I just discovered that the card in Arch ARM RPi is capped at 6MB/s read speed even though through USB interface, it gets 15MB/s. I found a thread on RPi forum http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... =63&t=5057
which indicates that there was limitation of clock frequency on this interface and to fix it, some patch was introduced into Raspbian kernel.
But why is it not working on Arch 3 years later?
