Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sandisk Extreme FireWire Reader
Customer Review: It is faster!
Summary: 3 Stars
Sandisk now makes their Extreme 60MB/s and Extreme Pro 90MB/s compact flash cards.
Important Update 2-19-10
I have completely rewritten this review, because the previous review where I said speeds were slower than they should be was wrong.
I was only able to read at the specified speed of 40MB/s and Sandisk confirmed that this was the maximum for this reader even with the faster card. This is wrong!
I talked to Rob Galbraith who's article claimed he got high number speeds from this reader and the Extreme 60MB/s cards.
With his help, I was able to determine why I was not getting those speeds. It seems that on my Mac Pro the Firewire 400 and 800 Port is on the same bus. So if there is something plugged into a Firewire 400 port, the Firewire 800 port dumbs down to Firewire 800 speeds.
I unplugged my Firewire device and low and behold I got an average of 55MB/s with a top speed of 58MB/s.
If I could, I might have considered raising the rating. But since after contacting Sandisk 3 times and three different people there all said this reader cannot go faster then 40MB/s, I think I will just let it go.
Though, maybe I should tell Sandisk?
