Hi Jan,
Sorry for the delay, I overlooked your reply....
If I use exactly the same commands / mount options as you I get less than
1MB/s....
I know that I cannot expect a "good" performance with the CF card, but 5MB/s
would just be fine :-)
What else can I try?
Greetings
Stefan

Yes, on the ARInfotek it actually is longer, stating the capabilities up
to
ata-5 (but I do not have one here now...)
My CF card also shows the capability of 'write cache'
- do you have it enabled?

Well?
>(I will compare with my output

See at bottom. It shows a throughput of about 5M/s. Anyway, if disk
speed is a concern for you, then you don't want to e using a CF card in
the first place ...
