Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sandisk Extreme FireWire Reader
Customer Review: Great Little Card Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
The card reader that I had been using was working perfectly well until I upgraded my Mac Pro OS to Snow Leopard. I learned the hard way that I would have to purchase a new reader as Lexar was not providing any updates. I refused to buy from them again so I went with this SanDisk Extreme FireWire Reader. I love it. It supports firewire 800/400 and is every bit as fast, if not faster than my Lexar. Everyone shooting RAW appreciates the need for speed.
In case it should help anyone I might mention, by way of confessing my own ignorance, I learned that my three year old Mac Pro does indeed have two correct ports for this reader. My old reader used the (400) firewire port that is shaped a bit like an arrow. I learned the more square-shaped port at the bottom of my tower was actually an additional (800) firewire port and was exactly what I needed for the optimum use of the SanDisk Extreme FireWire Reader. I offer this very non-technological description as I could no more count those little pins than see Horton's Who on the thistle.
One thing I do miss about my old Lexar is the dust cover it had for the opening. The SanDisk does not have one. That said, it's a small tradeoff for a reader that performs so well. I also love that is lays flat on my glass tabletop and has a thin rubber pad on the bottom so it stays put. It is no larger than the palm of my hand making it quite portable. For me, this reader is a very good bang for the buck.
