Without getting into the meat of your question, can you give me an idea of what is “very slow”?

I was doing some work with SD cards on n STM32F4 processor and the best I could get was about 475K/second. I tried everything, and after a week of mucking around with buffer sizes and optimizing the hell out of my code, I brought out my o-scope and figured out that the card (Class 10) was the bottleneck.

The speed ratings on SD cards means close to nothing. In this case it meant that you could READ at 10M/second, but writes were about 0.5M/second.

Switching from a Kingston (real, not counterfeit) to a store brand card more than doubled the throughput (4MB/sec write if memory serves me well).
