===> slow on the 12 GB boundary. apparently all 12 MB multiples are slow, confirming the 12 MB erase size
Verdict:
This card will be good with f2fs when formatted with 12 MB log sizes, and partitions aligned to 12 MB, which unfortunately, tools do not do by default.
It should also work reasonably with ext4 and btrfs, although the 12 MB erase blocks are large enough to be problematic for small file writes.

Arnd, I'm curious: why did you chose "3*4096" instead of "4*4096" given the previous comment? Mixing up 12MB with 12KB?
thanks, grant

===> Suggests 12 MB erase blocks, 16 KB page size
$ sudo ./flashbench --open-au /dev/mmcblk0 --erasesize=$[12*1024*1024] --blocksize=$[3*4096]
Arnd, I'm curious: why did you chose "3*4096" instead of "4*4096" given the previous comment? Mixing up 12MB with 12KB?
I never got around to teach flashbench about eraseblocks that have a non-power-of-two number of pages. If I do the above, there are 1024 logical "blocks" in an eraseblock, which works around this limitation, although not too well.

Ah ok! I was reading "--blocksize $[3*4096]" as IO transaction size in bytes (12KB) and not as the erase block size in KB (12MB).
thanks, grant

You were reading correctly. "--erasesize" is the erase block size in bytes, while "--blocksize" is the minimum transfer size in bytes. flashbench tries all power-of-two multiples of blocksize starting with erasesize but does not work if erasesize is not a power-of-two multiple of blocksize.
