was it this?



for those with windows 2000 or XP, flash memory toolkit (freeware)

www.flashmemorytoolkit.com

The Info function shows various interesting information such as detailed
device capacity, file system, operating system and USB configuration.

Error Scan
A fast but reliable function to check the integrity of the device by
performing a read or write surface scan.


Eraser
The memory device can be completely erased (wiped) or it can be erased
quickly.


File Recovery
Quickly and effectively recover files which were lost after a format,
hardware failure or an accidental deletion. Many file types are supported.

Backup/restore
In only a few minutes you can make a full backup of your memory device.


Low-level benchmark
Measure the read and write performance. (x speed)


File benchmark
Measure how long it will take to read or write files of various lengths to
the device.




I got some interesting results:
the read and write figures are for writing and reading (the 1Mb file the
program drops on your card)



No-name chinese brand SD card 2Gb
130x - write 8807 kb/s, read 17121 kb/s

5400 2.5" laptop HDD ina Vosonic X-Drive Pro
199x - write 4321 kb/s, read 4142 kb/s

Kingmax USB stick (the teeny ones)
117x - write :1444 kb/s read 16240 kb/s

Sandisk 4Gb UltraII CF card
78x - write: 6475 kb/s read 11178 kb/s

Sandisk microSD card (for a phone)
71x - write: 4438 kb/s read 10228 kb/s

Nikon (old!) 8Mb CF (EC-8CF card)
11x speed, - write :333 kb/s , read 1700 kb/s

persevering - some take effing *ages* though :/
