what about a binary diff on those two written images.
i guess the difference should be at the beginning / end of the device.
just diff their hex value instead of a real binary diff.

hi list,
i was trying to find out among several microSD cards which one has the
fastest speed.
i searched the web and didn't see any efficient solutions.
are there conventional ways to test usb drive read / write speed? or

i'm currently using hdparm for reading speed test.
