Excellent bundle, but description does not mention incompatibility,

This review is from: SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV CF Card with FireWire Reader Bundle (Personal Computers)
I was really excited about this bundle because of the large card capacity, professional performance, and the super-high speed reader bundled with it, all for a reasonable price.
However, I had to return the product. Why? Because the Firewire reader requires a *powered* connector (the reader draws its power from the computer, it does not have an independent power supply). The device will connect to either a FireWire 800 9-pin connector or to a FireWire 400 6-pin connector, but NOT to a FireWire 400 4-pin *unpowered* connector, which is what most laptops have (Apple MacBooks excepted). That in itself is not the reason for the poor rating I gave this product. The reason for the poor rating is that nowhere is this mentioned on Amazon's product description page.

This review is from: SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV CF Card with FireWire Reader Bundle (Personal Computers)
This bundle is a good value. There is an oddity in that the card reader is apparently FireWire 800 as well as FireWire 400, yet is not so labeled explicitely. I don't know why they do not trumpet this, because FireWire 800 is the fastest interface I have ever seen on a card reader. FireWire 800 is roughly twice as fast as USB 2. Both cables (400 and 800) are included with the card reader, and the fine print mentions both FireWire standards. Also, the claimed download rate accords with SanDisk's current FireWire 800 reader (which can be purchased separately without the bundled card).
The included Compact Flash card, Extreme IV 4.0 GB, is the favorite of our photography circle. It has a record of flawless reliability, and reads so quickly to the buffer, that overruns are not a worry. That is my experince with the Sony Alfa-100, firing at fast bursts while shooting birds. There is a great difference in card performance, and the Extreme IV is a real champion. The capacity is also what one needs when saving RAW files. If you get the reader and card together, you are assured of a compatible system. We are very satified, having used the SanDisk cards and reader with Sony and Canon DSLR cameras.

Windows XP SP2 user READ THIS,

This review is from: SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV CF Card with FireWire Reader Bundle (Personal Computers)
If you use Windows XP SP2 and want to take full advantage of this amazing Sandisk product, you need to read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 885222. It explains how Firewire was crippled by SP2 and provides a patch to correct the problem. I hope this helps you!
