Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews) I recently purchased a Canon Vixia HF100 camcorder and knew the files would be HUGE, so I was looking for the fastest SD card download set up I could find.
I initially bought this Lexar Pro UDMA Dual-Slot Reader and a SanDisk 16GB Extreme III 30MB/s SDHC card hoping for at least 20MB/s performance from the SDHC Card.
Alas, this Lexar reader only gave me 18MB/s performance on this SDHC card, so I purchased the Sandisk SDDR199 to achieve 24MB/s for the SDHC card and I use this Lexar reader for our CF cards.
I like the Lexar reader a lot. I perceive it to be of better quality and I like that it protects the slots from my kids who have already bent the pins on another CF reader by jamming something into the inviting slot. I like the simplicity of having just two slots. The included usb cable is too short to reach my desk, however it is a standard cable so I just use the cable for the Sandisk (1 cable, two readers).
I am going throw away all the other card readers that have proven themselves to be highly unreliable, slow to respond and not worth their cheap price.
I would love to see someone make a firewire (or esata) SD/CF combo reader because I read that Firewire CF card readers are getting about 40 MB/s.
This still our primary card reader and it is used on average once a week and it has never disappointed us with reliability or speed. Our other CF readers failed to achieve this. We even use the SD slot more and more because when you walk away, it does not really matter if it is 18MB/s or 24MB/s.
