Some storage benchmarks on SBCs

Since I've seen some really weird disk/IO benchmarks made on SBCs the last days and both a new SBC and a new SSD arrived in the meantime I thought let's give it a try with a slightly better test setup. I tested with 4 different SoC/SBC: NanoPi M3 with an octa-core S5P6818 Samsung/Nexell SoC, ODROID-C2 featuring a quad-core Amlogic S905, Orange Pi PC with a quad-core Allwinner H3 and an old Banana Pi Pro with a dual-core A20. The device considered the slowest (dual-core A20 with just 9

Thanks for the numbers. OPi ONE means H3 which means USB2.0 sequential transfer speeds bottlenecked by host implementation (~35MB/s with legacy, ~40MB/s with vanilla kernel if UASP can be used -- I haven't found any thumb drive so far supporting that). It should also be noted that benchmarks with just 10 MB file size might not tell the truth since many USB thumb drives are prone to throttling. They perform nice for 2-3 minutes and then drop down to laughable performance numbers (I've seen thumb
