  Is there an alternative to the Sony SxS memory card reader/writer?

  Posted by Harvey Zinc on March 7, 2008 at 5:50 pm

  The Sony SBAC US10 needs external power, which makes it awkward on location. Is there an alternative reader/writer that is powered through the laptop available yet?
  Thanks,
  Harvey Z

  I have just bought one which is powered by the USB ! reads 34/55 pin cards…It will no doubt be Slower than the $243 SONY alt. here is the link if you want to take the
  leap..

  Hey Guys,
  Just came across this… has anyone tried it? Looks like it should be a viable solution for $45?

  You should search the forum.
  “Viable” depends on your firmware.
  MxR, MxM, Hoodman, with good SDHC cards (Sandisk Extreme Class 10, ATP Class 6 are examples).

  What you link to seems to be a CF card reader that can link to an Express bus. EX doesn’t use CF cards (unless you’re using ConvergentDesigns add ons).
