Summary: Problems?
Comment: 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?

Summary: Great speed
Comment: 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.

Summary: Unusable
Comment: 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.

Summary: This bad boy is SUPER FAST
Comment: 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.
