5.0 out of 5 stars An Adapter vs. a Reader, August 16, 2002

With so many different gadget choices, you can never figure out which one YOU need to help upload those pics you took!
The Adapter is a PCMCI card that you plug your compactflash card into. So if you have a PCMCI slot on your computer, this is your BETTER CHOICE.
If you don't, then the reader is for you.
Both are very well priced here. Both save you batteries and time. good luck.

Tired of transferring pictures from your digital camera by digging for a cable? Then this is a must have!

You just pop in a Compact Flash card, and put the card adapter into your PCMCIA slot in your computer. Windows XP automatically recognizes the card as a new "disk drive". You click on the drive just like you would your other hard drives. I have also used this with varying size Compact Flash cards and have not found any that it won't read. Reading of data seems to be very fast, depending only on the Compact Flash card you use. (Some Compact Flash cards are faster than others, but the adapter does not seem to slow down data transfer at all.)

For me, this is much easier than hooking up a cable to transfer pictures. As an accessory that will make your life easier, this is a great deal both in function and cost!

THis is a good investment (of $7) for those who are having laptop and camera/player which uses CF card. Just insert the card , that's it .. Transfer rate is much more better than USB card readers ... Here you don't need to carry the USB card reader or cables .. Just keep this card reader inside PCMCIA slot always .... Sometime it generates heat but no need to worry about that ... it's because the laptop itself get heated while working for more than 30minutes continusley ...Thanks
