I got my Sonnet QIO Card Reader

[Kai-Uwe Bonnke] “A single card gets transfered at 23 MB/s., 22min., As soon as 2 Cards are transferring, it drops down to 10 MB/s., 42 min. “

42 minutes for 64Gigs of data?

That’s the same as what I got the other day when I posted writing to just the hard drive on the laptop.

Sounds to me like that’s the best the QIO will do, Still if it works it’s an improvement on what’s out there for the price, But for us poor cousins here downunder, the cost of the Qio compared to say a cheap windows laptop is a no brainer.
Still it will fit nice into many facilities because of the variant of cards it can read, and when/if P2 evolves into something else it will be all academic anyway.
