Unfortunately, Sony licenses XQD (yet another reason to dislike Sony... they didn't learn from the Memory Stick) making it an expensive option. CFE will be unencumbered by licensing crapola. (All as I understand it...I could be mistaken.)
XQD and CFE are PCI devices. Which means they are capable of running as fast as the hardware will allow, and as fast as the memory in the device can read/write data. They are not limited by the slow speeds of USB or SATA or any other bus type. PCI buses keep getting developed, and keep getting faster.
The wikipedia article on CFE mentions PCI speeds. Suffice to say that it's far faster than any device can produce at this time.
One great thing about PCI-attached storage is that there's no need for buffering. Therefore, no limit to how many shots you can take in a burst. Well, until the card fills up.
