It is so easy to use to transfer captures from my CF card to my Mac. Very light and sturdy as well, and, the transfer rate is very fast. A good value.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card with a FireWire Reader Bundle:

Only reason I didn't give it five stars was the price--though, if you get it with one of Sandisk's frequent rebate offers, it's a bit more reasonable. Works perfectly--and it's very fast. No problems at all.

Both reads and writes fast in camera with delay. Of course the Firewire 800 rocks. Specially with RAW files.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card with a FireWire Reader Bundle:

Fast, as in transferring over 200 mb in about 5 seconds. (On a MacBook Pro using the FW 800 cord). My first CF card is also a Sandisk (4GB Extreme III) and I've had no problems with it at all. I decided to buy another 4GB for this summer's vacation.
The reader is rather small and light weight.

The only issue I had was with installing the Rescue Pro Deluxe software on my Mac. I had a hard time unpacking the .bin file (it didn't begin install immediately like it would on a windows comp).

Waste of money if you have a 4pin laptop

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card with a FireWire Reader Bundle:

I purchased this to use on my Dell Laptop with 4pin firewire. After I received the item I noticed it only had a 6 pin 400 and an 800 firewire. I purchased a 4-6 pin adapter and it didn't work. Called up SanDisk tech support and they were useless.

If they are going to call it a firewire reader they should mention it won't work on a 4 pin. This was a waste of money and also didn't give me a rebate on it which is more annoying.

On the plus the 4gb card works great.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card with a FireWire Reader Bundle:

I had to buy a firewire card as this would not work correctly on my built in HP firewire ports. My ports work with other devices but for some reason not this one. Sandisk tech could not explain the problem was going to replace but I bought a new firewire card (to save time and hassel on the 4-6weeks after they receive the reader back) With new port card I would give reader and cf card max stars, just that it cost me an additional [$]. I did try this on my work computer and there were no issues so HP owners beware!

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card with a FireWire Reader Bundle:

This card and reader is fast and worth every penny. It has no trouble keeping up with my Canon 40d. Getting the pictures from the card to my computer is a snap with the FW800 cable. The reader is now afixed to my ext. hard drive which has a built in card reader thats usb 2.0. I think its going to be getting dusty because I am going to be using the SanDisk reader from now on.

Comments about SanDisk SanDisk 4 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card with a FireWire Reader Bundle:

I am often shooting under deadlines so I was looking into ways to speed the ingestion of photos during assignments. While USB 2 may have similar speed ratings, the sustained throughput of firewire proves to be a big advantage.

I also like the size of a 4G card, I primarily shoot RAW so this give me enough images that I don't feel like I am changing the card all the time, but now so many pictures that if the card failed I would have lost everything.
