yaosiang,

u will get better result if u use others Card Reader, pls note even though most of the reader rated as USB 2.0, but it's not really up to 480Mbit/s or 60MB/s, normally is about less then 10MB/s. some are about 4.5MB/s, 6MB/s, 8MB/s, 9MB/s.

i read some forums from taiwan, the fatest card reader currently only about 20MB/s, but as far as i know it's not available at local yet.

from my personal experience, or may be i'm not so lucky, i found most of the Apacer's memory card, flashdrive, and card reader not so good on speed, although all stated USB2.0.
