It is a PNY C6 16G SDHC card.
It is formatted as FAT32 in Windows XP.
I try to copy 12000 files into it.
The first 50000 is normal but after that the speed comes to really slow. About 120K/s write. I tried both Window xp and OSX same result.
All of files are PNG file at 100kb each.

The only thing I can assume is FAT32 has some performance problem at big amount of small files.

Does anyone has this kind of problem? Does DR1000s support other filesystem other than FAT32?

Thanks
