The SanDisk SDAD-38-A10 CF to PC Card Adapter is very nice, works perfectly for playing my compact flash cards in my new Honda Civic SI. Really works great, not cheap at all, feels substantial. from Amazon.com This specific combo (PC Adapter and 2GB CF Disk) buy will work in the PC card slot within your Honda CR-V. Make sure you also buy the Sandisk 12 in one read/writer from your local store i.e. Staples etc. from Amazon.com Although the owner's manual for my 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid says that SD cards are okay, I tried the SD card adapter (Sandisk 6-in-1) with both Ultra II and regular SD cards, but I got a "Media Error" every time. I changed the formats from MP3 to WMA and back again, made sure that WMA did not have a variable bit rate, and even made sure that no songs played at more than 192kbs. from Amazon.com I bought this device to offload photos from a CompactFlash (CF) card to my laptop. The alternative is a USB device which would read different card types but would have to be carried separately. The SanDisk CompactFlash PC Card Adapter does the job conveniently by fitting into the laptops PC (strictly PCMCIA) slot and becoming a part of the computer, always available for instant access. If you are sure that you will mostly only use CF cards this is a good way to go. from Amazon.com Extremely slow transfers when they can work at all. Hangs My Computer nearly every time. Using a 2GB Sandisk Ultra2 card . Back to USB transers for me from Amazon.com Extremely slow transfers when they can work at all. Hangs My Computer nearly every time. Using a 2GB Sandisk Ultra2 card . Back to USB transers for me from Amazon.com I sounds like it's abrading the slot on my computer when I remove it. A smooth or brushed finish would have been better in this regard. The only other thing I can say about it is that the SanDisk SDDR-64-768 Compact Flash to PC Card Adapter seems to be the same thing but is currently $10.24, $2.75 less than this one. from Amazon.com I went through 4 different brand name PCMCIA Cards till I bought Sandisk's. It was the only one that would work in my new Honda Civic Hybrid MP3 player. from Amazon.com Backing up even half a gig of RAW files from my camera can take about 5 times as long than using the camera itself. So, I rarely use this anymore. It's handy if I have to get just one or two photos off a card, but for full backups, I use Sandisk's USB CF reader. I can't speak for the multi-card readers they make, but the old CF reader is the way to go if you're looking for the best performance. from Amazon.com This adapter is slower than my Canon Rebel XT. I measured about 1 MB/sec with the SanDisk Ultra II 2.0 GB card - close to the speed of USB 1.1. Do not waste your money. from Amazon.com
