Yup!

For my CF cards I use a SanDisk FW800 reader. For SD cards I use the 
built in reader on my iMac.
My MBP 17'' does not have a built in SD card reader, depending on my 
situation, I use either my PCI Express adaptor with CF slot, or  FW800 
reader and for SD cards I have my handy Elago USB reader.

Away from home base I use a Colorspace UDMA for initial in the field 
back up. When I get to a more secure location I download to my MBP and 
make a third backup to an OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro FW800 1TB HDD. That 
gives me a triple redundant back up, before thinking of reformatting 
cards.
If the location is good and I have a solid internet connection, Wi-Fi 
or other, I will also back important shots to one of the cloud services 
I use.
