dd benchmarks

đź’ˇ

Since some cards are too small to use conventional modern benchmark software, here are some numbers using dd along with comparable cards for context. The write command is dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/rdisk4 count=8192, and the read command is dd if=/dev/rdisk4 of=/dev/null. Test system us MacOS 12.6 with a “Genesys Logic” USB2.0 CF reader
