Tried Micro SD HC 4GB in a Kingston mini USB.
HDTach, etc measures it at 18MB/s, 1.0ms access, 17.1MB/s average.

With it plugged in, shutdown takes about 60 seconds.
Remove it and shutdown takes perhaps 5 seconds.

Is there a card that won't do this?

(I see nothing in Events)

(Vista is on Raptor, rest of system is on 2 Hitachi . All are SATA.

tia!!!!!!!
