 Faaast January 6, 2009

bought this item last month and have used it a handful of times to download photos from a Sandisk 4GB Extreme III card and it works flawless and fast. It downloads a full 4GB card in little more than a minute. No problems whatsoever thus far. A very good product at a reasonable price.
Problems? September 29, 2008

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?

Works as advertised and it saves you time in uploading large photos and video files.
Great speed September 16, 2008

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.
 Unusable September 12, 2008

SanDisk should make it clear that you can't actually *use* it, in many cases. This is unusable because most laptops supply only the 4-pin firewire connector. Furthermore, if you happen to lose or damage the supplied cable, you're hosed. It's a proprietary cable on the reader end of the cable. And from what I can tell, Sandisk doesn't sell the cable separately. So they've done their best to make your life difficult.
I would recommend instead what I got... the Delkin PCI-Express CF Card adapter. It's even faster, cheaper, and doesn't require an oddball connector that won't fit on most computers.
