Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
So your speeds look rather typical to me for a USB 2.0 device with a typical less-than-stellar caching implementation.
Just to be pedantic, they're using an iPod 5.5, which has a regular parallel ATA interface that (IIRC) maxes out at UDMA66 burst speeds. Then there's the iFlash PATA/CF<->SD adapter which is its own bottleneck (and I don't think goes over UDMA/33). Yeah, those transfer speeds actually better than I'd have expected to see.
I'm only making a wild guess, but maybe there's a bad sector on one of the cards? And perhaps the error only comes up when the device tries to write something to that particular part of that particular card? (It's unknown to me how the iflash decides which card to write things to, but maybe much of the time it's not picking that particular sector of that particular card?)Or, the other thought I have, is that large negative error number feels vaguely familiar, I'm sure I've encountered that, but can't remember when or how I got round it. Edit, funnily-enough just had exactly that error, in rebuilding an ipod, and the issue seemed to be that the cable had come out of the iflash connector while closing the case. Maybe you have the error intermittently because that connection is flaky? Try cleaning or replacing the drive cable, maybe? Sometimes it helps to secure it in place with insulating tape.
Yeah, all I can think of is to check each card - individually via a card-reader (not checking them while they are in the ipod, not sure that works - I think the ipod doesn't present the storage in a direct way to the PC, not that I really understand what goes on there, especially with an iflash). Are the cards all the same brand/type? Changing the order of them might help, but best to first establish if any are actually faulty.[of course, checking them each for faults is an unbearably time-consuming and tedious process, but if the drive cable isn't the problem I don't have any other ideas...I really would have suspected the connection 'twixt the drive cable and the iFlash, though, pretty sure that's what's been the issue when I had that error.]
Hi,First-time poster, Long time lurker I have read so many posts and encountered so much contradictive information I am lost.I have a 7 gen classic (MC293LL) with a mSata flash (zif ide -> msata & msata -> sd )mod that after many trials and errors understood it does not work, I get error -2147483605 on boot. I gave up on that adapter.Now I want to buy the iFlash SOLO I read this thread and others but could not find recent evidence this combo works.Is there anyone here with a 7th gen (160gb) and iFlash solo that managed to load rockbox?Thanks in advance.
