    Default CF card reader advice needed

    My Delkin ExpressCard 54 reader has failed or my laptop slot is not reading it, either way I need a reader! Any suggestions for a usb or firewire reader for windows vista/xp? I have a usb Ecard reader but ofcourse it's slower than the express 54. Thanks in advance for any help here!

    Dan,

    I'm using a sandisk extreme reader, but it's several years old. I am on the lookout for a usb3 reader (with back compatibility to usb2) as any future computers will likely have usb3. Last time I checked a few months ago, I didn't see any usb3 readers.

    Thanks Roger! After 30 looks here, I was beginning to wonder if anyone used card readers? I will look for a Sandisk reader!

    I like my Delkin FireWire 800 reader for my MBP: very fast! But I agree that USB 3 will be the way to go in the near future.
