Root SD card transfer rate

[bigt]

I recently changed ROMS from Cyanogen to Oxygen (gingerbread) to take advantage of apps2sd+. After creating an ext2 partition on my SD card my transfer rate to the card has gone from 3MB/s to 500KB/s. Is this usual? The 'internal' transfer rate is unchanged, I can still play music/capture video fine. It is just slow copying files from computer to phone.

hmm
what does sdcard speed test say (ap on market)

 

[Rastaman-FB]

how did you partition? its likely the partitions are not aligned which will cause degradation of transfer speeds

 

[bigt]

I ran SD test yesterday when slow speeds started, from memory read was 10ish MB/s and write was 4ish MB/s. I partitioned using ROM manager

Ianother hit for Rom manager. Gparted aligns when partitioning too

Is it a paid app? Can only find Sdcard tester

Was a free app - recently discontinued and a paid replacement added

Bah. I wouldn't mind paying so much, but the overseas transaction fee I pay doubles the cost

 

[bigt]

Will it harm my SD card to carry on running with misaligned partitions?

I paid for the SD card tester app, used it then got a refund

 

[Rastaman-FB]

it wont cause any harm no, it will just be slow as its not optimised
tbh most people have it like this as most people use rom manager to format.
even i did, its a pain in the arse

Has Leeds moved? Is it now in the Indian Ocean next to East Anglia?

How do you end up paying charges? If its not a personal question?

No idea. On my bank statement I had 1.25 overseas transaction fee after my last 2 purchases

i have the same Dan, only

Be interesting to see if its all transacttions.

The last 2 were EA games. Clearly a US company, but everything in the market is either dollars or Euro's, so it wouldnt surprise me.

 

[shauny13]

it's only when things are in dollars i get charged.

I used GParted the other day to make my EX3 partion and I just ran the SD card peed test(I have the free version from before) and it says:

Write speed is 6.0MB/s
Reading speed is 10MB/s

8GB class 6 card.

What class card have you got?

 

[bigt]

What class card have you got?

Class 4

i have the old decommissioned one still installed if anyone wants it

I had a gawp at my statements and I don't get charged that. Mind you I don't live overseas!

[InfernalByte]

oooooooooooooooooooooooh

 

[Rastaman-FB]

bigT is correct

 

[SUroot]

I have just bought an 8Gb class 6 for £12 that'll arrive next week. What is it if your serious?

Bah
