While the CF slot is short, it's a snug fit with straight in insertion. Short solid hardwired USB cable not suitable for back of a desktop but perfect for a laptop. Best portable CF reader I've used, and I've used a lot. pfjohnsonphotography.com, pfjphoto.com, Baldwin, MD

I was looking for one more as backup I see that they do make one with the external power source. Is it your own experience that a card reader with only a USB cable failed on you? Because I've been using the USB cable version of card readers for years now, and never have had any issues at all. ~Khánh - an amateur bOkeh-OLic

It's not convenient to need a power source for the card reader and having a power cord on something as light as these readers is always a pain since it goes where the power cord goes and even the weight of the cord can drop it to the ground.
