Sandisk Extreme Firewire Compact Flash Card Reader – Faulty
Well, being a wedding, and studio portrait photographer, I wanted to upgrade my crappy CF card reader for a riced, uber one. The faster I could find, the Sandisk Extreme Firewire Compact Flash Card Reader. Product specs indicate it’s meant to copy at 40MB/s, run via Firewire, and requires an Extreme IV card to make… Continue reading Sandisk Extreme Firewire Compact Flash Card Reader – Faulty
