Product Description

Amazon Product Description

If you own a portable digital device that contains data and information, there's a good chance it stores that information on a removable memory card. When it comes time to transfer or copy that information to your computer for processing, editing, or safekeeping, you have a couple of choices. Firstly, you can connect the device directly to your computer via whatever method it supports. This could present problems, depending on the connection type and speed, the size of the device, and the durability of its connection port and the projected longevity of its batteries.

Alternately, you can remove the memory card and insert it in a dedicated card reader. Of course, you must ensure the card reader in question supports your memory card format(s) and operates at top speed. Lexar's Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is one such product.

It's definitely fast. Taking advantage of high-speed USB 2.0 connections, the Lexar system transfers data incrementally faster (theoretically up to 40-times as fast) than similar products using conventional USB 1.1. It's also quite likely compatible with whatever memory cards you currently use. Indeed, the sleek and futuristic unit supports all the following formats: CompactFlash (types 1 and 2), Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, SD Card, xD-Picture Card, MicroDrive, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD and RS MMC.

The Lexar Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is fully backwards compatible with slower USB 1.1 ports and does not require additional card adapters. A two-year warranty and free technical support are standard equipment.

Product Description

Remove your memory card from your digital camera, put directly into the Lexar Multi-Card Reader, then drag and drop your files into your computer. Or, with its USB connectivity, you can take a file from your digital camera, video camcorder, MP3 player or PDA and move it from the device to your computer. This reader can read and write: CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, SD and xD-Picture Card. A two-year limited warranty comes with the reader.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with large SD cards, June 7, 2006

Tom Cat "cool GPS" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lexar Media MULTI CARD READER ( RW022-001 ) (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)

Buyer beware. This reader does not work with large SD cards. I could not get it to work with a new 4 GB SD card. My 1 GB cards work fine, but anything over that will probably not work. I confirmed with with Lexar technical support as they have not tested this yet.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away, December 31, 2006

This review is from: Lexar Media MULTI CARD READER ( RW022-001 ) (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)

I bought this reader about 6 months ago. Since that time it is hit or miss to get my computer to read the device. I have gone to Lexars website but they say it is true plug and play compatability! Really on what computer?! It is so frustrating to take photos or want to put things on a card for my palm and it does not work. I recomend buying another product and stay far away from this one!

1.0 out of 5 stars SD slot stopped working!, August 22, 2006

The SD slot stopped working last night - very frustrating. The compact flash card slot still works, though. I noticed a reviewer mentioned that it didn't work with their 4GB SD card. It did work with my Transcend 150x 4GB SD card.
