I bought this poduct about two months ago and, for the most part, it does what it is advertised to do. I have been able to use three different media card types (by far the most frequent is a 128 MB CF card followed by a 512 MB CF card ). My computer easily recognized the new drives and never skipped a beat.

The issue that I have had more than a couple of times is the actual writing to the disk. I expect that, when the file transfer progress box goes away, that the files have been transferred to the card. I many cases, this is not an appropriate assumption. Instead, when you pull the card out, it waits for about thirty seconds and then flashes up a message box that says the files were not written and no data was transferred. It works if you wait for about two minutes after the files have "finished" copying before you pull the media card though.

Still, I have to dock 2 stars for the card reader not doing being able to achieve it's primary task.

This is a very good product for the money. It is almost 3-4 times faster than the USB1.1 products. I own both. I use the regular CF card(not the high speed ones). This thing is very small and ligh weight.

Overall, I recommend this product.
