I use Windows Vista - Home Premium, and this has worked fine with my 512 MB Compact Flash card.Customer Review: Compact Flash to PC Card Adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
Works fine! I needed this to play MP3's on my CF card in my Honda CRV.Customer Review: You can't imagine how slow it is, but it's still the choice...
Summary: 4 Stars
I did not even try copying a bulky file but edited a Word document stored on it instead. I immediately figured out that it takes 3 seconds to save a .doc file of size 41kb...what the hell???!!!
But after searching the technical documents I realized that PCMCIA interface offers transfer rate up to 66Mbit/s contrary to USB2.0 which offers 480MBit/s. So here is the difference, and there is nothing better to do.
The bad part is that the new Express Card interface, which is as fast as USB2.0, didn't yet give birth to any CF solution as good as this one physically. They are either unable to support CF, or have to leave 2/3 of the card body out of the adapter (that means out of your laptop), which may lead to physical damage to the memory when shock or impact happens.
That's why I still rated it as 4-star. We have no other choice. If you don't have to use CF, go to Express Card adapters with other types of memories like SD, PLEASE!!!
Customer Review: Good Product, could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
The card works great and I have used it a lot for consolidating photos from memory cards. I store the adapter right in the machine. The only issue, which is not a big one, is that one cannot remove the CF card without removing the adapter each time the card is changed. It would be much more convienent if the card could be slipped in and out without removing the adapter.
Other than that, it works very well and beats carrying a USB reader separate.
