Do you mean something like seek error, i.e. error in hardware, or how to call
this? This is brand new minisd card, it is possible to be waster, but it's
rather something bad in the software (writing by the device itself is perfomed
and data are ok). The error occurs accurately every 8 sectors...

Could you post me a copy, please?
