Summary: Worked great for 3 months...then crapped out.
Review: The reader was great for about 3 months. It was fast and easy to use. All I had to do was plug it in, look for the removable drive and get my pics. I tried to use it today and it won't work. Tried it on two different computers so I know it's not the computer's fault. I left the reader in the UBS for a couple minutes and noticed it was really hot when I took it out. This didn't happen before. There was also a strange burnt smell coming out of it...I'm glad it didnt kill my compactflash card.

It sucks that PNY only has a 90 warranty on the readers...I wonder why? It was a great reader when I did work...but after 3 months it died on me and of course it's past the warranty date. I'd find another reader that at least has a 1 year warranty.

Summary: Very fast, Reliable CF Reader
Review: This product is much too under-rated. I've used it many, many times with both my mac and my windows machine without a glitch. The data transfer rate is quite fast and reliable. The USB 2.0 interface makes transferring big amounts of files a breeze. It used to take my about 7 minutes for my camera to download 256Mb worth of pictures to my computer. With this reader, I do the same in about 40 seconds. For this price + some rebates you might find out there, you have a no-brainer here. Of course, the only caveat is that it only reads CompactFlash Cards, but if that's all you use, then it should not be a problem. Great Buy.
