in theory the bottleneck is the card read speed.
I do not understand this last statement.
Sorry, was typing too fast.
What I mean is that the firewire bus is capable of THEORATICAL 400MB/s speed.
The USB2 bus is capable of THEORATICAL 480MB/s speed.
But at the end of the day, it does not matter if you're using FW, FW800, or USB2 since the storage device itself can only supply data at (rough guess) 40MB/s, and this is a fairly fast hard disk.
it's like the speed limit on the freeway 1 is 400 km/h, freeway 2 is 480 km/h, but it does not matter since your car max out at 120 km/h.
You and many other persons have shown that there is a big difference between
the CF readers. I know about the PCMCIA slot speed limitation but that is
why the FW readers are so fast since they bypass the slot and plug directly
into the laptop or desktop computer.

Yeah, anything than PCMCIA should be much faster. (just NOT USB 1)
