Rating: - Excellent product, and boy is it FAST!
I bought this at Amazon to mate up with my new Lexar Pro UDMA 8GB CF card. The reviews here were mixed, so I had a wee bit of trepidation about spending over $60 for a simple reader. I am happy to say that my misgivings were unjustified. This is a great product.
The unit itself IS a little cheap looking, but it works as advertised, and is the fastest reader I've ever seen! My first test, downloading 2.9GB of RAW and JPEG pictures just taken with my new Canon 50D, wouldn't even allow ... Read More
Rating: - FW800 CF reader
Transfers about 3 RAW files a second. Very fast. It does feel sort of cheap, but so far is working fine.
Rating: - Fast reader but flawed FireWire 800 Implementation
The reader is indeed fast. But...
One of the features that I was interested in was the pass thru FireWire 800 port for daisy chaining of devices. Unfortunately if the reader is in a chain with other FireWire 800 devices it will not operate. It may also prevent other devices in the chain from operating properly. This is unfortunate as many machines only have one 800 port, and FireWire 800 hubs are expensive. Below is the reply that I received from Lexar about the issue.

Rating: - Pro Series CF Reader A Must
This is the fasted reader I have ever seen. Clears a full 8gb CF card in minutes. A must for any professional where time is of the essence.
Rating: - lexar firewire 800 reader
Amazing how much faster the transfer compared to USB!
This makes using a 8GB card practical (provided, of course, that the card is USDM or 300x or faster).
Highly recommended.
