Very slow write on flash drive in sync mode???

Hi,

I use SanDisk cruzer Titanium 2 GB mounted as sync in fstab

usb 4-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

When I use flash drive in sync mode, it writes on it only 64kB/s. When I 
umount it and mount it in not sync mode but do sync manually after it writes 
into memory, kernel writes on flash drive 11 MB/s!!! What is wrong in my 
configuration?

Kernel 2.6.18, Debian testing

Thanks for help
