Looking for a card reader...and undertook a search first which led me to an old thread
Question time:
Does firewire (and yes computer is compatible) really have advantages in transfer rate over USB?
Was looking at the Lexar version from Cheap Chips as the Scandisk one is difficult to source for a reasonable price. And always used Scandisk so going Lexar is like treading into new territory.
Any experiences to report?
I bought a cheapie off Ebay and it works fine, although as people say - a bit slow. I leave it plugged into the computer and just put my CF card in when I want to transfer photos.
I Use a SanDisk All-in-One CF SD MMC USB Card Reader Extreme IV and its very fast indeed, I also use fast cards which helps.
Connected to my netbook when travelling it was very handy I could download a full 4gb card in no time on it.

I have just bought a Lexar Pro UDMA reader to go with a Lexar Professional 233X 8Gb UDMA card.The thing is that the computer doesnt recognize the card only shows removable disk E and F.I had a live agent online from Lexar but nothing.How do a format the card to the computer?I have Win XP pro.
Never thought I would have to format a card to a computer

Interesting... I received mine last week and while the computer iMac registers the card, the light never goes off so I cannot remove the card unless I unhook from computer so suspect something not right also. I'm using Scandisk extreme cards.
While I had the CF card in the reader I inserted a SDHC into the SD section of the dual reader and no problem or issues,while the CF continues to be not read at all as if its not in the reader at all
cheers
Mine is the Firewire version. i can read the card fine - it's the fact that the light never goes out even once I've ejected the drive.
Wouldn't have thought you'd need to format any card, CF or SDHC. IF CF works fine then sounds like SDHC slot is faulty? Obvious question - the card is inserted correctly?
I just bought a card reader on Ebay for 22 cents posted. I hope it works I dont want to have to send it back.
I know that previously never had to format card to computer always was format card to camera and away you go.But this is driving me bonkers.Anyone has a solution to this?

Looks like Lexar may have some issues with the units
I had the same problem with mine Cupic, and my daughter typed in the name of the card on google and downloaded the programme. It still didn't read the CF card and I thought I would try it with a SD card, which it read. After this the CF card began reading and I haven't had any problems with it since. Not sure why it suddenly began reading the CF card though.
I have the lexar UDMA reader now (had it for a few months), and have never had an issue with it. Might be just a faulty batch, by the sounds of it

Been considering a Lexar 800 firewire reader for awhile now but just cant justify the $100+ part that comes along with it. I ended up taking a chance and buying a ebay Generic UDMA reader.
Will test it out and post the results here
