I'm very happy with this card reader. I was looking for something that reads both Compact Flash (Extreme III, 4GB) and XD cards quickly. Many readers, especially the cheaper ones, don't read XD cards, and many don't handle some of the newer high speed CF cards very well. This one does it all, and handles many other card types as well. My Windows Vista computer recognizes it instantly and I didn't even need to install any new drivers. The cards fit snugly, but you don't need to force them in like you do on some of the lower quality (cheap) readers. I hesitated in ordering this reader because of the relatively higher price, but as they say, "You get what you pay for". And in this case, you get very good quality construction and technology. Well done Sony!

Beware of buying this reader. If you lose the install disc, Sony wants to charge you $20 for a new one. They don't offer a download of the software for this reader, but they do for other ones. Time to buy another one to copy the software, then return it!

I am not a tech guy. This card reader works great. I use it on 3 differnet laptops- Dell 9100, Dell X1, and an HP. Works easily on all 3. I bought it to replace a card reader that was about 7-8 years old. MUCH faster (I now buy Sandisk Extreme III cards for faster downloading).
