It is very much possible that the card itself does something internally
on every 63rd or 64th transfer. Such as wear leveling management on the
nand or perhaps some copy-on-write operations if the transfers are not
taking place in contiguous blocks.

As suggested above, you could try with another eMMC or SDCH card if it
makes a different (if possible).
