I also found your mentioned Sonnet, how long to transfer a 16G full CF to MBP? IS it still on production now since I found some statement that this product is discontinued. Any heard about thunderbolt CF reader ?If speed is your priority then you can use a Dual CF card cardbus adapter combined with a thunderbolt cardbus express/34 adapter. This I goes as fast as the cards can deliver.
I have the sonnet adapters/cards and also use the cardbus cf adapter with my 17in MBP too .
Otherwise, as mentioned a USB 3 UDMA reader such as from Lexmark works well enough but only at USB 2.
Sandisk FW800 discontinued & diffcult to found. Can it support UDMA 7 ?I find the Sandisk FW800 to give very good transfer rates. Unless your downloading large cards on multiple occasions during the day, the increase in speed to say USB3 I doubt would be hardly worthwhile.
I have this and the thunderbolt express/34 adapter:I also found your mentioned Sonnet, how long to transfer a 16G full CF to MBP? IS it still on production now since I found some statement that this product is discontinued. Any heard about thunderbolt CF reader ?
It is really bad for me that no PCI express on my MBP 13.I can really recommend the Caldigit USB 3.0 PCI express cardreader.
works like a charm (and really fast!) on my 2008 MBP17.

The difference to the old FW800 or even USB2.0 is dramatic.
some of the best spent 79 € ever.
