Digital camera reviews of Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 3in1 Card Reader (SDDRX3-3IN1-901, US Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Everything depends on your computer
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 Reader, thinking that, like the sales pitch, it would dramatically incease my download times from a CF card (or SD) to my computer. Well, I was wrong. Like all things in the slightly despicable digital industry, you need something else in addition to the thing you are buying. And, of course, they do not tell you this (unless you read the very very, sometimes obscure, sometimes not present) fine print.
Anyway, on my current system, which is a bit outdated, there was no visible improvement in download speed from the previous eFILM USB 2.0 reader I have. I also bought a new Extreme III 4GB CF card, which this Sandisk Extreme is specially designed for, and there was no obvious improvement in download time. Remember, you must have a USB port ON YOUR COMPUTER that ACCEPTS the "superfast" download times of the Sandisk Reader. So, in essence, check your own computer system to see if it will even work "as promised" by the Sandisk Extreme Reader. You may have to buy a new computer, either a new MAC or a PC with DUO processors, for this puppy to work "as promised" by Sandisk. I'm pretty sure that once I upgrade to a new system, it will work "as promised". For now, though, there is no discernable change in download times at all.
Digital camera Review: Excellent CF reader
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this reader because my other readers where having problems with my SanDisk Extreme III CF cards. It's compact, fast, has a removable cable, works with my Mac and my Extreme III cards. It also has a SD slot that covers my wife's camera memory cards.Digital camera Review: Excellent Card Reader

I received this as a gift and it is great. Using Sandisk Extreme IV Cards, it easily gets 40mb/s read times. I would suggest this to anyone needing an external card reader, it has worked great for me.Digital camera Review: Excellent Reader

I have not seen a faster usb reader than this little puppy. Worked perfect out of box. I used to start downloading and walk away for awhile, now I get right to work.Digital camera Review: Excellent card reader
Summary: 5 Stars
This card reader is very fast... much faster than anything I've used before. If something happened to it, I'd buy another one right away.
