This inexpensive reader allows me to download images from my camera's SD memory card about 3 times faster than when connecting the camera. And No more draining the camera's batteries either.

It works like a removable drive, such as the Zip. Since you are not limited to transferring image and videos, I'm seriously thinking of buying a couple larger memory cards to use for backing up files as the speed of this is faster than my 250 MB Zip drive.

As to why I didn't give it 5 stars: The instructions for installing on Windows 98 were wrong! The directory they say the drivers are on does not exist on the CD. So, if you still have Windows 98 like I do, then ignore what the instruction sheet says and just run the setup.exe program on the CD.

Writing reviews for products I've purchased many years ago. This USB reader is still paying for itself after all these years. Great little device. Slightly on the larger side, but I purchased it several years ago, so I'm guessing they've gotten much smaller over the years.

Great for computers and laptops that don't have a SD card slot built in their devices. Just plug into the USB, and you now got a SD card reader for your computer

Just plug it into a USB port, start your computer, and it is recognized as an external USB drive. Plug in your SD card and the files are read and downloaded. I'm 100% satisfied.

Bought this item and it worked fine, until a few months later it just stopped working.

This item is not available anymore. Try the 8-in-1 SanDisk Reader-Writer.

Also, note if you're not in the US you can't buy items from the electrical store (you'll only find out at the checkout when you supply your delivery address).

Great shipping.. great item! I would buy from this merchant again! Thumbs up!
