Reliable little device

4 out of 5

Pros: Fast , Slim, Reliable

Cons: Flimsy

Best Uses: Professional Cameras

Describe Yourself: Professional

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I tend to go through about one card reader a year for some reason; they simply stop working after a bit -- perhaps I use them more frequently than they're designed for, or perhaps their working life is only about a year.

In any case, this one is the most reliable CF-card readers I've used. My one complaint is that the cover constantly jumps off its track and I sense it's impending demise. This is the first reader that I'd consider replacing with a duplicate, though, despite the flimsiness of the cover, due to its fast data transfer and relative overall reliability.
