Customer reviews
Fast but finicky with Mac OS 10.5 & Macbook 
by .. Jamie B (Sacramento, CA USA)
I recently purchased both this item (SIIG Hi-Speed ExpressCard CF R/W) and a Sandisk Extreme FireWire Reader. The latter comes with both FW800 and FW400 cables, which I needed for a legacy laptop that only has FW400 and no ExpressCard slot.
I could not find speed comparisons online, so I ran some comparisons myself between the ExpressCard device and the Sandisk reader using FW800. Using a Lexar Professional 8GB CF card (233x speed), both devices transferred a single 1.3 GB video file to my MacBook Pro (late 2008) in just under 35 seconds.
So... the ExpressCard device is very fast, on par with a FW800 device. However, the support for the device within Leopard is finicky at best, and on a few occasions inserting the device with a card already installed caused a kernel panic as described by the previous reviewer. User beware, and always save your work before inserting the device. I find support for Firewire-based devices to be much more mature in OS X and I've never crashed my MacBook with a firewire device. The SanDisk reader is very compact, and if you're like me and already carry a FW800 cable for other peripherals, there's really no advantage to the ExpressCard reader.
Siig Hi-Speed Expresscard 3/4 Compact Flash Reader...

Hi-speed Expresscard Cf R/w
I purchased this card to download photographs into my Macbook Pro (Early 2008).
My laptop suffered a Kernal Panic, and crashed, while Importing photos into iPhoto '08, due
to the Micron ATA chipset in this card.
Apparently, the Kext files in the System Library for Mac OS 10.5.6 are incompatible with this card...
I sent the Log Report to Apple, but haven't discussed it with Apple Care, or notified
the manufacturer, SIIG, that this particular card, which is nicely designed, and fits perfectly,
isn't functional with my Mac...
The crash was the first and only crash I have ever had with my Macbook Pro, and I intend
to return the card as incompatible.
I am sorry I can't use it, and will go back to using my Lexar Firewire Reader to download my
CF camera cards into iPhoto, in the future.

Crashes Mac OS X 10.5.6 by .. T. Jones (Oakland, CA USA)
Despite claims to support OS X 10.5, this product manages to crash it about half the time. Aside from that it's great.
