Hi,

Please welcome me to the family with MBP 13", just bought it last night at machines klcc. Everything was well except one.

Now, i find the transfer rate from my sandisk usb extreme card reader to the mbp was extremely slow. I checked in the system and it register both the card and the card reader as capable of read/write at 480mbps.

for the time being i'm using iphoto to import and for a 13GB raw photo, it took almost 20 mins to finish importing.

everyone, this cannot be the correct transfer rate! please share your feedback. TQ!

Hi

I think i forgot to mention one important factor which is it took 20 mins importing these files using iphoto09.

I did try copying direct from the card to the HD and for 8GB it took <6mins. Still slow compared to your rate.
