After years of having an internal multi-format card reader I was dreading needing to get an external one. I read up on a dozen different models and decided the price and good reviews of this one made it worth taking a chance. I am using it on an iMac with 3 card sizes: SD, CompactFlash, and MicroSD. All work great. Hooking it up was instant. The transfer rate is spectacular especially when not hooked up through a USB hub.
Do I wish the cards were easier to get back out? Sure, but they're only a fraction more awkward to get out than my internal card reader and no worse than any other external model. It's nice to be truly pleased with product.

Just putting out word that almost 4 years later this is still working great. Cheers!

Out of box, this card reader DID NOT work with my Transcend 8GB CF cards. I contacted tech support and requested a firmware update if it was available. After the update, this reader works flawlessly.
I give it a 4 star because Kingston didn't bother to make this update (dated July 2008) publicly available. Tech support needs to give you access to their password protected site in order to download it. Kind of a pain but the installation was easy.

I own two of these, and the way you have to slide the parts back and forth is different then any other card reader I've own or seen, so I thought a video review would be helpful.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Small but effective
Takes up virtually no space on my desktop and saves the hassle of trying to find the card reader slots on my tower which sits in a cubby below the desk. Read more

upload fast
Had other digital uploaders and this has been the fastest. I uploaded over a 1000 pics in no time at all. It is large but I do not travel with it so that is ok.

A Grade A Memory Card Reader. Especially for CF cards this is A #1, because the card goes well into the reader.

Junk
This thing did not work well at all. I ended up junking it after a few tries. It actually ruined one of my compact flash cards.
