5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Family Vacations to Collect Photos from Everyone, January 2, 2009

By	dugn (Duvall, WA United States) - See all my reviews

It's simple. It doesn't load or require a driver on any system I plug it into. It's a perfect, tiny device that reads every card I throw at it.

Bonuses are that the cable separates from the reader (prevents breakage and makes it easier for trips). It's small and flat (smaller than a deck of cards), works on every computer - and its faster for transferring photos than any camera connected directly to a computer.

There are 56 different cards supported with the 5 holes to insert memory cards. Many are supported by inserting the memory card upside down - which may have been a problem for one reviewer. Be sure to read the instructions or wince at the tiny markings by each hole. And be sure your card isn't meant to be inserted upside down (like an SD card) before giving up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, September 22, 2008

4.0 out of 5 stars SDHC & CF cards reader, February 11, 2009

By	T. Noone "T.Noone" (CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to read and write to larger SDHC cards and it work as needed.
It worked on a 4gb and 8gb micro SDHC cards. It worked with an SD adapter AND it also worked with the microSDHC side slot on both of them.
I also bought the Kingston 133x CF card in 4gb and 16gb. It worked fine for the 4gb , BUT did not recognize the 16gb card. The 16gb card worked fine when used with a cardbus to CF adapter.
I like the fact that the cable is not attached and it uses a standard miniUSB cable (included). It feels well built. I have been using it for over a week now.
