Card reader recommendations

[Peter10d]

Looking for any suggestions for a decent card reader that covers CF and SD.
The current one I have was fairly cheap and the connection pins for CF are not great.

I use Lexar readers. They do ones that will read both CF and SD cards. OK not the cheapest but possibly the safest

Another one for Lexar. Used it for ages with no problem.

I only had to change mine as it was old and did not support big cards

Lexar here as well. Got mine from 7dayshop. Lexar UDMA CF & SD Card reader, USB 2 version.

Anothe fan of the Lexar Pro Card Reader, it's also available now in a USB 3 version.

Looks like Lexar wins then.
Thanks for the replies.

I'd run through this first - it's basically the ultimate guide to card readers:

Yep I have the Lexar Pro card reader. Paid about £20 on Amazon for the USB 3.0 version against £39.99 at WEX.

Faultless performance so far!

I've a Sandisk multi card reader and am very happy with it. I've also a Belkin CF reader which is great and also works with an iPad
