Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDDR-64-768 Compact Flash to PC Card Adapter
Customer Review: Slow, affects entire system
Summary: 2 Stars
Note: I am fully aware that compact flash cards have a maximum sustained upload speed which caps off the potential speed of the medium it is being transferred on.
I purchased this product to use in conjunction with my SanDisk Ultra II compact flash cards. I thought that PC cards would be faster than USB 1.1 and 2.0, but thats not the truth.
Whenever I try to upload files from my CF cards thru the PC card, it slows down the ENTIRE system. I can't do other tasks while the card is uploading files since everything is acting sparatic and slow.
I'll admit, the card is a bit faster in uploading files than USB 1.1, but I can't do anything else on my computer while the card is working. Honestly, I would rather have a little bit slower performance with my USB 1.1 card reader and be able to work on my computer at the same time instead of having the card slow down my entire system.
I believe this card is a 16-bit pcmcia card. I've heard good praise for Lexar's 32-bit pcmcia cards, but I have yet to try it out. I'm sure it costs more money than this PC card or a USB card reader, though...
All in all, I suggest getting a USB 2.0 compact flash reader over this product if you want to work on your computer at the same time as you are uploading files.
Otherwise, if your the kinda person who doesnt mind leaving the computer alone while the files are uploaded to your computer, this will work just fine for you.
Customer Review: Good Choice

This product functions as it should. This is a fine choice for an inexpensive product. There are more expensive card readers avalible, but I know of no advantage they may have over this one.Customer Review: Great site!

I am very pleased with my purchase. The product was of a great quality and the delivery time was good. Customer Review: ScanDisk Compact Flash Card adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
It sure is easier than the external USB card reader I was using before. Easier to carry, no "moving" parts, and it seems to read CF cards faster than my USB reader.
Customer Review: Adds Memory to Embroidery Machine
Summary: 5 Stars
My Janome Memory Craft 300E Embroidery Machine needed a Compact Flash Card Adapter to use in the machine's card slot. The manufacturer recommended a Sandisk Adapter for use with the Sandisk FlashCard. The first place I look for needed items is Amazon. Found what I needed - the price was right & the service was fast. Thanks!
