If you use Windows XP SP2 and want to take full advantage of this amazing Sandisk product, you need to read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 885222. It explains how Firewire was crippled by SP2 and provides a patch to correct the problem. I hope this helps you!

I was really excited about this bundle because of the large card capacity, professional performance, and the super-high speed reader bundled with it, all for a reasonable price.
However, I had to return the product. Why?
Because the Firewire reader requires a *powered* connector (the reader draws its power from the computer, it does not have an independent power supply). The device will connect to either a FireWire 800 9-pin connector or to a FireWire 400 6-pin connector, but NOT to a FireWire 400 4-pin *unpowered* connector, which is what most laptops have (Apple MacBooks excepted).
That in itself is not the reason for the poor rating I gave this product. The reason for the poor rating is that nowhere is this mentioned on Amazon's product description page.
