Apshiso Senior Member 458 posts Joined Jan 2008 Location: Maine More info | I have the Sandisk multi-type reader thingy (can't remember the model or name) and it only worked for about 2000 reads (images) - like a couple months at most. Think about NOT using the word "retarded" in a derogatory manner - it insults those who cannot defend themselves - and hurts the ones who love them. Please see: http://www.r-word.org/

I've never seen an el-cheapo reader (even Sandisk) transferring at 30-40MB/s like my Firewire 800 Extreme IV does. It obviously does depend on your computer's chipset and the card in question. http://www.colorblindedphoto.com

Firewire is a different creature, and is limited to about 15 Mb/sec anyway which is why The el-cheapo works fine. Gear List * www.tranquilphotos.com
