Customer Review: John's Review Has All You Need To Know
Summary: 5 Stars
I read John Hillmer's review dated April 1, 2007 and it conviced me that this would be the best card reader for my boyfriend because it addressed all the things he complains about when uploading his photos. I gave it to him for Christmas and he loves it. He has a Rebel XTI and found this card reader to be much faster than even reading the images directly from the camera (which was previously much faster than using his old card reader). He likes its compact size which fits easily into his camera case, and the fact that it has a rubberized bottom so it does not slide around on the table when he is uploading images. Overall a great card reader, and a good value.Customer Review: Lightning fast . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a digital camera and shoot in the RAW format, you will most likely be dealing with some huge files. My old card reader was taking an eternity to transfer data, so after checking the reviews I got this one.
There are good reasons why this product is so highly rated. The performance is amazing, lightning fast, just as advertised. Downloading a filled 4GB CF card which used to take about an hour, now takes less than five minutes. Besides compact flash, there is also a slot for SD cards.
A high speed reader like this is a real time saver at the start of the workflow process, and well worth the modest price.
Customer Review: Very fast - super easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
It is definitely much faster than the camera's interface, and just as easy to use. Plug it in, when you insert a card the card shows up as a disk. When you eject the disk, just yank the card and pop the next one in.
Needs no drivers on my Mac (OS X 10.4.9 Intel), and I suspect being a generic USB disk device, probably doesn't need any drivers on any other platform either.
Absolutely worth getting once you start going to higher capacity cards or have lots of them to download. The time saved more than pays for this device.
Also is ultralightweight and is bus-powered. Just a normal mini-usb cable is all that is needed.
Customer Review: FAST!

I have been using Sandisk's Extreme CF media for about one year. Now my wife has a 12 Meg camera so also have a 4 Gig Extreme SD card. This matching Extreme reader has a faster data transfer rate than my old Sandisk reader. I had 120 pictures @ ~ 4.9 Meg each (589 Meg total) transfer from the SD card to file in about 2 min and 43 sec. I used MS Scanner and Camera Wizard. Drop n' drag from SD to file was 30 seconds, and drop n' drag from file to SD card was 42 seconds. I am running RAID 10 with Raptors, so file transfer to the HD's will be a bit faster. I highly recommend this reader. Sandisk products have been good to me over the years.Customer Review: Great card reader!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first card reader experience, and so far so good! It does everything it claims to do. I just plugged it in into my USB hub, inserted my SD card and the option appeared on my computer screen to download my pictures. It was that easy! No software to install or anything else like that! It is small enough that it doesn't take a lot of space on your desk. Plus, the size would make it easy to take with you. The price is very reasonable. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
