Anyone can recommend a good CF card reader?

supermengwei2 · 3rd October 2008

Hi Guys,

I just realised that it's pretty 'dangerous' for me to continue freelancing with my old CF card reader which threatens to come apart at any time. Since clients are involved, does anyone have or can recommend a good brand of CF card reader that will last? I'm guessing some branded type that always works...
Thanks!

Either the Sandisk Extreme readers or the Lexar UDMA readers. They're not expensive, at $40+ per reader.

price depends on the read/write speed of the reader and branding.

so far i have heard of reasonable performance from Epraizer which is surprising cheap.

Read somewhere that Sandisk Extreme is coming out with a new one. This one suppose to have a faster transfer rate, but it has only one slot for CF cards.
