This product sure beats uploading my images using my card reader that is built in to my computer. IT cuts the time in half. I use mainly extreme III cards by sandisk and it is a perfect match. I highly recommend.
Rating: - **** An Awesome Reader ****
A must have for anyone who shoots a lot of sports or just shoot a lot at once. Example: I do "Sports-Action Photography". Last week I downloaded 412 photos in 54 seconds,using a SanDisk Extreme III CF 30 MB/s 4GB. The reader is "The Best" I've ever had out of many. When not in use I put a blank CF in it to keep the dust out as it sits on my desk.

Upon Receiving a camera I had ordered at the same time as this reader, I discovered that it did not include any storage on-board, so I went to a local shop and picked up a 4GB 233X Lexar Professional CompactFlash card as I had not yet received the 4GB 300X Transcend CompactFlash cards I had ordered from another vendor.
This reader works fine with the 233X Lexar card, but the 300X Transcend card will not mount at all using this reader. Oddly enough, the 300X Transcend card works fine with ... Read More
