Hi Michael,Thank you for the inquiry. Yes, you can read from and write to your cf card with this device. Kind Regards,PM

Don't buy it. Simple as that, spend the extra cash to buy a name brand product. Otherwise you'll be returning this as well.

Not completely. The SD slot and USB 3.0 port work fine, however the CF slot does not. Rosewill's response to me was to return it.

anyone know which card slot is considered as primary card? CF or SD? or is it user definable?it is handy when using 'jpeg to secondary and raw to cf" config.

Dear Dale, I have a MacBook Air and a Nikon DSLR. I got the PixelFlash USB compact flash card reader to make it easy to transfer files from my camera to my laptop without using the camera's USB cable. Now all I have to do is to remove the CF card and use the card reader on my laptop. The main reason I got it was to transfer files to someone else's computer without carrying the camera's USB cord around. So far, it has worked perfectly. It's a good buy, especially for the price and functionality. Best wishes, Ray Honolulu, Hawaii

Hi Glen~ This Kingston USB 3,0 memory card reader is one of the best, if not the best card reader on the market! I have had issues with other models where the pins eventually became baent and were useless for CF cards. This card reader was well constructed. The CF cards are so securely and tightly held in the slot, thereby avoiding any movement which can potentially bend some of the pins. I absolutely endorse this product! The Kingston USB 3.0 is great with SD cards! Do check the reviews on Amazon!

Yes it does. I have a Fujifilm FinePix F401 that uses Smart Media card and it has been working well, for the last few months that I have the reader.

Yes, you can also write to your memory cards through the Kingston USB 3.0 Media Reader.

Doesn't come with any card slots. You have to purchase those separately. Choose sd or cf card slots. Any combination that works for you.

What compact flash card did you use? Will the camera take advantage of the high speed in the newer CF cards?

I think its the fastest CF card you can get, its 800 Mbs per second. whereas Sandisks are only a fraction of this speed

It doesn't come with any readers. You have to buy them all separately. : / The upside? You can mix and match. I purchased 2 SD and 2 CF for my shooting needs.

I am having concerns about this too--ready to click purchase, but it sounds like a real headache to get into iPhoto. Did you ever get a response from Nikon about how to do this?If not, what are you doing? Connecting the card reader to the mac, copy-paste the files, then manually import to iPhoto to create libraries?Seems a bit like going back in time. My ancient Sony CyberShot P&S; works great with iPhoto.

Yes you can. If you use the card in a camera it would be best not to write to the card or format the card with anything other than the camera. However if you want the card for data storage then, yes you can write data with no problems.

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.

This is the older style CF flash card. It is pretty big compared to the cards you see now. If the camera is older, than this is most likely what you need if it says CF

There are pages that have 2 compartments in them, instead of 3 smaller ones. I think this is intended for the CF card, but I have never tried to fit one in it. I was disappointed that it was not designed solely with SD card use, in mind.

Yes. It works in my card reader and my camera. Keep in mind that the reader must support CF type II flash memory which is thicker than type I.
