1 Preparations
get this http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/prng.c and build it with "-O3"
copy 16 bytes from /dev/random into a file e.g. sd001.seed:
dd if=/dev/random of=sd.001.seedbs=16byte count=1
2 Benchmark Write Speed
run
./prng sd001.seed | dd of=/dev/sdXX bs=128k iflag=fullblock oflag=direct status=progress
where /dev/sdXX is the device for the SD card
this should run for a while an write pseudo random data to the sd card
any errors there are a general problem except for when the sd card is full
once you know the number of blocks for the specific sd card
you want to add count=xxx to avoid overrun
3 Benchmark Read Speed
read speed: dd if=/dev/sdXX bs=128k iflag=direct count=xxx status=progress | md5sum this will give a read performance and calculate a checksum the checksum can then be verified with: ./prng sd001.seed | dd bs=128k count=xxx | md5sum if the checksums do not match, the sd card is not keeping the data written
