1.0 out of 5 stars Broke within hours, November 6, 2009

This reader was very easy to use for the couple of hours that it worked. The write speed is slower than more expensive readers, so it took absolutely forever to download about 45 minutes of HD video (to be more precise, it took 3 hours). I imagine that's what killed this little device, though I can't be certain. It just stopped working. For a buck, this would probably be a good investment if you're storing data or pictures or anything other than video. I'll probably get another one just to see if it was a fluke, but I'm pretty irritated at the moment.

Works right out of the box! Bought this to supplement an SDHC memory card. Although my digital camera supported SDHC, the internal card reader of my laptop was not compatible with SDHC despite software updates and enhancements to support SDHC. The moment I installed this on my laptop, it immediately recognized it and started downloading the pictures from the SDHC card. Its very handy and its fast too! It is USB 2.0 and can be used with a regular SD, MMC, and MicroSD (regular & high capacity). Nothing to complain about. It has a light indicator to let you know that you are connected with your PC. Overall, a wonderful experience with this product and the seller (eforcity). I highly recommend this if you have a PC that is not compatible with SDHC.

I just now tested this out with a 4GB file copy in Linux, and it works perfectly.
It is able to move the data to the level I would expect for my superfast 16GB class 10 Adata SDHC card.
The reader also has a neat little retainer that keeps the cap that covers the SDHC card attached to the reader itself when it is opened.
A word to those unfamiliar with these retainers is that you need to be careful the first time you pull that cap off to insert your SD card, or you will snap its retaining clips right off.
Just as long as you exercise a little care in pulling that cap rearward, it will stay put as you insert your card, then snap it back over it.
I like the retainer, since it ensures that little cap does not get separated from the reader, and the reader is well built, more solid than most other similar sized readers, with the cap that covers the USB plug having a very good snap that keeps it in place.
Another small matter with this reader that makes it appeal to me is that it works unusually well with Linux, with even the LED on it turning off when I give the eject command to the reader.
Trust me when I say that a lot of SD card readers work poorly with Linux, with some failing in mid-copy, not having their LED shut down upon the eject command, and pitifully slow I/O.
This card reader is one of the best out there, and I will get more of them if I purchase more SDHC cards.
