Introduction

I would like to thank Lexar for supplying the review sample.

Lexar's storage solutions have an immensely good reputation among enthusiasts, so the expectations for their newest SDHC card solutions are very high. The company has turned some heads with their "Professional" series of memory cards. These are aimed at people in need for the best quality and fastest performance possible. The series includes UDMA CompactFlash cards as well as the Lexar Professional CompactFlash Reader with FireWire 800 interface. This card reader is on our test bench today.
