I'll be interested to hear what you think of it. I bought a new card reader a short while ago because my old one proved to be incompatible with 2G SD cards. I went through six of them before I settled on the Sandisk ImageMate 12-in-1 reader ... it achieves easily 2-3x the speed of most of the other USB 2.0 readers and is on par with the Lexar CF FireWire reader I've had for some time.
