Ext4 is a bit faster on sequential writes here, which contradicts dd from above. But F2FS is a lot, a huge lot faster on random writes! I wonder how that is related to the iodepth I used. (Copied over from ssd-test fio example file.). According to fio it did use iodepth 4. I wonder about reasonable value for testing. This has just been some initial testing. I wonder about good tests that mimic typical use cases. What are the usecases? - SD cards: photos, music files for portable players. smartphones, pads with Android? - USB-Sticks: random files users puts there, live distributions like GRML and distro installers Unless lots of small files stored or Linux being booted, its more larger block size I/O it seems to me. Android likely deals with small files as well. (I do not use a smartphone yet.) While I use an USB stick to boot up Debian on my ASUS WL-500gP DSL router that may not be a wide-spread usecase.
