DevMenu installation is horribly slow. I heard BigRedMenu is faster.
Still, it should be faster than that. Are you sure your SD card is original?

Yeah, I'm a bit afraid that this is a fake one.

Maybe I should return it..

I'm formatting the card rn to fat32 with a speed of 23-24 MB/s, it will takr around 30 minutes. Is that normal?

That is bahavior of a fake card. I'd send it back if I were you. Real cards take mere seconds to format even 32GB and 64GB format under 30 seconds on a Windows PC. Sometimes it actually is worth paying full-price for a legit SD card. I never buy mine online, always Walmart. I can buy a 32GB card for around $24 flat. (I get a 10% employee discount, but it only takes off the tax).

Copying a 3.6 gb files to the sd card took around 2 minute with a speed of 27MB/s, this is using my laptop built-in card reader.

If this is fake I'm gonna complain tomorrow and see if I can get my money back.

BBB on O3DS is slow as hell, but that is too much perhaps.
It took around 10h for me to install 30GB of CIAs on a completely legit Samsung EVO Class 10 microSD with adapter.
This same card tops the USB2 speed on my laptop at around 30MB/s.
Anyway your card is topping the USB2 speed on your notebook too, it can't go faster because that bottleneck (and it is already going VERY fast).
I don't think your card is fake, but your O3DS is a slow PoS (like very O3DS).
Let it install and go watch some movie, party, and etc. Be used to the gatewaiting.

If I remember correctly, I installed the fantasy life cia (around 800-1gb iirc)

And it didn't take that long either..

BigBlueMenu is not slow in the slightest, I don't know where people are getting their info from. Ryo_kun format the card using sdformatter then run it through h2testw to ensure the card has no errors and is not fake.
I am getting my info from:

EDIT: Only that it wasn't Sandisk (hell I am becoming old)
