After many trials, I finally found a solution to the problem. It was to disable DMA and use PIO. However, I know that PIO is generally slower than DMA. Also, PIO does not have built in error correction. But the transferring rate for 20x buring is less than the lowest PIO burst speeds 3.33 MB/s.
My question is, does PIO affects the writing speed or not? Would PIO increase the chance of burning error significantly?
