Works with Macs
I'd been meaning to get a compact flash reader as an accessory for my 3 year old Canon ELPH S110 which uploads pictures quite slowly over the standard USB 1.1 interface and has been known to power down mid-upload. Being a Mac user, I wanted to get a FireWire adaptor and not spend too much money, so I searched Amazon and found this device.

So far, it's been about what I expected. I insert my card into the device, plug the device into an open FireWire port on my PowerBook G4, iPhoto launches and I click a button to start the upload.

Here are some sample upload times for 150 phots of around 0.8 MB each:
Direct camera to computer connection with USB 1.1
PowerBook G4 12": 7 minutes 8 seconds
PowerMac G4 667 Mhz: 9 minutes 6 seconds

Using Delkin Firewire Reader:
PowerBook G4 12": 4 minutes 25 seconds
PowerMac G4 667 Mhz: 3 minutes 29 seconds

So, as you can see, the device is significantly if not spectacularly faster than a direct USB connection.

I've used the device with both a SanDisk Ultra II 256MB card and a SiliconTech 128MB card with no apparent difficulties. Despite being much newer, the SanDisk card doesn't appear to be significantly faster than the older card.

Finally, A CompactFlash Card Reader That Works!!!
Lets face it folks, USB is not universal. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't, or sometimes almost, but not always.

I've tried over six USB 1.1 and 2.0 CF card readers, on different PC's and operating systems ... none to my satisfaction ... read errors, function device drivers not found, won't "eject" or dismount properly, etc, etc.

The first time I pluged in the Delkin Devices READER-24 FireWire Reader - it worked!!! No special drivers needed either. ... Read more

Faster picture downloads
I've been using this for a couple of weeks now. The performance of this adapter with a *fast* CF or Microdrive is awesome - I can download at least 3 times faster than I could with a standard (16 bit) PC card adapter - I think even faster than my FireWire CF card reader.

However, if you try this with the typical 4x speed CF card, you'll see no difference, because even a 12x and a 40x card seem to run at about the same speed on a 16-bit PC adapter.

This Cardbus adapter seems to be able to get every last bit out of the faster CF cards. ... Read more

Good for those with digital cameras
I bought this to compliment a recent purchase of a digital camera. After receiving it I plugged it into my PC and it was detected and working without having to install any drivers (Windows XP). I was able to download around 60 megabytes of pictures in just a couple minutes. I am pleased with this overall; I just wish it were a little smaller given the size of the SD and MMC formats.

Overall I'd suggest this read to anyone who has a digital camera or uses secure digital or MMC cards in other electronic devices. It saves on batteries in the devices and transfers files very quickly. ... Read more
