Question: Does this work with windows 8?
Document: I have an older Canon EOS Rebel XT camera and recently had to get a new computer due to a crash. The software that came with the camera would not work with Windows 8, (only XP) additionally there are no driver updates available from Canon, even though I tried what Canon recommended. I have tried other products that cost more and ended up being junk, bent pins and software conflicts.
Very cost-effective. Windows 8 on my new computer was making photo downloads from my camera impossible - this device has saved the day, and the download speed is wonderful.
I bought the card reader because of its "NO BEND PINS" feature. However, the card reader I received could not read a CF card. Perhaps it may be because I am using Windows 8, but supported operating systems are not noted in the posted product specs.
The PixelFlash USB 3.0 sounded perfect for my needs. When it arrived I eagerly inserted it into a USB 3.0 port on my Windows 8 PC, inserted a Compact Flash card and attempted to access the dozens of photos stored on it. NOTHING! What a disappointment. The only positive for this experience was that it was relatively inexpensive.Sad. It seemed like it would be such a nice device.
Raw files are 27-29 megabytes each so a couple of hundred images would take a while. The PixelFlash USB 3.0 is a CF only card reader but it works without any conflict. When I plug in my 32-gig cards into the reader and then into one of the side USB 3.0 ports on the PC, Windows 8 Pro will ask if I wish to import my files with Adobe Lightroom 4.0 ... Perfect!!!
I just bought aSanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro CF memory card - UDMA 90MB/s 600x (SDCFXP-032G-A91, US Retail Package)and the PixelFlash USB 3.0 No-Bend Pins Compact Flash Memory Card Reader SuperSpeed CF Adapter worked perfectly!So far, the reader works perfectly on Windows XP(32bit), Windows 7(32/64bit) and Windows 8(32/64bit) on USB 2 & 3 ports.I would 100% recommend this CF reader. :)
This is the second card reader I have purchased here in 8 months. The most recent I purchased was 4 weeks ago, and already does not work. I have contacted CS hoping to get a replacement bc I need a card reader for work:(.
I bought this because my old camera used the standard SD card that I could insert in my laptop without an adapter. My new camera requires a CF card. I was thrilled that not only did this adapter work well in my Windows PC, but it also worked with my MAC.
UPDATE 24 FEB 2013:As suggested by the manufacturer, i downloaded the drivers from PixelFlash website and installed these. After the dedicated drivers, it is giving me speed on par with other USB3.0 readers. Why this would require special drivers, whereas other readers just work fine with Windows 7 native drivers, is beyond me. But now i can say its more like a 5 star product given its price.
The best solution is to use a USB extension cord. There are plenty around, and there is nothing special about the cord, it will work with USB 3. I happened to have one lying around that has a very thin wire that makes it easy to use. Here is an inexpensive example:AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cable (9.8 Feet/3.0 Meters).Read speeds are exactly what I would expect.
Answer: Yes, this CF Reader is fully compatible with Windows 8, both 32bit and 64bit versions, without the need for any additional drivers or software.
