It draws a lot of power, might not be best for a laptop. It can get quite hot, don't leave plugged in. Each slot registers as a separate drive, best to lable them. Low price/quality. Worked well for photo downloads for first 80 days.

I moved away from using a USB 1.0 transfer device. It was a generic brand and I'm glad to move to Flashpoint's card reader device. The multi transfer/reading capabilities opens doors to speeding your workflow.

My computer (a very new MacBook) would not recognize the drive.

Item not quite as described. Description indicates metal construction. Unit is all plastic. CF card slot is very shallow and guides are not precise. Unlike my San Disk unit, I have to concentrate on inserting the card. Claims to read 64 types of cards. The unit only has icons / symbols for 7 types and no instructions about what slots to use for the other types. Unit performs well, transfers are fast just disappointed with the construction.

Seemed to be a replacement for my two different card readers (compact flash & SDHC); but when I plugged into into my iMac dual core Intel processor desktop, the computer auto disconnected the reader unit due to excessive current draw. Plan to try in a different USB port.
