 Fast. Reliable. Need I say more? February 13, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The reviews said this is the second fastest CF reader on the market, and even though I'm a stickler for speed, I purchased this one. Why? This one is happy to use the USB connector on my laptop.
The faster one is SanDisk's Firewire-based reader. The Firewire-based reader requires the larger 6-pin firewire cable because the reader needs to draw its power from the computer. The smaller 4-pin Firewire connector found on laptops isn't sufficient to power the Firewire reader. So, if I wanted that fast reader, and I wanted to use it on my laptop, I would have to buy a PCMCIA Firewire card for my laptop in addition to the CF card reader. And I'd have to carry that PCMCIA card around, not lose it, break it, etc. More hassle than I was willing to deal with.
This USB-based CF reader is sufficiently fast for me. With a full 8GB SanDisk Extreme III card, I was able to copy off all the files in about 5 minutes. For my uses, that'll do nicely.
Small, fast, and reliable February 8, 2008

I used to have a CF card reader that slid into a PCMCIA slot on a Powerbook but I had to look for a new solution after i bought my MacBook Pro which has a smaller express slot instead. This is exactly what i was looking for. it doesn't support ALL types of memory cards know to mankind and i really don't need it to. for that reason, it comes in a small package that is easy to pack away in my bag. When importing RAW images, it performs much better than connecting directly to the camera (not to mention saving battery life of the camera). It also accommodates SD cards for my smaller p&s camera. simple, fast, and reliable. I haven't had any trouble with it. i recommend it.
 Does it read SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)? February 1, 2008

It doesn't say whether it reads SDHC (Secure Disk High Capacity)? Better to be safe: buy one that is ready for SDHC.

This is a great product the only thing that disappointed me was the fact that my PRINTER already has a card reader. God I'm so stupid. I bought it because my macbook didn't have a card reader and all along my PRINTER has a card reader. Practically every printer now has a card reader.
I thought the grip on the bottom of the reader wasn't enough to hold and stay on my desk and the reader kept ending up in the back and sometimes falling.
Easy, plug and Go. No disk. Nothing just plug and it works right away. Works on Macbook, Macbook Pro, Mac, etc. and of course on PC.
Lightning fast . . . January 28, 2008

If you have a digital camera and shoot in the RAW format, you will most likely be dealing with some huge files. My old card reader was taking an eternity to transfer data, so after checking the reviews I got this one.
There are good reasons why this product is so highly rated. The performance is amazing, lightning fast, just as advertised. Downloading a filled 4GB CF card which used to take about an hour, now takes less than five minutes. Besides compact flash, there is also a slot for SD cards.
A high speed reader like this is a real time saver at the start of the workflow process, and well worth the modest price.
