I guess I have to be the first to give this product a negative review. I have to take some of the blame, though, since I only now noticed the "USB 1.1" part of the name. I didn't know anybody made USB in any version other than 2.0 these days, so I was surprised when my 4-gig card claimed it would take 70 minutes to load onto my laptop. Heck, the cheapie card reader I've been using for 3 years goes much, MUCH faster than that. I had hoped to replace that relatively bulky reader with this slim little product, but I'll be passing the Delkin along to my wife's camera bag and keeping the old one for my pro work. Look for another product if speedy downloads are a priority.

Failed after one use. I don't want a replacement if it's that unreliable! Hmm the rating system won't take zero (or negative) stars, too bad.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did not Work, August 17, 2007

This review is from: Delkin Devices Reader 31 USB 1.1 CompactFlash Pocket Reader/Writer ( DDREADER-31 ) (Personal Computers)

This device did not "plug and play" in my up-do-date, Windows XP computer. When I plugged it in it asked if I wanted to "format" the drive. I declined and downloaded my pictures directly from the camera. I then chose to "format". It was unsuccessful and wrecked my CF card. I had no problems with a reader from Kingston that cost a bit more.
