5.0 out of 5 stars Trouble free with Windows, April 17, 2002

I bought the Lexar Compact Flash reader based on my esperience with its SmartMedia twin, and I wasn't disappointed. Plugged into machines running Windows ME and W2000 it rapidly set itself up and was ready to go in under a minute. One caution: If you're running Window ME make sure you've got all the latest updates. Early version of Windows ME had a serious bug that caused problems in reading from any USB attached drives or other storage devices.

1.0 out of 5 stars Keeps crashing my computers, June 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lexar Media RW016-001 USB Compactflash Reader (Personal Computers)

This card reader worked great on my top o' the line laptop for about two weeks, then starting hanging up my system. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it keeps happening. Also tried it on my desktop machine, with the same problem. I haven't done anything "funny" with it, so this was really frustrating. Basically, this probably fits into the category of "you get what you pay for"

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job well., January 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lexar Media RW016-001 USB Compactflash Reader (Personal Computers)

There's not much to say about this product. It reads compactflash cards just like a laptop PC card adaptor does. It allows me to transfer pictures from my digital camera quicky. Also, it makes it possible to use compactflash cards as small portable harddrives.

I've had no problems with the device and cannot understand why anyone would give it a low rating.
