Sandisk Extreme 64GB - Slower write speeds after system format

hey guys,

I’ve just bought a Sandisk Extreme 64 gb and wait for it… I’d like to format it to extFat, even before the first write/read. Reason: need/want larger files than just 4gb. So today I said to myself let’s a bit of reaseach and I was really afraid to find this thread and well here we are. I mainly bought this flash drive because its well promoted speed and don’t wanna lose this feature.

So for those who were able to recover original speeds (e.g with parted magic), have you guys formatted to fat32 or got the original speed with other formats?

Thanks,
