4 out of 5 stars Problems?   September 29, 2008
K. Moureaux (Fillmore, CA)
In the past week I've had 2 separate cards not work when inserted into this reader. I've formatted the cards in camera and shot about 100 photos. I put in the reader and they are corrupted and I've lost all of the shots. I'm not sure if this is a CF card problem - I've used the cards again with the same reader and had no problem. It is intermittent. The only thing that I did yesterday was remove the CF card from the reader without ejecting it. I then put it in the camera and formatted 2x. Shot photos went to put back into reader and poof the shots are no good. Put the card back in the camera and they are no good there too.

Any ideas?



5 out of 5 stars Saves Time for Uploading   September 18, 2008
C. Gauntlett (New England)
Works as advertised and it saves you time in uploading large photos and video files.


5 out of 5 stars Great speed   September 16, 2008
JohnK (Connecticut USA)
Excellent product. Works as advertised. I bought it to download images from my CF card from my Nikon D300. I get a download speed of about 30MB/sec when directly downloading to the computer. That's about 2 15MB .nef files per second. I had a USB 1 CF reader before and could go out and get a coffee, come back and it would still be downloading. Now I stay at my computer. This item is sort of expensive but was money well spent.


5 out of 5 stars This bad boy is SUPER FAST   August 24, 2008
Professor Bubba
I installed this on my Mac and PC and boy is this mutha fast. Im getting 1 gigabyte per minute with my SanDisk 8 meg Secure III CF Card. Its as fast as I expected , works flawlessly and is super small. Great quality that I've come to expect from SanDisk. oH YEAH , Dont get the USB card reader if you want Super Speed, get this one instead. 5 stars fo sho.
