1.0 out of 5 stars Warning: 16-bit adapter cards are OLD TECHNOLOGY! Stick with 32-bit, April 26, 2008

I don't know why these types of cards are still on the market--they are old, slow, and obsolete. Instead, search for 32-bit Cardbus adapters such as the ones made by Viking, Delkin, or Lexar, which are many times faster but not much more expensive. And, they fit in the same PC card slot on most laptops made in the last decade. The 32-bit cards I have used are even a bit faster than USB 2.0 and Firewire.

You can spot 32-bit cards by the gold strip at the top of the card. No gold strip? Then prepare to wait an hour or more for your data to transfer, while your laptop is brought to its knees. The old silver cards may be fine for storing and playing mp3s, or may be needed for laptops made more than 10 years ago, but any large amount of data--such as GBs of photos or video-- will take quite a while to copy over. Why would you want a reader that is SLOWER than your flash media?

Didn't work in my Benz, tried everything to trouble shoot and in the end... it had to be this part of the puzzle.

I purchased this to use in a car sound system and it would never work. Unit functions fine for laptop use.
