Good service

Works great

PhotogEngineer, Newegg

  • Summary: I read the other's comments regarding this problem before I bought it, so I have been very careful each time I plug in a CF card to make sure it is going in straight and
  • Pros: Its 20 pin connector plugged right into the GA-970A-UD3 motherboard's connector. Much faster transfer of photos from CF and SD cards than with my prior USB2 card reade...
  • Cons: CF port is a little shallow and doesn't provide enough guidance to the card when it is plugged in; I took off 1 egg for this. Would be better if deeper; given the prod...

Fast

  • Excerpt: Installed this on an Asus P8P67 and the plug was a perfect fit in the motherboard, no trimming required. Performance compared to the USB 2.0 reader I took out was fantastic. With a Lexar Professional 300x UDMA CF card I got a 16x speed up on reading and a 9x speed up on writing. With Class 4 and 6 SDHC cards the speed ups were 5x on reading and 2x on writing. The only downside I've noticed is that the CF slot is shallow, as others have said. It is really easy to insert the card misaligned - take care.

Died After 4 Months

TheBeagle, Newegg
7 September 2012
  • Pros: It looked nice and seemed to work well - Before It Died.
  • Cons: The unit died the other day. Before it died, it sucked up 4 more drive letters (for a total of 8), and that did very bad things to my OS. I would have expected better ...

Great out of gate, died before finish

Llort, Newegg
20 August 2012
  • Pros: Fast CF Reader. Wife liked silver bezel. USB 3 header cable fit in ASUS Sabertooth X79 with no modification.
  • Cons: Card feed for CF is not very long, caused bent pin. Would buy again if guide/feed was replaced by something longer.

Works with exceptions.

  • Summary: Secondly, I have a Kingston CF 133x speed elite pro memory card. If I try to write to it the card reader locks up Windows Explorer and requires a forceful reboot.
  • Pros: USB 3.0 device. Supposed to support many forms of memory cards*.
  • Cons: To upgrade the firmware you get the message Please Plug into a USB 2.0 connection. Well, USB 2.0 is inherent on a USB 3.0 header. What I finally did was get pinout inf...

USB 3.0 Plug DOA

wolf777, Newegg
8 July 2012
  • Pros: Media Cards worked
  • Cons: USB 3.0 plug DOA... Silverstone tech support is useless and firmware update is annoying to get to and doesn't work causing more problems... now LEDs do not work.

  • Pros: Fast USB 3.0 reader with a native 20-pin connector. UHS-1 and SDXC card support. The connector cable is quite long for use in full tower cases. The power LED is green ...
  • Cons: Upside down CF and USB 3.0 port, not really a huge con but I had to note something.
