I ran SKtools benchmark and my class 6 8gb card was only doing 110KBs write and 1120KBs Read :eek: Pitiful huh? (was wondering why I was only getting 90KBsec Dl speeds on wireless).

I tried the SD Tuneup.cab made for the tytn devices and my SD card dissappeared :( that sucks but ohwell. Uninstalled and it is back again.

Next on the list, take the cab apart and look to see what registry changes it was making. Try them seperately.

Sofar I have found that "HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS">
CacheSize" value="4096" more than doubled both my read and write speeds. The cache was initally set to 0. Now I get 210KBs write and 2491KBs read. Thought I would share that little tidbit with anyone who has a slow as christmas SD card.
Also though, does anyone know which settings I should be farting around with so I don't have to trial and error all day? I can sort of guesstimate what a lot of them do from their names but some of them leave me :confused: .

*edit*
8192 cache setting = 242KBs write 4693.83KBs read after fresh reboot (all previous scores also from fresh reboot).

Repeating the benchmark seems to bring write speeds up to 6000KBs - 6700KBs. Unsure what is up with that.
