If I'm reading my results correctly, this card is 2MB erase blocks and 8KB pages and it can only have 1 open segment at a time? It's not that fast of a card, I have another one with ext3 running on a PandaBoard with Emdebian Squeeze.
As this is my first usage of flashbench, if there's any other info that would be useful, please let me know. This card was brand new before testing.
Thanks, Andrew
