Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDDR-64-768 Compact Flash to PC Card Adapter
Customer Review: Works
Summary: 4 Stars
It works with no issues on 5 different PCMCIA/Cardbus slots I've tried in combination with at least 8 different CF cards from various manufacturers. I also have the non-Ultra blue/red version of this adaptor, and I couldn't tell any difference between the two other than the label and part number (hence on 4 stars due to the higher cost of this Ultra version).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.
Customer Review: Hey, it works!

After running my camera's battery down transferring 1G of photos into my 3 year-old HP notebook with USB 1.1, it is refreshing to be able to do the same task in a few minutes and still have plenty of juice left in my camera battery (and notebook battery, too).

I was very excited to get this card adapter so I could stop using my external USB device to down load photos. I popped it in and inserted my 4GB card which wasn't nearly full, and it told me the estimated time to finish was 25 minutes!!! I couldn't ever remember it taking that long, so I cancelled the transfer after watching it for about 5 minutes or so just to make sure it wasn't going to speed up or equalize or something. I put the same card in my usual USB card reader and it started the transfer (of all photos, not just the remaining ones), and it took 7 minutes to complete. I don't think that USB 2.0 is slower than PCMCIA bus, because you can get a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card adaptor! I can't figure out why a simple device would cause the transfer to take so long. It wasn't really worth the effort to return the opened $12 item and get charged a restocking fee, so I still have it, but I only use my USB card reader. Maybe it would work better as a coaster for drinks or something! Customer Review: It works, but it is SUPER SLOW!

I bought this reader for my laptop since it didn't have USB 2.0.
But to tell you the truth, I think this device is a little slower than USB 1.0! I am going to buy the Lexar 32Bit card and see if that improves the download speed, because this reader is so slow.
It took me about 45min to download 2GB of photos from my Extreme III card. That is unacceptable.
