question:
This product is detected by windows, but cannot be used as the primary bootable drive of your system unless you buy the 5x more expensive industrial type CF cards that can be used as fixed disks. If youre trying to use this as you primary bootable drive using your run of the mill sandisk or trandscend, etc etc CF card this adapter WILL NOT work! Many of the online solutions for making a removeable type CF disk detected as fixed do NOT work with sata drives, and only work with IDE. When I contacted addonics about this they responded that this was common and offered no further assistance. BOTTOM LINE: if youre looking to just add an additional drive to your system using this adapter youll probobly be ok, but if you want to install windows on a CF using this adapter it probobly will NOT work.

the cable arrived quickly and works fine, no problems whatsoever. i noticed one reviewer had issues where the device he connected it to was not recognized. in newer products it is becoming more the norm so as to prevent end users like us from getting less expensive though equally good chords, manufacturers have embedded microchips in their devices which recognize ONLY chords from the device manufacturer and no others will work. a recent but perfect example is the iphone 5, though i realize that is not a usb 3.0 cable the same proprietary issue applies. sadly it seems to be a growing trend but all you can do is try, do research and hope for the best. thankfully only a handful of device manufacturers have put this new tech out there so odds are it won't affect you. if you do have issues try the cable on another device first preferably from another maker. if that still doesn't work it could be related to your auto detect settings and of course there is always the remote chance the cable is bad. that said in my two plus decades of tech experience i have yet to have a bad cable out literally hundreds i have used between my business, clients and home.
