Hello!
These are the results from a SanDisk SDHC card 8 GB class 4 (7560 MiB), using flashbench 62-1 (Linux Mint 15 / Ubuntu 13.04 repository, and kernel 3.11.0). The SD Card is raw, without formatation. There are informations about the card controller from my laptop too.
I have some questions about flashbench tool. Are there any development in this tool yet? Am I using the correct version? What is the -a parameter, it's not in documentation (it's not in the --help parameter too).

I think that the Erased Block has 4 MiB and each Page has 16 kiB, but the open-au it's only 1 or maybe 2, I don't know. Is that correct?
I want use F2FS in this card, but I don't know if this card is good for this, and I don't know too how to alignment correctly with F2FS, using mkfs.f2fs.
