It's interesting to see just how permeant virtual memory has become in our every day lives. It seems like everytime I turn my head, I see something with a card slot or USB jack, lol. I guess it makes sense though, considering how cheap memory has become as of late...Gahhhh, I shouldn't be complaining. I can't make it through a day without my R4 / R4i!(Submitted from Nintendo DS running R4i SDHC cPost scPost)

I have recently purchased a Delkin Expresscard 34 CF reader and tried importing images into Lightroom 2.3. It crashed my Macbook Pro each time I tried it. To make matters worse it corrupted my LR catologue each time it crashed. Anyone else getting the same problem?

It is a great idea but useless for me if it crashes and corrupts the LR catoloque each time I want to import images into LR

I would love to be able to use this thing but they do not support Vista. Any idea when they might bring out a driver for Vista? I bought it not thinking that a hardware manufacturer would have a product not supporting the latest operating systems.

A picture of what it looks like in your laptop would have been helpful – I’m sure that’s something everyone wants to know: how much it sticks out.

I am having problems with the Express Card 34 and my MacBook Pro. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn’t. I’ll get a pop up that says “The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer” or the red light on the card reader will turn off and I have to try it 20 times until it works. I have tried with 3 or 4 of these expressCard34 adapters and 4 of us at my office are having the same problem on our macbook pros. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi Scott,

Whether its Lexar or Sandisk, try out the firewire400/800 readers. They should give you better performance over any USB reader and probably over the Delkin.

Although, I can’t argue the convenience over not carrying an annoying cable =)

Reason you’ve not managed more than 20Mb/sec is because you are using Lexar gear. Try Sandisk extreme readers and cards. You’ll get close to 40Mb/sec with the latest ones on Firewire.

I used to be a Lexar fan but they’ve fallen way behind in performance in last couple years.
