Recommend CF readers to daisy chain

[roc1]

I'm after a good CF reader that I can daisy chain together (3 or 4) to ingest cards into Photomechanic after a wedding, any recommendations?

I currently have a Lexar usb 3 reader but I don't think I can daisy chain these.

Thanks!

Look at the Lexar 'get to the pub' hub.

and fit it with whatever card readers you use either CF http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-lexar-pro-cfr1-workflow-cf-reader-usb-3-0/p1542404 or SD http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-lexar-pro-sr1-workflow-sd-reader-usb-3-0/p1542401. You can fit up to 4 readers in this hub.

I saw a demo given by Lexar with 4 cards in one of these hubs and an SSD drive, vs a standard USB3 card reader on a normal HDD. With the same images on each card, the Hub/SSD computer had downloaded 4 cards in less time than one on the single card reader/traditional hard drive.

You can't "daisy chain" USB, that's strictly a FireWire or thunderbolt feature.
