5.0 out of 5 starsPERFECT!
By WmS. on November 10, 2009
I picked this up because I had purchased a micro sdhc 4gb card without knowing that I needed an sdhc card reader. I picked the Iogear GFR209 because it was small and convenient and I'm very pleased I did. I don't know about the other person up here with their complaint but I've been able to read & write to 2, 4 & 8gb micro cards. I take this thing everywhere with me since it's small enough to fit in my pocket without me really noticing it. The biggest plus for me is the fact that it (not only read/writes to sdhc cards) has a short corded wire for the usb jack. This works great when room on the pc is limited. I can plug this bad boy up in the tightest of places. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who need a small portable reader/writer and more so to anyone who has a cell phone that takes a micro sd card.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks great, small size, low price
By RussellB on August 11, 2009
I had no problem reading 4GB micro-SDHC cards with this reader. It is a small size and will read all three sizes (regular, mini, and micro) of SD cards. What more could you want?

4.0 out of 5 starsBetter for Memory Sticks than SDHC cards
By Oregonian on October 26, 2009
Verified Purchase
Basic features that I bought it for:

1. Small, lightweight, and short corded as to squeeze-fit onto laptop USB port connector with the adjacent one being used as well.

2. Handle SDHC (secondary) and Memory Stick pro Duo (primary) memory cards.

Result:

Fits great, two USB Disks are identified immediately upon insertion (Windows XP)

4GB SDHC card (Sandisk Ultra II) works perfectly, but is very slow as described in another Amazon Review. Write-speed is about 1.25 MB/sec

4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (Sandisk Ultra II). Works perfectly and transfers at what appears to be flash limited speeds. Write-speed is about 9 MB/sec and read-speed is about 15 MB/sec measured by timing transfer of a 150MB file between the flash and the computer disk.

Very odd that it's so much slower with the SDHC than with the Memory Stick memory, but fortunately for me the primary use is for the Memory Sticks.

1.0 out of 5 starsDestroyed a $15 SD card
By David O. Dennett on December 22, 2010
Verified Purchase
I purchased this to copy pictures from my point and shoot camera to the computer. I only use the full size SD card. After inserting the card from the camera into the IOGear, and copying the files, upon removing the SD Card, the gold contacts on the card ripped off. Since it was an old 256MB card, I just figured it wore out, so I purchased a new 2GB card and took a couple pix. Inserted it into the IOGear, and the computer asked me if I wanted to format the card (the camera had already done that). I removed the card, and noticed a large scratch where the gold contact had been scored. I put it back into the camera, and luckily, it still worked.

The IOGear is flimsy, and the card reader slot (at least for SD cards) is way to tight, and damages the cards. I am returning it, and will not even consider risking another $15 SD card on a cheap reader.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks, Small , Inexpensive...Cool.
By A Bou on October 30, 2009
Verified Purchase
I bought this to use with my new camera. I use it with SDHC cards 8GB 10x speed and it works fine. Much faster than my old cards and reader.

If the SD cards don't slide into the slot easily there is a fix:There is a metal guide just inside the SD slot that needed bending up a bit with the tip of a small screwdriver so the cards could insert easily. No problem to do this fix. This is probably why some other reviews of this product say the cards are difficult to insert.

5.0 out of 5 starsIOGear
By P. Martinez on April 3, 2010
This Card Reader is a very useful tool and serves its purpose. It cost the same as a reader that just reads one kind of memory card. This one reads:Memory Stick,Memory Stick Duo,Memory Stick PRO,Memory Stick PRO Duo,microSD,miniSD Card,Secure Digital (SD) Card,Multi Media Card (MMC),MMCmobile,MMCplus,RS-MMC,Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC). This is a good deal. The green part of this usb is 2in. by 3/4 of an inch. It is half inch thick. The cord with the usb tip is 4 inches long. It is very lightweight and takes no space. I've had it for over a year and no problems with it. It takes about two seconds for it to upload to your computer when you plug it in, very fast. Easy to use.

1.0 out of 5 starsexactly what I needed AT FIRST
By C. Pedersen on June 11, 2010
Verified Purchase
**UPDATE**
I guess I got what I paid for. I only used this a handful of times over the last few months and it is already broken. For some reason, the slot that I utilize no longer is detected by computers when I plug it in.

**ORIGINAL POST**
I just wanted to load some photos onto SD cards to use in my digital frames. The price on this is awesome right now compared to other items I looked at. I was a little leery that it was crappy since it was cheaper, but the other reviewers seemed pleased. The item seemed like good quality. So far, so good. Just plugged it in and it worked perfectly. The transfer speed was excellent. The only thing that I think some other items might have is the ability to read CF cards, but I didn't need that.
