Review: Happy I Found This! - I'm so glad I purchased this reader!! Had one several years back and broke it. Looked everywhere for another one like it, without any luck. This is a different brand than I had but works just as smoothly.
Review: One time wonder - It worked the first time I used it. Haven't been able to use it since. Try something else. Has a pretty blue light.

### ⭐⭐ Very very slow !!
*by T***S on September 20, 2008*

I bought one of the XtraDrive for CompactFlash. Thought it is fast enough to copy my photos. Actually sometimes I wait more than ONE hour to copy 60 or 70 photos!! Beaware if you have greater expectations.
