What computer, what camera? It's entirely possible that the CF/SD slots are configured as USB2 which would be the bottleneck.
I have a ASUS i7 2T hard drive 16 gig ram 6 USB 2.0 ports and 4 USB3.0 ports win8 (wish i had my win7 back i sold to my wife's company). Camera is D800 which I plug into USB 3 port. Today was the first time I put CF and SD cards into the computer card slots. Well looks like I will stick to from camera to computer. I will check on the slots to see what they are.
I use the USB port on the D800e because it's USB3 and damned quick, but on the D4 I take the cards out and put them in the readers which happen to be USB3. Why Nikon in their wisdom made the D4 USB2 defeats me. I guess they expect everyone to either remove the cards or download them via the network port.
