This review is from: IOGEAR Pocket Card Reader- Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader / Writer (SD/ MMC Memory Cards) Supports 8GB Capacity (GFR212SD) (Personal Computers)

IOGear card reader is really fast. I've used some other USB 2.0 multi card readers but this one is definitely faster. I went looking for an SD card reader in stores and everyone seemed to have ones which attach to your computer with a USB cable. I wanted something more portable and efficient and found this perfect for my needs. This one takes SD, SDHC and MMC cards. There is another version for micro SD and trans flash cards.

Since the SD card goes inside it you can use this like a zip drive and it gives you the flexibility to swap cards without having to erase data. It is a military green color and the cap attaches to the body with a silver thread so it won't fall off. There is a tiny spring clasp at the end if you want to hook it on to something like a key chain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke 2nd time I used it, April 18, 2008

There is a little plastic catch that ejects the SD card from this reader. The catch broke off the 2nd time I used it. It is not engineered well and definitely not sturdy. I bought a SanDisk reader to replace it and it works just as fast as the IOGEAR reader without inferior engineering. Using the Sandisk you simply pull the SD card out with your fingers. It should last for years because of the simplicity of the design. You can buy that one here also at Amazon.
