CF card readers

[DonW]

Here's a question for the camera junkies. What CF card reader would you suggest. Ive owned expensive ones and dirt cheap both only seem to last a month or two and die. I'd like to find one that will last awhile.


Thanks

I never had one die, used them for years no issues, ever lol and that is with the cheapy. My new computer has it built in, still no issues.

I dont know what the issue is. My SD card reader is 5 years old. CF die real quick. Camera shop says its the big file size and the nature of the beast, I have my doubts. They convinced me to buy all new high speed CF cards and a new reader but it lasted two months, the cards are fine but the reader died.

I brought it on e-bay, maybe get you a few, make sure it plugs directly into the usb.

I have a multi card reader that's supposed to read 7 types of media. I've used it for SD, Micro SD, and mainly for CF. It gets A LOT of use and has lasted at least 5 years. It's just an inexpensive one I purchased from Office Depot.

Seems like I have a uncommon issue. Maybe something is wrong with my computer or usb port.
