5.0 out of 5 stars GE 8-in-1 card reader/writer (Target), November 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: GE JasHO97936 10-in-1 Card Reader/Writer (Electronics)

I have no experience with card readers, had a borrowed Olympus digital camera and needed to read the smart card in it. Bought this on a whim at Target for $25 and it worked fine from the first time I used it. My only problem was I kept getting notification it was using a slow USB connection. Found out that required a download for XP SP1 to rectify, so it had nothing to do with the reader. Have since gotten a Sony DSC-10 and this reader reads the Sony Memory Stick & Memory Stick Pro just fine -- and it's at full USB 2.0 specs, AFAIK. I can copy files, write to the stick (I've even used it to transfer regular computer files between computers), make directories on it, etc.
Based on my previous experience (none), this unit is flawless, maybe that means it's GREAT ??

This review is from: GE JasHO97936 10-in-1 Card Reader/Writer (Electronics)

I got this thing as a wedding gift. I attempted to use it after returning from my honeymoon. It completely corrupted the memory card and of the 80 pictures on the card, only 12 were readable. The camera then could no longer read them either. It's bad enough that it destroyed a $30 memory card, but it lost all of my honeymoon pictures which are irreplaceable. I've had some poor products before, but this one goes down as the worst of all time.
