CF Adapter Reader for SD SDHC SDXC to CF Compact Flash Memory Card Type 1 Supports WiFi Card & Supports SD Card up to 128GB

This QUMOX CF Card to SD Card Adapter worked perfectly for converting two Creative Zen Vision M MP3 players with 30 GB hard drives to 128 GB Micro SD cards. (Note: The Creative Zen Vision M only recognizes ~120 GB – likely a firmware limitation.)I previously tried using a Kingspec 128 GB SSD, which had worked for converting two Zune 30’s and a Zune 80 in the past. The firmware installed successfully using the Creative firmware update utility, however, files (music or video) could only be transferred to the player in ~100 MB chunks. Any more than that, and the player would disconnect from my computer and need to be reset. Once loaded, the files would play correctly, but it was not feasible to transfer 60 GB of music and videos 100 MB at a time. I replaced the Kinspec SSD with the NOYITO CF to ZIF converter board, a QUMOX Compact Flash to SD card adapter, and a 128 GB micro SD card. The Creative Zen Vision M runs much faster with the SD card and seems to have better battery life.

While I do have modern photo equipment that uses the latest SD and Micro-SD Data cards, I have an older pocket camera that I still like better than phone cameras. And I like to keep it with me during those times when I simply don’t wish to lug around a larger camera. This product allows me to continue using my older camera with data cards that have much greater storage capacity.

lol it barely worked in windows as a removable device and passed through the sd card size but most bioses with the first form of "size query" ata commands refused to accept the reported sizes but now it shows up only as a device with no card inserted in windows even though it does the beep saying a device was just plugged inPOS device since it reports being "removable" even though 99% of devices would work better if it reported "fixed"(removable media bit should ALWAYS be "0" in this adapters firmware or an easy to use tool to flip it) let alone it barely worked as a removable device and it doesn't comply with older ata specs (reports a drive size of >10tb in bios even though no sd card exists beyond 512GB which causes drive size query overflow and lack of proper bios detection (should report no more than 2.2tb to comply with MBR limitations for retro use))recommend you do not buy this until they make drive size query report 2tb or less and removable media bit is forced to "0"(or allowed to be changed)ok the purpose of this device is for retro hard-drive replacements so working in windows as a fixed disk (removable media bit set to 0) isn't as important but setting it up prior to installing it in a retro device would be nice (making it show up as an actual internal device in firmware) so be warned you won't be able to natively partition in windows(it is possible to bypass this using a windows vm with direct disk access but that is too much work to set up solely for that)also it seems to do a very weird thing when used in a bios that tries to auto detect everything before even posting mainly seeming to report a random drive size greater than 14tb which some bioses seem to dislike (worked on a biostar am3 motherboard which is 64-bit but failed on a dell dimension 4600 which is only 32-bit) be warned your bios might not like it especially if it is a bios around the pentium 4 but only 32-bit likely will work fine in older or newer as full autodetect(large drive size causing detection failure) wasn't popular until about the p4 era but was picky until 64-bit cpusfinal edit: died when attempting to partition it for DOS use on physical hardware(complete lack of Bios detection) and then tried in a VM since it still worked in PIO mode (BIOS uses DMA/E-IDE modes) and it seemed to work during most of the install but also died at a specific DOS install point (maybe due to the seemingly 2mb ram buffer of the device filling up (found out from plugging into windows with no sd card)) this specific CF-SD device was a factory dud and it just never worked correctly maybe the brand is decent and I just got a flakey one but next time I go for a retro HDD It will be a direct SD-IDE Adapter(large storage) or a native CF-Card(Dos small drive usage)

I love it so I can use my sd card with this adapter and transfer my pictures to my computer without using the adapter.

Works well to use an SD card in an old iPod.Fair warning on one of the caveats of this adapter; if certain patterns are present in the MBR, it will NOT pass through the partition table and instead provide a fake partition table. This misfeature is likely to allow certain cameras that misuse CF cards to function correctly.This behavior can be circumvented by writing a zero byte to the very beginning of whatever SD card you put in the thing using a hex editor or dd, overwriting what was probably the value 0xEB. You have to do this outside of the adapter, though - it's not possible to do in disk mode on an iPod, for example.

Used this with a 1.8in to ZIF adapter to use flash instead of spinning rust, its a flawless, drop-in replacement for the drive, and you dont need the other cables that are included if you do it for the Creative Zen Sleek Photomy mp3 player now has 64GB of storage capability instead of the original 20GB without the need to worry about excessive shock and the longevity of the drive itself, as i can replace the SD card without problems1. disassemble the device2. remove the harddrive3. put SD card into CF card4. put CF card into slot5. align existing ribbon cable, contacts towards PCB of adapter6. reassemble the device7. flash using the playsforsure on an XP or vista machine that doesnt have WMP11 or newer8. put your music and photos onto the player as normal

I bought a 128gb micro sd with an adapter and this adapter in hopes of using it in my D700 which only has a CF slot, but it won't work. Granted the micro in an adapter in another adapter is pretty sketchy. It does work with a standard sd card in the D700. Anyway, without a card in it, the adapter top flexes considerably. you have to be gentle with it. I have one of those cases that require a little force to pop the card into. I can see this breaking if I try popping it in with my thumb in the middle.

Instead of purchasing multiple 32GB CompactFlash cards for $30 each, I was able to purchase this adapter and 3 32GB SD cards for the same price. As a side bonus, I no longer need an CF reader either!BE AWARE - While you can put an SD Card up to 128GB in this adapter, you will still need to use SD Card sizes that are compatible with your camera!

Great service!Great product.

Good price, i used it to install windows 98 on a retro computer (with a CF to IDE adapter). Used a 64GB MicroSD card with it, computer boots from the drive and works just fine, and im yet to come across any corruption errors.Fantastic

Works well on Canon 5D Mark II, one might need a few formatting attempts to format the card in camera, but it works even though the camera may first say that the card cannot be formatted (I used SanDisk 64GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I Memory Card). I have a feeling it writes a little slower than it writes to SanDisk Extreme CF card but I had no problems taking pictures in full RAW format. It was fast enough.I saw people saying it's hard to extract SDXC card from the adapter. The cards have a little notch at the end, so you can use your fingernail to catch it and then pull the card out. No issues getting the card out whatsoever.

Not much to say. It works adapting SD card for camera. Not used for filming so don't know if speed is adequate.

I've tested it in an old USB CF card reader and it was very slow. But when I use it in camera (Canon 5D mark II) it works OK. Saves pictures in camera at decent rates and downloads them to a PC at an OK rate (USB cable+EOS utility, so no speed rating). Don't have an actual CF card or a better USB reader to rate performance, but it's OK for my needs and much cheaper than even the smallest capacity CF cards. SD cards are hard to pull out but full size cards are not a problem. If you stick in an SD card adapter with a micro SD card in it, you'll only be able to pull out the micro SD card and you'll have to pull the adapter with tweezers, but if you have a micro SD reader, it might work OK for you to keep one SD adapter always int eh CF adapter and just switch micro SD cards.
