You've seen this card do 80 mb/s ! ? I try in vainly to wait for "the truth to ring" when I hear it; But what I have heard one to many times, is that this card slows down !, when increasing the number of cf's from two to four ? And the only sumwhat lagit. test I've found claims 40 mb/s ! A single CF (233mb/s) or better will do that. The only word you have to know is "DMA" And thats because there are well over a thousand CF to IDE adaptors, for a dollar,on EBay, that are not ! They max at 20mb/s. DMA and UDMA are your clues to a CF to IDE adaptor to do the job. But don't assume!; that is, that a $24 name brand adaptor with "those words" will cut the mustard. In fact I have had no responce from "Addonics" and a $3 CF to IDE DNA - UDMA from China, has been benchmarked by the Hong Kong supplier and a users who says it listed (in Linux) as UDMA 4 and exceeded 40mb/s with a "Scandisk Extreme 4" The CF to SATA are poping up at 50mb/s benches (faster CF though) and these may break the bank at $5 to $8 (China) The final point is that a "no card needed" USB flash will max out about 33mb/s (with 233x - 266x memory) So a $50 card and two or four high speed CF's!?!. LUCIE GOT SOME SPLAIN'IN TO DO ! Thanks Terry Hold on there DEXX; Lets not put the cart before the horse. You’ve seen this card do 80 mb/s ! ?
