    Hi all,

    I have a Lenovo Y410 that I've been using since November 2007.
    I just did a fresh install of Vista and have installed all drivers successfully.

    I noticed that the 6 in 1 sd card reader (Ricoh) is really slow in transfering files.
    With the USB connection, a sd card is giving me around 20 MB/s.
    The same sd card is giving me only around 2 MB/s on the card reader.

    Is this normal?
    I faintly remember the card reader to be much faster.
    Can this be fixed any way, or is this a hardware limited problem?
    I believe I have the most up to date driver.

    Thanks in advance!
