The ImageMate 12-in-1 reader/writer supports all CF cards designed according to the CF specification. This includes (and is not limited to) Ultra, Ultra II, Extreme III and Extreme IV.Always use the latest firmware (available at sandisk.com) and make sure you use a USB2.0 connection that complies with the USB2.0 standard (read: that supplies enough power).

I can"t get it to read my Extreme III 4 gb card either. Any Help? I have been to San Disc site and have the latest firmware Im told so how do I make it work? Sadly I have camaras with SD, xD, and CF so I was really likeing this reader until it wouldnt read my Extreme III card.

Kate: Extreme III 4 gb CF or SD? If you have troubles with CF, contact SanDisk tech support (it should work with Extreme 4GB CF). If you have troubles with 4GB SD, make sure the 20-90 number on the back is 20-90-03066, 20-90-03103 or higher. If not it means you have an older (hardware) version that is not SDHC (SD 4GB and up) compatible.

This is more of a clarification, because I don't have a definite answer.CF Type I and Type II are identical, except for thickness (3.3 and 5mm respectively). The roman numerals (I and II) are not related to the Ultra "II" (10Mb/s), Extreme "III" (20Mb/s) and Extreme "IV" (40Mb/s) numerals, which simply refer to a faster generation. Most cards are CF-I.I'd be surprised if Extreme III and IV would not be compatible with Sandisk's most recent multicard reader, but at least one user reports otherwise.

Jeffrey,I have a Belkin reader and it won't recognize a SanDisk Extreme III 2.0 GB SD card. On the SanDisk site, it says that both the 12in1 and the 5in1 readers will work with the Extreme III cards. So I was getting ready to buy this one - glad I didn't since as you say, it won't work. Have you found a reader which will work?

I verified this 12-in-1 reader. I formatted the 32gb SanDisk CF Card Extreme III in my old 5D Canon, shot a couple pictures, installed it in the reader and my Power Book recognized it just fine.

Looks like a negative. I don't have any Type II cards, but I compared it next to my Lexar reader (http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-Firewire-CompactFlash-RW019-Rev/dp/B00181U2Q2/) and the Lexar clearly has space to accommodate a taller card whereas this Transcend doesn't.

KE,I suspect you are confusing the 'Ultra II' with 'Class 2'. On each Sandisk Ultra II card it says '15MB/S'. So even if in real life you only get half of that speed, it is still much faster than class 2 (which means 2MB/S minimum).

Never tried...Don't know Sorry....I know it reads CF cards with adapter, but that's all....

yes, its designed to work with cf type 2 cards or SDHC to cf 2 adapters. I used the SD to cf type 2 adapter and the only issue I had was that its slightly taller than a standard CF card. I ended up peeling the top of the case for the adapter so that i could get it to fit in the ipod.

Haven't tested it with "all" the brands available but so far it's worked very well with all the cards I use (mostly Sandisc)I'd also recommend the dock that holds 4 of the readers - being able to download 4 cards at once is a real time saver for me. If you were to have any problems it would probably be with older, non-brand name CF cards which weren't always made to spec.

Consider these factors when choosing the size of your Compact Flash card. By the way, make sure the Compact Flash is a high speed card. I've been using SanDisk's Ultra II series which is a good performer for the money. Some of the faster brand name cards include Lexar's 80x Professional/Platinum Series cards, SanDisk's Extreme III Series, and just about any memory from Delkin. By the way, higher speed cards do increase the price of the card by a significant amount.

I have a previous version of this reader (an 8-in-1), and have been using it with 2GB SD cards (SanDisk Ultra II) for a couple years now. I have also been using it with 2GB and 4GB CF cards (both SanDisk Extreme III) for over a year with no problems. I haven't tried it with 8GB cards, as I don't own any.Again, this is for the SanDisk 8-in-1 Reader, which, looking back through my records, I purchased for $26.84 from Amazon.com back in November, 2004. I see no reason why the newer, updated 12-in-1 reader wouldn't offer similar functionality...Puzzling, because I need to purchase one of these for my parent's computer...(¯`'·.,¸_,.·´¯`·-> J.R.

How did you get a CF Card into a USB Port? If you used an adapter then the problem might be with that. With CF cards don't you need a CF Card Reader? I have a couple of SanDisk 8GB USB's and they seem to work well with the UNITEK 3 Port USB hub.

First, I bought the Lexar Dual Slot reader which only accepts CF and SD cards, not the Multi Card reader you are looking at. Also, this is a reader, not a storage device so capacity is not an issue. It should accept a card of any capacity.

Hi AlexI just ordered a new Canon S5IS, and got 3 Sandisk 2 GB cards,does it read them for you? I have not receive the SanDick 5 in 1` reader yet to try.jackraver@aol.com

The Sandisk SDDR-189 will read Compact Flash Type I cards; it supports the UDMA versions. It most likely will not read/write at the latest UDMA-6 or UDMA-7 speeds though as it predates those standards.It does NOT support Compact Flash Type II cards (i.e., MicroDrives).

Yes, I use two and agree with Patricia's comments. The SDXC cards seem to read slower than the CF.

Yes, this reader functions well with all SanDisk CF cards. I own Extreme III's as well as SanDisk higher end 90 MB/sec cards and all read and write flawlessly.

The card I got is U3. I'm not shooting 3K video, so the U1 versus U3 did not bother me, but I did research it to see what the difference was.

I also find this confusing and misinforming. The title (in list view) says it is an Extreme Plus card, but changes to Extreme on product view. Selecting the Original Packaging option shows Extreme image, AFFP option shows Extreme Plus Image. Sandisk website shows Extreme Plus as SDSDQX-032G-A46A, which is shown on the original packaging item number, not Extreme: SDSDQXL-032G-A46A. Which which is which?

It has a CF slot, but the only CF cards I have are the older variety, so I can't vouch for Type II.
