User Reviews about SmartDisk THUNDERBOLT HI-SPEED USB 2.0 ( CM-28000 )

I am a professional photographer for a national wire service and have to work in all sorts of environments and locations. Priority one is to get photos out fast! The Thunderbolt card reader is easy to carry and works fast. I use two Thunderbolts connected to a USB hub. This way I can download 2 cards at the same time. The only downside is that they usually last about 1 to 1 1/2 years. They are cheap enough and fast so I don't care. I use the readers almost everyday multiple times. So if you are not using it as much it should for a long time. I have been using these for at least 6 years or longer. I usually buy 3 or 4 at a time so I have spares. I will continue to buy these as long as they are available. -- Great reader!

I have owned numerous card readers in the last few years and I am always seeking one that will download images quicker. This card reader claimed to be faster and it was relatively cheap, so I bought it. I am very happy with my purchase. The card reader may well be the fasted I have owned. Also I like how it swivels for easy manageability with my laptop. I highly recommend this card reader. For its price it is a great value! -- Inexpensive and Does the Trick

I have other devices including the Delkin 32 bit PCMCIA card. This device is faster for my 4GB CF cards full of RAW files.

I worry a little about the rotating USB connector. Over time this could be a point of failure. But for the past two months I have enjoyed the extra fast downloads. -- Fastest download product for your CF's.
