looking for a new card reader ,i have capabilties for usb 3.0 card reader i use a sdhc sandisk extreme 30mb/s should i get a Pretec P240 USB 3.0 card reader or try a new usb 2.0 or firwire type i already own a sandisk all in one but it does not support sdhc ,only sd also is thunderbolt going to be an option in the future.,

what happens if i upgrade to a a extreme pro 45mb/s .although this would be costly do i need that kind of performance ?does my gh2 have limitations as to which it can write/transfer to the card ?what sort of speeds will the lexar be able to transfer to my pc

Lexar Professional USB UDMA CF and SD Card Reader is this the one you recommend

well ive got a gh2 which has fairly large files in raw format and i normally shoot with added jpeg ,but its the video files that eat the most 25min to 30 min will fill 8gb , i either need a bigger card or some portable storage to boot ,dont like the idea of 75 quid for a firewire type ,card reader ,as i probably wont appreciate the benefits .i doubt ill fill the card with 8gb of photos in year but video most certainly .
