I'm mystified by this as well. I'm getting the 'write speed not high
enough' message every start up on my system*. If the system is failing
a benchmark of 120 KB/sec, how is it that !Speed records IKB and 4KB
block write speeds on the SD card in question as 314 and 1067 KB/sec
respectively (and larger blocks much faster e.g. 6809 KB/sec for
64KB)?
