Just disable all benchmarks except for Disk Test, and set the volume to your SD card. I just ran it on my iMac i7 with a Transcend 32GB SD Class 6 card and got the following results: Disk Test 1.51 Sequential 19.91 Uncached Write 17.45 10.71 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 16.48 9.32 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 17.68 5.18 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 37.93 19.06 MB/sec [256K blocks]Random 0.79 Uncached Write 0.21 0.02 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Write 3.48 1.12 MB/sec [256K blocks] Uncached Read 671.88 4.76 MB/sec [4K blocks] Uncached Read 102.40 19.00 MB/sec [256K blocks]
