I repackaged mine and returned it to Amazon for a refund. The CF slot was practically unusable, as the opening is too wide and it was challenging to get the card lined up with the pins.
I only have SD and CF media cards, but the device wouldn't recognize either of those. There are indicator lights for each slot, and when I would plug the card in, the light would go on, but Windows XP never recognized the card.
As far as I could determine, the only slot that worked on this piece of junk was the USB port. For $18 I would have expected better quality.
No drives appear in My Computer and there's nothing in Device Manager. I might have figured it was just a defective unit, but the drive seems poorly manufactured.
Everything about this device stinks of cheap manufacturing. My advice: stay away.
It probably works well if you have the proper interface. It has a plug with 4 pin holes over 5. I didn't have such an interface on my motherboard (Dell Dimension 8300)and couldn't find a USB expansion card that did so I returned it to Amazon. I wound replacing my floppy drive with an Ultra combination floppy and media drive(link below) and a USB expansion card with a 4 pin interfce because DEll omitted to provide a 4 pin USB interface on my motherboardInternal Media Drive Black.
It's good
