The Addonics Pocket DigiDrive eSATA/USB 2.0 carries a a hefty price premium when compared to traditional USB 2.0 card readers. But even so, it manages to be more affordable than the Lexar Firewire 800 CF reader. As I have mentioned before in the review, Addonics has managed to combine both attributes - flexibiltiy and speed - into a well performing package. There are very few card readers out there, that utilize faster interfaces than USB 2.0 and if you are looking for such a device, the Pocket DigiDrive eSATA is a solid and good investment - just make sure you have a hot-swap capable SATA port to reap the benefits of easy switching between flash media cards.
