This card reader is on our test bench today.
FIREWIRE 800 RED MAN READER UPGRADE
The jump from USB to FireWire 800 speeds make this upgrade a pretty damn good one to make. The series includes UDMA CompactFlash cards as well as the Lexar Professional CompactFlash Reader with FireWire 800 interface. This reader makes offloading your images a snap, getting you your empty cards back as quickly as possible to keep you shooting and shooting and shooting. Transfers data to your computer from CompactFlash memory cards. No more waiting around while cards offload. Features FireWire 800 connectivity for blazing transfer speeds also supports FireWire 400 connectivity. Of course, since you are all about speed though you’ll want to use that faster FireWire 800 connection.

It also has an adapter that comes with it if you need to use it with a FireWire 400 card. The reader comes with a standard FireWire 800 connection which is native on my MacBook Pro. But they should probably rename this product simply to RAW SPEED. It’s just a name and the card handles both RAW and JPG format images. The reader boasts download speeds of 42MB per second!Īs the megapixels (and files sizes) on digital cameras continue to get bigger and bigger and bigger (my Canon 5D M2 is up to 21 megapixel per frame now), getting these large images off of your camera faster and faster becomes more of a task.ĭon’t be confused by Hoodman’s “RAW” moniker on this product. CFFire800 features a single CompactFlash slot for CompactFlash Type I and II including Hitachi Microdrives and other CFII+ rotating media.
FIREWIRE 800 RED MAN READER FULL
I’d been using a previous Hoodman RAW USB 2 reader for the past couple of years, and while faster than most other USB card readers I’d tried, the thing doesn’t hold a candle to this new FireWire reader.įor my first test of the reader it moved 90 full high res RAW files from my SanDisk card in less than a minute. The CFFire800 FireWire 800 to CompactFlash Drive reader supports all the latest high-speed CompactFlash standards including PIO Modes 1-4, DMA Modes 0-2, and UDMA Modes 0-6. These ultra-fast speeds are achieved when using UDMA enabled CF cards. The CF FireWire 400/800 reader improves workflow speeds with transfer speeds over 45 MB/s. I just bought Hoodman’s new FireWire RAW CF card reader and have to say it rocks. The Delkin CF FireWire 400/800 reader provides an essential link in the workflow process, so photographers can save precious time importing photos to their computers.
