I bought this reader/write mostly because I was frustrated at the very long time it took to download pictures from my (Olympus 340) digital camera. This device really makes it a snap, cutting what took five to ten minutes to download 100 pictures to something well under a minute. You simply remove your memory card from your camera and put it into this cigarette-box sized reader that attaches to your USB port.
I had no trouble loading the necessary software onto my laptop (XP operating system) and the reader/writer attached easily to my laptop. The instructions are clear and it is really quite easy to get your pictures downloaded in a very fast time. The reader/writer comes with a CD-disk with software needed to edit pictures.
I recommend this product highly.

I bought this along with a new Olympus camera, for all the obvious reasons (faster downloading). I'm not that enamoured with it.
The good:
- downloading is definitely faster than from the camera
- it's portable, so I can use it on any of my PC's or laptops
- I didn't have too many issues making it work
The bad
- bad driver; still not XP certified. I'd expect Olympus to have their act together in this regard
- wouldn't work with my 7-in-1 floppy drive card reader; I've had to disable that on my PC to get this to work
- doesn't like 'moving' pictures - will only 'copy' and then I have to manually delete the pictures through file manager or the camera
- I think it is slow: plugged into a USB 2.0 and transfer rates are well below par. It takes about 15-20 seconds to download a single SHQ.JPG picture (about 3.5MB)
I personally would opt for something else (e.g. a multi reader with XP certified drivers) before getting this card reader.
Happy shopping

This reader works great..after getting the driver to load on my XP Pro system. Initially, the reader was on a Windows 98 machine and was the perfect solution to read both medias. Each slot appears as its own drive on windows explorer.
The reader is simple to use and has a light letting you know if the drive is working. The information is moved quickly to the computer.

Works like a toaster.
Same as a toaster plug it in add the bread, wait, pops up and ready to eat. All you have to do is plug it in, install the software, add the card and you are off and running. Read more

A Real Pain for Vista Users
At first blush the reader's software loaded easily as did the plug-in USB cord. The computer synced with it, no problem. The fun began when I inserted my photo card. Read more
