Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / March 2005Extreme III card reader
Hello, Does anyone know which model of Sandisk reader supports the 20MB transfer rate? I have a few CF and SD cards and I want get a new reader. Tony | Hello, | | Does anyone know which model of Sandisk reader supports the 20MB transfer | rate? I have a few CF and SD cards and I want get a new reader. | | Tony Any USB v2.0 CF reader. The SanDisk 6 -in- 1 and the 8 -in- 1 both read CF and SD cards and are USB v2.0.  SignatureDave From: "David H.

B&H sells a really nice one (GC, I believe) that handles Type I, Type II and Microdrive. You might find out if it'll read Extreme III cards. MINE works fine with Microdrives and the Type I cards that I own (Delkin and standard Sandisk). FWIW, I have had Lexar and Sandisk readers and think much more of my generic GC PCMCIA reader. Maybe it is just the Sandisk reader that has a problem??? I know I bought and returned a Sandisk PCMCIA reader due to lack of compatibility with my microdrives.

MINE >works fine with Microdrives and the Type I cards that I own (Delkin and >standard Sandisk). This would be an important factor for me, because I currently use a SCSI-interfaced PCMCIA reader in my Sun workstation, with (as it turns out) the Sandisk "CompactFlash PC Card Adaptor". (I've got other brands, which I have not yet tried in this device, but I suspect that there is little difference between them. I suspect that they are simply mounting for the flash card and the connectors at each end.) It works fine with anything from the 8MB card which came with my original Nikon CoolPix 950 up through the Lexar 1GB 80X cards which I am currently using. Yes -- the transfer is perhaps not as fast as a USB-2 reader on the Windows box -- but the Windows box takes longer counting the fact that I have to boot it (the unix boxen are up 24/7), download the images, and then transfer them over the net to the unix boxen where I work on them. > FWIW, I have had Lexar and Sandisk readers and think >much more of my generic GC PCMCIA reader.

When I do get the Extreme III, it will be the second time I have to get new readers when going to a faster card. SignatureDave |
