4.0 out of 5 stars Smart and To the Point, June 22, 2003

I selected this item because of the rebate offer that was associated with buying the product. I believe that Dazzle will honour all 3rd party rebates on their site. The product is compact and sleek, and fits nicely on virtually any desktop. I've already tested my SD and CF media and it works great. I'm not such a connaisseur of data transfer speed that I could ascertain Reader --> PC Speed, but I really don't think you could warrant spending more money for only marginal performance increase. I'm very pleased with my purchase and know now that I can accommodate all my digital media (until they come out with something new of course). One note of interest: The little contraption that the reader sits on to give that 'elevated' feel/look is actually not attached to the reader. It's a little add-on piece you use optionally. From all the pictures I'd seen, I'd always assumed it was attached. Just FYI.

5.0 out of 5 stars No fuss, August 23, 2003

No installation necessary with Window XP; reads CompactFlash and SmartMedia, the two formats that I have, without any fusses.

But note:
- There are only two slots (or drives) for all six formats. One slot is for IBM Microdrive and CompactFlash, the other is for four different formats: Smartmedia, Memory Stick, Secure Digital, and MultiMediaCard. So you cannot, say, copy data from MicroDrive to CompactFlash, or copy data from SmartMedia to Memory Stick.
So it's something to consider if you plan to copy data from one format to another. Some other brands provide up to four slots so they may be more versatile.
- The flimsy stand is a joke. I wonder why they bother to include it.

4.0 out of 5 stars problem with memory stick, July 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dazzle MultiMedia 6-in-1 Reader (Personal Computers)

The reader does not read Lexar memory stick. You have to go to the dazzle online to down load the firmware to solve this problem. I only used it to read memory stick. Don't know if it works well with other medias. However, the price is low if the mailing rebate works.
