I have seen a similar issue when transferring to micro SD cards,
transfer seems to plateau out at between 300-500kB/s. Especially
prevalent with large sustained transfers.
I assumed it was the flash cards because it didn't matter if I used
the laptops built in card reader or a usb trans-flash adapter, Now I'm
starting to think it's an inherent problem with flash memory
alltogether.
