|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Can this CF reader be daisy-chained? Michael Stevens, Photographer Phoenix | AZ | USA | Posted: 9:55 PM on 04.19.08 ->> http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2015)-SDDRX4-CF-901-SanDisk_Extreme_FireWire_Reader.aspx It doesn't say and I can't see a photo of the back. I'm kinda doubting it but I wanna get two if they can be daisy chained. Thanks, Mike  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have connected four card readers this way to "ingest" cards via Photo Mechanic.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The Sandisk Extreme readers and a firewire hub? What is the smokin' fast hardware combo for multiple cards these days?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It is screaming fast. As far as using 2, it's so fast that I haven't ever considered adding a second. If you have a firewire port you will bot regret this reader. Just keep one thing in mind. I haven't had any luck getting this to work on my laptop. The laptop has a 4 pin port and the reader is supplied with a 6 pin cable and a FW800 cable. Even when I tried a 4 to 6 pin converter it didn't work.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Guess what the 4-pin doesn't supply to the reader? If you follow the Big Kahuna's advice, most hubs are powered (via a separate power supply). But that's kind of clunky to bring along with a laptop. Solution: try a UDMA PC card. There are a couple of them out there, and they're almost as fast as FireWire. http://sportsphotoguy.com/delkin-cardbus-32-udma-we-dont-need-no-stinkin-fi.../ Chuck  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have used 3 and 4 readers at one time without the external power supply. http://tinyurl.com/2t9o3d  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Most hubs in the PC world are adapter-powered because hardly any PCs have powered FireWire ports. :) Here's the one I use: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=196166  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The only one I've seen only has 3 total ports, providing for just 2 readers to be attached.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
