Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Saicoo CAC Smart Card Reader, DOD Military USB Common Access, Compatible with Mac OS and Windows (Black) by Theresa Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

as the pins are easy to bend, add

(original post) I should return it, it's weak when you use CF cards in your camera as the pins bend easily. Also, the computer always gives me a driver error message when I plug it in. NOTE: I will double check this review but am already changing it to 4 stars simply because Saicoo contacted me and sent a new one to replace the other. Most likely the CF card part will still be an issue as it is not designed to use the CF card the way it could be. The only reason I didn't return it was because it works great for my SD cards and Micro SD, but being a professional photographer and having to load multiple 16GB CF cards after every wedding, I have due to the CF card reader part design, you may still have trouble bending a pair of pins, or the pins are too long, or they are not deep enough for the card to go deeper before it makes contact with the pins. I have a CF card reader which I have had for 15 years and have never had a problem but the only reason I put it aside was because now in addition to my Nikon D3 cameras I have SD cards and Micro Use SD. use the CF cards. Kudos to a company that cares enough about the customer to go the extra mile to make things right!
