With 8gb and 16gb Compact Flash memory cards becoming the new standards what are people using for faster card readers? What is the best bang for buck? I have been using a ThunderBolt USB2 reader for a while now and I am feeling like getting a new one. The ThunderBolt still works great but I want a new one. How much faster will data move from the card to my drive over firewire4/800 in comparison to USB2? Has anyone had a firewire reader stop working?
When traveling I bought a backup reader at a camera store (Digital Concepts) and those are terrible. They will work for about 3 transfers and then die.
Has anyone had errors/corruption with 16gb CF cards?

Re: Compact Flash Memory Card Readers, is firewire worth it?

Delkin's Express card reader which I don't own is suppose to be fast, so is Lexar Pro card readers, but I am not sur which one is faster. For Delkin's you need to have the slot built into the computer to make it work.
My Lexar card reader older version made in 2004 stopped working, and it has been recently returned to the factory for repair. Older card reader's don't read my current Lexar Pro Compact Flash card which is 300xs.
I am currently using this:

sometimes if the cable is not seated properly the reader is not engaged, and it has to be jiggled a bit to work. -
