Summary: Terrible!!!
Review: This unit worked once and never again. I had to resort to downloading pictures from my Nikon directly instead of saving battery time as I had hoped to do. The card reader not only did not work but caused my computer to crash twice, since I, believing the other reviews, kept trying thinking I had the faulty parts, not the reader. I'm not sure I even want to try another unit.

Summary: Love it!
Review: I bought this thing when it came up in my gold box offers. I had no idea what it even was when it came up, so I clicked on it and read the reviews. Based on the reviews, I decided that I must get one! It makes loading the pictures onto the computer so easy, and since I'm not using the camera to do it, it saves on batteries!! For as inexpensive as this thing is, it is more than worth to buy it just to save on batteries. The camera makers should just include it with the camera!!

Summary: Works great!
Review: I had been unable to get the USB software for my Kodak DC280 digital camera to work in Windows 2000 Server and had been using the serial connection to transfer photos, which is extremely slow. This SimpleTech compact flash card reader showed up in my gold box one day, so I decided to pick it up and give it a try. This unit works great and is much faster than a serial connection. I plugged it in and after a couple of dialog boxes, my CF card showed up as another drive on my system. Copying photos off the card is extremely easy and the unit takes up miniscule desk space. The only thing I don't like is that the plastic & construction [but], it's performing perfectly.

Summary: Save Battery Life
Review: Simple and easy to use, I wish I had bought one sooner. Save the batteries in your camera and use this Simpletech Reader. Just plug the Compact Flash Card into the Reader and then plug the Reader into the USB port on your PC. With Windows 2000/XP that's ALL you need to do, when finished downloading the pictures just pull out the Reader and remove the Compact Flash Card. I highly recommend this product, I think it's great.

Summary: Great & Inexpensive what a great combo!!!
Review: This Simple tech STI-UCF flash reader defintely worth the mula. Instead of hooking your digital camera straight to your computer through a USB cable, instead you just put your flash card into the reader and treat it like any other drive on your computer hard drive. Super easy to setup and then you are ready to copy over your files in a matter of minutes (literally) or sometimes even less.

Summary: Good price....if it works!!
Review: Just got my Simpletech STI-UCF100 Compact Flash Memory card reader to use with my 256MB Viking card. Although the reader reads the contents of the card, transferring the data is another problem. This is supposed to be fast, like 1.5MB/sec or something. Rather it starts fast and then stalls for minutes, literally freezing up your computer. I've called tech support and they tried walking me through formatting my flash card, which I thought fixed the problem, until I tried again. Same problem happens. If you have to format your card everytime you want to download some pictures, what's the point? Anyways, will give it one more go before throwing in the towel. Wonder if the more expensive ones are any better?....
