I shot some jazz musicians last night. I was interested in the download times from my CF cards to my Mac harddrive using a Kingston USB 2.0 card reader.

I filled my adata Speedy 16 GB CF card with 12.29 GB/67 min of HDV.

The transfer time was 17 min. I think this is pretty good!

The cards were $49 at Canadacomputers.com. they seem to work perfectly and are cheap!

cheers
