When copying files to my SD card I notice that my laptop is completely unresponsive. I can't operate a browser, open files, browse files, nothing. My laptop is literally a clipshow when this is going on. I first noticed this when copying a large amount of music to my SD card that I use for my phone. On my wife's computer, she also runs Arch, and has the same issue, so I figured I should look into this. Is there something I should have configured to make SD Card transfers not stop me from using my computer?

try different scheduler
echo deadline > /sys/block/sd?/queue/scheduler
if it does not work you can get it back as it was anytime with
echo cfq > /sys/block/sd?/queue/scheduler
note: must be root to do so

I think it may be the usual high i/o = poor responsiveness / slow copying
slow I/O to USB

Thanks, I think that did it! Are there any side effects from doing that?

Yes, overal transfer speed may decrease. But if it works, ain't fix it
