Rating: - Causes laptop to kernel panic
I bought this thinking it'd be a good way to save on precious USB ports and a quick way to transfer photos from my DSLR. Unfortunately about two-thirds of the time it causes my laptop to kernel panic when I first insert it and I have to reboot, losing any unsaved data.
After a reboot it performs okay but speed is highly variable and so it's hard to rely on, particularly in high pressure situations where there isn't time to just leave a laptop standing while photos import.

I'd give this product ... Read More
Rating: - So Far Excellent
I am a photographer, and the images I take can be quite large. I sometimes transfer 8 gigs at a time off of my camera's compact flash cards. This card is amazingly fast and cuts my transfer times down to probably a third or less of what it used to take when I used a USB card reader.
