This is too slow. Try a block size of 256k with dd, this is what I
use in bacula too. Or try different block sizes beginning by 64k to see
how the speed changes.
This are my SD settings.
Maximum File Size = 5G
Maximum Block Size = 262144
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144

This disk is too slow for spooling. Even with LTO4 you need a drive
that is capable of stream the data with > 150 MB/s. I use a raid10
with 6 WD VelociRaptor drives.
