40D cf card transfer question

Can the 40D transfer to CF card rate go above 15 GB/sec?
Thinking of adding more cards to my collection. Ultra II or Extreme III?

http://www.robgalbrait​h.com/ may help you there.

There's a lot of CF speed tests there.

i got a ultraII and it works great, depends on how much u use ur full FPS

Think I will wait. Was going for the ultra II 2gb for $12.99 at buy.com. I like the extreme III 4gber's.

all cards max out around 13mb/s except for on a 1dsmkiii with a UDMA compatible card. ultra II 2008 editions are 15mb/s max write, so you'll likely max out the camera with that. however, with a 10 dollar difference between a ultra II and extreme III, and a rebate on extreme III cards (40 for 8gb, 100 if you buy two of them), it's actually cheaper to get extreme III cards... and cf to cf reader speeds are 30mb/s rather than 15

Doesn't sound right, 1 for $40, 2 for $100?

Make sure your computer has USB 2.0 plug some of them have a mixed, or if you use a USB hub, most of them are still 1.0. That would limit your transfer speed.

That's the rebate. Buy 2, get more back. Buy 3, get still more back. Not pay $40 for 1 or $100 for 2.
