Depends. How do you know that it freezes? Sometimes these tests can take a *very* long time. Do you see any messages in 'dmesg'?

If the card is a fake one, it's possible that it's already hitting some broken erase blocks.
ok, should'nt i see then something in dmesg like with mtd devices? or is the block-layer hiding it?
You should definitely see something in dmesg if there is a hardware problem.
When you see a stall like that again, another idea is to attach an 'strace' to the flashbench process and see if it's still doing system calls.
