I’m trying to use this SDHC as a ZFS cache on a Samsung laptop:

da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus3 target 0 lun 0

da0: <Multiple Card  Reader 1.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device

da0: Serial Number 058F63666438

da0: 40.000MB/s transfers

da0: 7667MB (15702016 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 977C)

da0: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE>

After some minutes of usage this error is displayed :

Trying to use the SDHC as a MS-DOS device I have receive the error:

I’m using:

I’ve tested the card in Mac OS X on a Mac mini and in Windows 8 on the same
laptop, without problems. I’ve only noted that the I/O speed is  much lower
on the Mac mini.
