5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, Dependable, and Inexpensive, February 7, 2009

This review is from: 10 in 1 Mini USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader Writer (Personal Computers)

I have used this 4 in 1 Memory Card Reader on Kingston, Ridata, and Transcend brands of SD cards of various capacities (512 MB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB) with no problems. Since it supports SDHC cards (High Capacity SD cards), it should work fine with SD cards of 16GB & 32GB (the maximum capacity).

Note: This card reader takes only regular SD cards. It will not take miniSD or microSD cards. As of this writing, the product title reads "... Memory Card Reader Writer SD MINISD ..." -- do not be misled! If you need a memory card reader that takes miniSD or microSD cards you can either:

1) Use a memory card adapter
For example, you can use a microSD card to SD card adapter to use your microSD card with this memory card reader. Kingston sells these microSD cards with microSD card to SD card adapters included: (i) 4GB microSD and (ii) 8GB microSD.

OR

2) Get a memory card reader designed for miniSD or microSD cards. Kingston makes one that takes all 3 types of SD cards (see Kingston Mobilelite).


It has a cap on each end; one for the USB connector and the other for the SD card slot. It has a rugged, translucent plastic casing, which feels very durable. It is also lightweight and compact.

The only fault I can find with it is that it doesn't have a lanyard or a place for attaching it to a keychain. In addition, the caps are not hinged and come off completely, so they are easy to lose.

Regardless, it works very well and it is very inexpensive. Definitely recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty device that destroyed 4 16 GB SD card of mine, no one accepted responsibility, October 5, 2009

I purchased these, with 4 16 GB SD cards. The cards were working perfectly, since I used them in my camera and my computer. As soon as I put the SD cards in these readers, they stopped working. Why? I have no idea. Then the card stopped working with other devices too. I checked all 4 readers and unfortunately they destroyed all my 4 SD cards, none of them readable by any other device.

I contacted seller. They were nice, but didn't accept any responsibility. The only thing they said, was that they will check the readers from now on to be sure something like this will not happen again. They sent me 4 new readers that are working fine, at least for the past few hours.

So, if you buy these readers, before inserting your SD card, check to be sure they are working fine. You can do it by using an old SD card without any info or picture on it. This way, you will not lose any file, but might lose the card itself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only worked once, February 14, 2008

I bought this because the port on my digital camera wasn't working with its USB cable so I needed an SD card reader to get pictures off my camera. This thing is cute and portable, but it only worked once for me and now won't hold a connection when plugged into my USB hub. Good price but I got less than I paid for.
