Best downloader I've had [Posted on 2008-07-03]
I got one of these are I now shoot 8gb cards, and want to download them as quick as possible. This is the quickest I've used yet, and the cards slide in and out of it very positivly. I've had other brands where the pins bent, but this is much better built. Also, it's tidy and small for travelling.
OK so far [Posted on 2008-07-20]
After reading reviews about it failing to read cards after a while, and having experienced that with other card readers, I was a bit hesitant but really needed a reader with a decent cable length. In the month or so I've been using it, it has failed to immediately sense an SD card a few times, but I believe in all cases it was really because the Mac had been sleeping and was not fully awake yet. I'd remove the card and reinsert it and all was well. I can't remember any failures with the compact flash slot. So I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt in awarding 5 stars. It seems faster than any other readers I've used.
So nice! [Posted on 2008-08-10]
It's nice to have a card reader that the card can be inserted and removed from so smothly without fear of ruining the pins and/or card sockets.
And this thing is blazing fast! With my Extreme III cards, I can transfer an entire card's worth of photos to my PC very quickly!
Nice to have fast CF and SD in one small package [Posted on 2008-08-14]
Very handy to have Compact Flash and SD in the same small unit, as these are the formats I've been most likely to encounter with DSLRs and other digital cameras. Not sure why SanDisk split these formats in their newer readers. So far, it's much faster than transferring pictures through the built-in USB port on a Canon Rebel XT and 20D. And it looks smaller in real life than it does in the product photograph where it appears more elongated -- it's about 2.5" square by .75" thick.
Lightning fast card reader! [Posted on 2008-11-07]
I've been using this in conjunction with a SanDisk Extreme III CF card, Extreme III SD card, and a Sony MS Pro Duo card, and all three transfer at lightning fast speeds with this reader. As the old adage goes, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I'm very happy with my purchase.
I should mention that my computer (with XP Pro OS) had some difficulties recognizing this reader when I first hooked it up, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. After some frustrating troubleshooting with the Device Manager and Disk Manager, I finally got it working, with one caveat: I have to unplug and replug the USB cable almost every time I want to read a card. Likely just a problem with my computer, but I thought I'd mention my troubles.
