I have a Sandisk USB 3.0 card reader like the one below:
It works great over USB 3.0 with my Sandisk SD cards, getting 80MB/s+ speeds, but when I put my Sandisk CF cards in it, the light on the unit flashes blue and nothing comes up on my computer. These same CF cards work fine if I plug my camera into the computer with them in it, but not in the reader. Another weird quirk, when the CF is in the Card reader, my File Explorer loads really slowly, and Disk Management won't load at all.
The CF card will work fine, if I plug the reader into a USB2 port. If I unplug, and replug it into another USB 3 port, it will show up that one of the removeable drives has something in it, but won't give any other info, and if I try to go into it just loads forever and doesn't get anywhere.
I've contacted Sandisk Support 3-4 weeks ago and never got a reply, so I'm posting here to see if any has had this problem before, or knows of a solution?
