Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
Thanks in advance...
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion
Most of them are USB 2.0 - which should cause no worries because the cards won't read or write at USB 3.0 speeds anyway. This one is good - and cheap.
Good luck,
Clinton
Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...

Here is one that OWC offers, made by sonnet tech:

All I know about it is that all parties involved are Mac-friendly.
Hi, Grant, your answer is helpful.
This looks promising. I will still have to contact the OWC Support to ask them about the compatibility, though.
