This obviously reads CF and SD cards, but can it also write data to the cards as well or does it only read and transfer it?

Cards show up on desktop as they would with any other card reader so you can transfer data from the card or to it

Yes, I've used all my CF cards and it works fine. The only issue would be the device you're plugging the card into and whether it has any limit. Some computer card slots may have a limit to how much it can read.

The specs. say, "All-in-1 Card Reader, Supports CF, CF II, SD, SDHC, MINI SD, MMC, MicroSD, XD." It was a long time ago I installed this, and I am not 100% sure - but, I am about 90% sure that YES, it can read that type of memory card. It really is a good All-in-one reader, and I had no trouble with installing it or with it's operation - it's pretty smooth.

The unit works ok, but the framing is flemzey. I have a really solid unit in my other PC, but do not know the brand. My suggestion is not to use a CF card, but use a SD. Don't have to worry about the pins getting bent.

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.

It works great for USB based HDDs and flash drives. I haven't used any SD card readers, but I just verified that a cheap Sandisk microUSB reader worked.

Yes! this unit is fully functional to read and write to memory. I have used it with up to 64G micro SD card and works perfectly.

Many new computers can read/write to SD cards, but the Micro SD cards are used in smaller devices. (ie phones, tablets, etc...). If you want to transfer something from your tablet or phone, and you don't have your usb cable, you can put your micro SD card in the adapter and read it on your laptop or PC. It's just nice to have more options to transfer files if one way doesn't work.

No it does not. I don't know that I've ever seen one on a CF card. I have only seen that on an SD card. I hope that helps. I have had good luck with them so far.

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.

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

This thing is very fast never had a read issue. I think it would be more dependent on the speed class of the SD card. The USB speed on this thing blows my mind!

it has two slots both for sd and cf. i use sd and it works great! it takes seconds to transfer 500 images 5 mb each.

It reads my type 1 Sandisk extreme 32GB CF card just fine. Type 2 cards are a bit thicker though. Not sure if it will completely fit. Btw, get the usb 3 version rather than this usb 2 version

It's a CF or Compact Flash card, not an SD card. Memory cards are so inexpensive these days it doesn't really matter. Card readers are cheap too.

It should work since it's CF but make sure that you have 2 identical MicroSD cards.

Yes. I've used it in multiple readers with no problem. It essentially is a CF card with removable storage. Make sure it is a Type II reader as a type I card is slightly thinner. Your transfer speeds will be limited to the max speed of the actual SD card.
