USB 2.0 & My Powerbook

[jaw04005]

I have the Powerbook 12" Rev B, I'm assuming both ports on it are USB 2? I've been looking for a firewire compact flash card reader, and haven't been able to find a decent one. So I was thinking about purchasing a USB 2.0 one.. what is everyone thoughts? What type of USB 2.0 flash reader are you using on your powerbook? Recommendations?

I have had good luck with Zio readers in the past on my Powermac, but can't say I have used a reader recently as my camera is supported by iPhoto.

I have the Lexar FireWire CompactFlash reader, and I like it. It's quite fast.

I haven't bothered testing my USB 2.0 multi-card reader with my Mac's Sonnet aftermarket USB 2 ports, because the FireWire one works fine. My suspicion is that the read and write speed of the CF card will be the bottleneck, rather than the speed of either USB 2.0 or FireWire.

Cheers,
