I just purchased a CFR1. It works great when I plug it into a USB 3 port however it doesn't seem to get recognized when I plug it into a USB 2 port?

Not sure, however I looked online and I think it only works with USB 3.0 port.

is the usb port running off a hub or directly to the computer? needs to connect directly to the computer

I had the old version which was a USB 2 version which worked well but since I purchased a new computer with USB 3, that is how I use it. Just now I plugged it into my Macbook Pro which has USB 2 and it works beautifully. It should be noted that the first time I plugged it into my new Mac Pro, it did not work. It had me going till I decided to check to see I had plugged it in all the way. Hopefully you can get yours working properly and if not try to get it replaced with another. It will be worth it when working with large files. Good Luck

I don't know the specifics of your situation, but in past I had to upgrade my card reader when I bought a new type of CF memory card. This card is listed as UDMA 7, and an older card reader may not be able to handle that standard.

Unless I am missing something, this CF card reader SHOULD work with ANY computer with a USB drive. It's a simple device that does NOT require any software or any recognition by the computer other than acknowledging that a device is plugged into one of its USB ports that needs to be powered. All the "brains" of the device (what little there are, mostly mechanics and electronic components) are inside the device itself. I bought one and it worked sweet for a couple of weeks and then stopped working. I think I just got a defective one. The company that sold it to me replaced it and there is a new one on the way. It solves a particular problem well as long as it works. Unless I am missing something, this CF card reader SHOULD work with ANY computer with a USB drive.

I use this for my Lenovo X1 Carbon. All I did was connect it up, the PC recognized the external drive and it was immediately usable after the PC downloaded the required drivers. The important issue here is that your PC recognizes the device and downloads any drivers required. If it doesn't you would need to go to the Lenovo site and download the required drivers manually.

Have you tried using it on another computer? Or perhaps a different USB port? Is your computer fully updated? Do any other USB devices work when plugged into the same port? If all else fails, it may have a defect and you will need to exchange or return it.

I know it's backward compatible with 2.0 (just won't get the high speed transfer), and I'm pretty sure it's compatible with 1.1 since this is what their website states for requirements:"Desktop or notebook PC with an available USB port (USB 3.0 recommended)"

Mine, which is probably less than a year old has the USB 3.0 Micro-B port in back. It's been a really good card reader for me. The slots for the CF Card is *much* better and longer lasting than probably the last 3 crappy ones I've bought from other companies.

The ports will work with USB 1.1 or 2 devices. But it has to be plugged into a USB 3.0 card.

I got v3 in December. That's the one with USB id 1b80:e34c. Supported in latest Linux kernels, if that's why you ask.

Hello D. Olver,Thank you for the inquiry regarding the PixelFlash CF Card Reader. Yes, this reader is fully compatible with all Chromebooks that have USB ports (usb 3.0 and usb 2.0). Kind Regards,Sharon ReevesCustomer CareParadise Memory

At first I am pleased with this adapter. My tf101 was able to detect the external USB flash drive. I can transfer in and out of data with file manager app. Recently it cannot detect the USB flash drive anymore. However I still can view videos and photos form the USB flash drive by using the app ' Nexus Media Reporter's.s

I'm testing it out right now, it was recognized after a reboot in emulationstation. The usb was just recognized after installing the driver from retropie_setup.sh. This is on RetroPie 2.4.2

The supplied USB cord has two plugs on the end that's connected to the computer. Don't understand why but I've successfully used the burner while hooked up to USB3 port. Might have something to do with the data transfer speed in addition to more power. Or maybe the extra USB (and 1 or 2) is used for powering the unit while the USB3 is for data. Just an idea.

I am pretty sure it will work with USB 1 the computer I order mine for did not have a usb2 port.

Hi K!I am plugging it into the USB port directly, I don't have a card reader. iPhoto didn't recognize it... its own software that came on the cd (ancient) didn't see it... I got out the instructional booklet and did all the dumb stuff... you know. The spec's for the product don't advertise that they cover 10.5.5, which is the sad part. I'm hoping that's something they will fix soon? Or I'll figure out a workaround soon. Let me know if you have any luck!

I just looked at my box, and it doesn't mention CF either. Open the box, and test it. It's the first thing I did when I received mine. I didn't read the box, I opened it. Mine worked fine. The CF slot is at side nearest the "R" in the Anker logo on the front.

That is what I have as well. It worked fine with that. I am not sure what happened, I can only say I followed the directions, and after I tried it, nothing plugged into my USB ports worked, only the valet. Sorry I'm no real help.
