5.0 out of 5 stars Really good SDHC reader, October 16, 2009

Not much to say here, but that I really liked that it is only slightly larger than a thumbdrive, and it feels reasonably durable.
It also works quite well with my 16GB SDHC card.
The main thing I like about it is that it handles SDHC (4GB or larger) cards perfectly, and it works great with Linux, with even the LED shutting off when the reader is given the eject command.
That last point is a bit niggling, but it really is nice to see that this manufacturer has hardware that works so well with the "red-headed stepchild" of operating systems, as almost no other makers produce readers that do that.
I would definitely buy more of these if I get more high capacity cards.
Great deal, great performance, great reliability.

I bought this to replace an old sd reader. It worked fine for about a week and then it slowly started to not function. I have to reinsert it into my usb port over and over and finally it gets recognized. I have tried this on three different computers all have the same problem.

I love this thing! I keep it right in my case so that I can upload pictures anywhere. It's also nice because it has covers on both ends for better protection and durability.
