line buffering.

cat and similar tools use line buffering. They actually don't receive or 
print a line until they have either a newline character (0x0A) or 4k of 
data.

If you want every character to be stored, use dd. Note however that you 
should use a block size equal to the sector size of your flash storage 
otherwise you might generate a lot more writes than necessary.
