HI,
As my laptop doesnt have a cf slot i was wondering which reader is the best to buy . I could just get a cheapo £3 off ebay but id rather have a recommendation for a good fast transfer usb2 reader.
Anyone any advice / links to good buys please

Has your laptop got a firewire port? if so i would say get the sandisk extreme firewire reader, its not cheap, but its unbelievably fast.
 
yes i have a firewire port . Im looking at the Lexar Professional UDMA Dual-Slot USB Reader as i could use it on any laptop and im concerned if i need to use another laptop it may not have firewire. Does anyone use one of the Lexar ones that can comment ?
 
I've one of the Sandisk readers (have Sandisk Cards) and am very pleased with it. Personally, I wouldn't buy cheapo one - the Sandisk was under £20.
 
Dane-elec usb2 multicard`reader from Amazon. Works with everything!!
 
Can highly recommend the Lexar Professional UDMA CF/SD USB2 reader - mega quick (with the right cards) and around £20-25 delivered (eBay/Warehouse Express etc.)
 
well ive gone with the lexaR one £15.99 from 7dayshop so ill let you know how it is when it comes.
 
I wouldn't worry too much.. I'm using a no-name multi-format card reader I got from PC World. I can download a couple of gb in a minute or two, which is plenty fast enough for me. If you want a faster transfer rate, you need to be looking at FireWire.

recently bought an ASDA special, multi card reader (works with sdhc too) cost a whole £5, :thumbs:
 
do you have an expresscard port, the adaptors are firewire speed but closer to usb in cost and internal which rocks.

clicky I use the bottom one, whether you get the bottom one or one above depends on the port on the lappy
