They'll buffer and flush internally, causing performance hiccups like that. Do you get different performance characteristics on other OSes or does it behave the same? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On a SCSI level your device pretends to have a sector size of 512bytes. This is most likely a lie. Writing small amounts of data is very inefficient on an SSD.

It is possible that XP doesn't generate an optimal partitioning. Please attach the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sdX" (X to be replaced with the letter of your device) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
