I think the results are clear though -- Anything less than 4MB (other than short 1MB writes) is slower; 4MB offset by 2MB is slower than 4MB, and 8MB with a 4MB offset is the same speed as 8MB. Longer writes get faster, but 12MB, another multiple of 4, is the fastest. No doubt that I'm at 4MB What's my page size here -- 16KB or 32? i'm thinking 16, because there are times when 16KB was running at greater than half the speed of 32KB, but I'm not positive on this... I'm going to transfer my OS to the Kingston drive and get some better results for the Lexar drive later today. Thanks again for your time and help! -- Sent from my mobile device

Lexar JumpDrive TwistTurn 4GB USB flashdrive

by Ajax Criterion

Hello! I'm relatively new to linux (been working with it for 7 or 8 months now), primarily using and contributing to the Porteus Linux community. Porteus is a distro that is optimized to run from a cd, USB flash drive, CF, SD, or other portable bootable media. As such, I'm trying to improve my knowledge of how flash devices work and how to best optimize them for use under linux (and, thus, it seems we may have some common goals). Arnd, your article at LWN as well as the information you've posted at linaro and to this mailing list has been a great help to me -- thank you for your time and efforts! I have three flash drives ( an 8GB Kingston DataTraveller DT101 G2, which doesn't seem to match up with the results you've already posted on the flash card survey for an 8GB DataTraveller, a 4GB Lexar JumpDrive TwistTurn, and an old 1GB USB1.1 unnamed drive that I received as a gift). I benched the Kingston and Lexar models yesterday, but somehow flashbench or one of the other commands I ran during the process wiped out the MBR and partition tables on both drives, and I've lost almost all of my data. The only thing I've been able to salvage so far is the results for the Lexar drive. I'll send along results for the others, and if I can figure out what I did to hose my drives I'll report on that as well (if you have any good recommendations for recovering data, I'm all ears! I've tried testdisk, dd_rescue, and scalpel without much luck --this could just be my lack of skill lol. Scalpel was able to get some text scattered around, which is how I got the Lexar results back). Ok, on to the results: ## Note -- this drive is 2-3 years old, give or take. bash-4.1# Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05dc:a764 Lexar Media, Inc. bash-4.1# fdisk -lu /dev/sdc Disk /dev/sdc: 4009 MB, 4009754624 bytes 128 heads, 16 sectors/track, 3824 cylinders, total 7831552 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x77ac9c58 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 * 49152 3637247 1794048 83 Linux /dev/sdc2 3637248 7831551 2097152 83 Linux bash-4.1# ## In an effort to improve performance without really knowing the erasesize of this drive, I started my partitions on 24MB intervals (least common denominator for all of the common allocation unit sizes on the flash card survey) and set my cylinder size to be one MB (I don't know if cylinder size, sectors/track, etc., really matters, since the FS block sizes don't match up to the page sizes anyway, but I thought it was worth a try). However, this didn't really help my performance very much.

I'm very perplexed by this drive, because it was very clear to see the 4MB units in the kingston drive, both with the flashbench -a test and on the scatter plot. I spent the last couple of weeks benchmarking this drive with a script that I wrote, to try out various filesystems that work best with the Porteus operating system. I ran a substantial amount of tests with it improperly aligned, and got only a slight improvement when I aligned it to start partitions on 24MB blocks, so I guess it's not surprising that the eraseblock boundaries are difficult to find! I am curious to know what kind of improvements you see (or expect to see) when a drive is in versus out of alignment (and I'll be benchmarking my kingston drive to test this out as well). This information will likely be of great interest to our community. If I can sort out and resolve the cause for my drives getting wasted, I'll also recommend the flashbench tool to other users, and collect their results for your flashcard survey. Thanks again! -Ahau

Kingston 8GB Datatraveler DT101 G2

by Ajax Criterion

Hi again, I was able to recover *most* of the test results for my Kingston drive. I've stitched this together from several chunks that were recovered, so bits and pieces are missing throughout, but most of the info is here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to retrieve the full ouput of the 'flashbench -a' test -- I suppose you can take my word that it has a 4MB erase size until I can run some more tests on this drive :) KINGSTON 8GB Datatraveler DT101 G2 bash-4.1# fdisk -lu /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 7998 MB, 7998537728 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 972 cylinders, total 15622144 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 63 3148739 1574338+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/sdb2 * 3148740 15615179 6233220 83 Linux bash-4.1# ## FAT32 in the front, EXT2 in the back lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0930:6545 Toshiba Corp.
