He has been sitting on it for nearly two weeks. Actually i think the issues is w/ his wife. :p: I am about ready call UPS myself (and take the HUGE hit for brokerage fees, likely a few hundred $$$) and get UPS to pick up the card directly from their house.

Ohhh nooooo, poor IOxtreme is in between a divorce battle! "I'll take the dog!"; "No you wont"; "O.K. fine I'll take the Fusion IO then!". ;)

You should consider USPS.com too they have pick up service now and you can always use one of those Priority Mail International Small Flat-Rate Box for US$ 10.

Way cheaper then UPS.

In my experience....do NOT use USPS to get stuff across the border to Canada. bad bad bad bad bad. Takes over a week for no apparent reason.

Interesting. Didn't know they had a pick up. Maybe I'll do this.

I have no problem w/ USPS. And I've done my share of over the border purchasing. UPS & FedEx rape you when it comes to their brokerage fees.

Oh, I've got my own broker so I wouldn't know about that. USPS has always been incredibly slow for me.

This is not true in most cases.

USPS has better prices then any other carrier and the pick-up service for US$15 is a steal.

I've used them to send stuff to Australia, Brazil, Germany, Holland, Uruguay, England, Mexico, Canada and never had problems. The delay on delivery happens not because of USPS but because of the Countries customs policies and posts.

Big Countries like Canada and Brazil usually have 3 or 4 Customs entry posts to filter all the incoming mail and USPS guarantees the Airmail delivery from USA to this station. After that they will take ground route to the final destination because they wanna save money. So if you live next to or near a customs entry post your in luck and that mail will arrive in 6 days max, if not it will take more time, depending in your own official post office (Correios/Royal Mail/Canad Post/Deutsche Post etc).

All of that is applied to Priority Mail, Express Mail is guaranteed to be Airmail all the way to the final destination.

The Canada Post driver for my area is this incredibly obese woman that only comes every 2-3 days regardless of how much mail/stuff there is for us. Perhaps that is part of the reason. I have never, ever had anything delivered to me in under one week using USPS.

But the IOps are too high for a consumer-SSD.

Hm, to slow @ 4k.
I got ~ 190MB/s. @ 4k

I would like to see a long bench (minimum 10min.) with IOmeter.
Then we see the real seq. perf.

It's also possible that lowfat already has the card, but is holding on us.
You know guys it is better to work on the benches in peace and without any pressure! :D:D

Can't believe nobody else got it and posted some new benches anywhere on the web... the sales must be dreadfully slow, since we see nobody bragging about it :)
