Friends,

Care to share your results?

You may want to use the tools attached.

First Attachment: F3 version 1.1.3 (Fight Flash Fraud) for Linux users. Please follow the instructions here: http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/. I'm posting the instructions for compiling just to be sure:

Code:

$ unzip f3v1_1_3.zip
$ gcc -of3write f3write.c
$ gcc -of3read f3read.c

To use the application (this is all command-line only, no GUI), see below. Make sure that you are in the directory where you "unzipped" or installed F3!

For Write Test:

Code:

./f3write /media/(name of storage device)

For Read Test:

Code:

./f3read /media/(name of storage device)

Second Attachment: h2test2 version 1.4 for Microsoft users. Just unzip the file to your directory of choice and run the program; no installation needed.

NOTES:

1.(I had to add this based on epithaph's comment): benchmarking tools will fill up your storage device when doing a "write" test; it is intentional because these files will be needed when you run the "read" test. You can delete those files later after you finish your benchmarking.

2. when we say "name of storage device", it means you have type the label of the storage device. For example, you labeled your MicroSD as "boomboom"...then when you run the command for F3 (the Linux-based benchmarking program), this is how it should be typed:

For the write test

Code:

./f3write /media/boomboom

For the read test

Code:

./f3read /media/boomboom

For the Microsoft-based program, no need to worry about commands since it's GUI-based.
