Review: Greatest Gadget for Photographers - This device is amazing. I do not know where this perfect device has been since I began my photography career many years ago. I love the fact that the pin alignment is always perfect. There is no guessing or inspecting that the pins are aligned. This gadget completely eliminates the risk of damaging any pins or CF Cards. The PixelFlash is super fast when connecting. I am thrilled I purchased it and plan on purchasing another in the future as a gift for a colleague.
Review: PixelFlash? More like PixelFAST! - So I'm a music and portrait photographer whose cameras mostly use SD cards. I hadn't had a camera that used a CF card in a long time. And I found myself in that situation recently. I thought all card readers were more or less the same until I started reading the reviews about the delicate pins on CF card readers. The PixelFlash is certainly not cheap comparatively but the reviews made sense compared to much cheaper competitors. The CF card itself inserts much further than another other card readers making it less likely to insert incorrectly. (I still insert it super careful though.) What did I want to do? Buy multiple cheap card readers? Or one good one? The unit itself is lighter than I had expected and the 1" cable stiffer than I expected. But the rubber-feel of the casing is nice as are the lights during use. I don't expect that I'll be flexing the cable all that much, but I chose it over the non-cable model, because I felt the unit without the cable would eventually stress the USB socket itself on my laptop. So the cabled model will relieve that stress and the cable doesn't have to be all that flexible to achieve this. (If you have a desktop computer with vertical USB ports this may not be an issue for you.) So far, I'm very pleased with the PixelFlash and I'm glad I spent a little extra money. It seems reliable and super fast. I would definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a solution to my reader woes!
*by K***R on December 27, 2018*

I have an embroidery machine that requires compact flash cards to transfer the designs from my PC to the machine. I have gone through 3 of the @$10 card readers in two years! I have tried to be ever so careful inserting my cards into the reader, but apparently the pins keep getting bent or broken. I was on Amazon looking to replace my last failed reader and came across the PixelFlash reader that promised no bent or broken pins. It was more expensive, but came with a 2-year warranty (which was extended to three years when it arrived), so I ordered one. It is very sturdy construction, and the compact flash card slides in much farther than on the cheaper ones and plugs into the pins very securely. The USB cable is firmly and permanently attached to the unit, so no worries about poor connections. This only reads compact flash cards, but that is all I need or want to read. This is just a good, solid, quality product that is very tactile!
