USB 3.0 Card Reader
 

For a while I'd been toying with idea of upgrading my PC with a new USB 3.0 interface card and a Lexar USB 3.0 compact flash card reader.

Well the temptation became too much and I bit the bullet and ordered the parts.

All fitted and working.

Results are 42 Raw files 1Gb downloaded from a x300 compact flash card in approx 20 seconds. Well worth the investment.
