Suggestions for high speed transfer card readers for CF cards highly appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

P.S Not Transcend please :-) Losing a whole 4gb of images from a faulty CF card has made me lose my confidence in them!

What about the Lexar Dual card reader :shrug: I've one for my CF cards - I got it when I had a D300s (dual cards) so kept it for the CF card... Not had any probs with it - Cheapest I've found is at 7dayshop "7 dayshop Lexar dual card reader £17.49" can be handy as its a 2in 1 (also handy if any family members have a SD card as well as your CF card...)
 
I have a lexar udma dual card reader, it's pretty quick at transferring 16gb from a sandisk pro card, I'd have preferred a firewire 800 reader but they seemed to be rarer than hens teeth when I was looking.
 
Looks like the Lexar one is the one to get :) Thankyoooooooooo :D
 
I ahve an express card slot in my laptop.. with a cf reader in it.. makes the reader part of the laptop so I cant forget it.. and its very fast
 
Yep thats the chappie but mine has a Lexar PRO 400x 8GB CF card in it :$ :lol:
 
There is a firewire one just came up in the classifieds, would be great for a Mac :)
and for £15 its a steal.
