M/s 8.9M/s 8.75M/s 8.93M/s 9.01M/s 9.03M/s 64KiB 8.68M/s 8.82M/s 8.88M/s 8.71M/s 8.94M/s 8.85M/s 8.74M/s 8.92M/s 8.72M/s 8.76M/s 32KiB 7.11M/s 7.13M/s 7.23M/s 7.22M/s 7.24M/s 7.46M/s 7.11M/s 7.33M/s 7.37M/s 7.42M/s 16KiB 4.58M/s 4.81M/s 4.75M/s 4.76M/s 4.77M/s 4.77M/s 4.7M/s 4.7M/s 4.8M/s 2.1M/s About the ext4, do you have any recommendation?

It looks comparable to the results for the SDSDU-032G-A11.

Help me make sense of the numbers please

by Gerald Livingston

Patriot LX Series 16GB Class 10 PSF16GSDHC10-PC The 32GB version is already in the table but I can't be sure the boundaries would be the same. I'm trying to follow this tutorial to optimize the ext4 partition on one of these for use in a Raspberry Pi. I also require a small vfat (about 40MB) partition at the beginning for /boot. http://blogofterje.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/optimizing-fs-on-sd-card/ If anyone can make sense of the attached numbers could you tell me what boundary to set the partition on and the stripe/stride numbers to use. Or explain to me how I can get more meaningful numbers with flashbench for inclusion of this card in the table? thanks, Gerald

Write size of sdcard

by preetham

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to determine the write size and page size using flashbench as per the data in the table in the below link? https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Kernel/Projects/FlashCardSurvey?actio… Thanks, Preetham

SD Card OEM information.

by preetham

Hi, Is there a way where I can grab OEM and other information from /dev/sdc1? It seems like most information can be extracted from /dev/mmc,,./devices*. I was wondering if I could extract the same information from sdc1? Thanks, Preetham

Transcend JetFlash 700 32GB USB3 Drive TS32GJF700

by Andrew Bradford

Transcend JetFlash 700 32GB TS32GJF700 USB3 USB drive, testing in USB2 port. Had some issues at first but after wiping the partition table, those seem to have gone away. They may be caused by my host somewhat and not entirely be the USB drive's fault but I've not investigated further. I've included the problem output here, if anyone has any suggestions as to the root cause, please let me know.
