This product has actually been one of my favorite digital gadgets for an odd reason, I find it to be an absolutely beautiful design. Does it work? Of course, thus the five stars. The defining feature of the Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card reader is that the central part of the unit slides in and out of a protective shell that keeps it from damage.
There's a nice dongle USB cord that you plug into your computer, television, etc. The dongle is another defining feature as it allows you to plug the unit in without the fear that it rubbing against something will snap the USB port out.
This is one product that really has no drawbacks, the only thing that may be a drawback is that you'll likely need to use it less and less and everything seems to be saved in the cloud and or streamed to the devices from which we enjoy media. But, if you work with transferring data of any kind, this is a great product to own.

We've got a few digital cameras, and bought this because some of the cameras don't charge while they're hooked to a computer, and hence can run out of juice while you download pictures onto the computer.
On the bright side, we've used this with SD and SDHC cards, and it works just fine. No problems getting it recognized by our Windows 7 computer, and it doesn't disconnect in the middle of transfers or anything unpleasant like that.
Originally I bought this because it supports USB 2.0 and I thought "great! it'll be much faster." It was only after I tried it and did a little reading that I realized the problem isn't the drive speed, it's how slow the memory cards you put in are.
For example, we have a bunch of Class-2 and class-4 memory cards. the transfer rate of these cards is the class in megabytes per second.
So, let's say you have 10 gigabytes (GB) of pictures and movies on a class-2 card. You transfer roughly 10,000 megabytes (MB) of data, at a rate of 2 MB/second. That's 5,000 seconds to transfer the pictures and movies in a perfect world, or MORE THAN AN HOUR.
The drive is worth having for such transfers, because it doesn't tie up your camera. However, it's still slow, again, not the drive's fault.
Pro:
- small, unobtrusive, solid
- not bad looking
- large variety of media accepted
- cheap
Con:
- it won't make your slow memory cards any faster!
Perfectly reliable for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I bought this device slightly over a year ago and it still works.
I transfer files at least once a month; either for transfering pictures from my dslr's Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card (TS32GSDHC10E) or my phone's SanDisk microSDHC 32GB Flash Memory Card, Black, SDSDQM-032G-B35 (Retail Packaging) to upload/download files.
I have had no problems for either one. I don't use any other cards so I can't tell you how it works for the other cards but the one's I use it for are the most popular for electronic's.
It's simple to use, just plug the reader into your computer's USB slot then push your card into the reader. If it's the first time your card is being "read" by the computer, it will need to install the driver from the card so it will take a minute or so before it opens up the window showing the card. If not, it usually takes a few seconds before it pops up. You know that the card is being read by the red light on top of the reader that glows/flashes when your card is put in correctly. Sometimes I need to push the card in and out a few times before the red light goes on so it's not perfect but it always reads after a few attempts.
I'm surprised at the price of the device now at $72.98. I'm pretty sure I bought it when it wasn't a "Today's Deal" or Cyber Monday and found the price to be excellent at $13.52. It's a great reader so if you are willing to invest your money in it you won't be disappointed but I am glad I got it at such a great price.
Btw, I have never tried to use more than one card at once in the reader as I have no need to but since it's a reader I assume you can use multiple cards at once.

I purchased the Kingston 19-in-1 Media Reader to replace an older Stratitec card reader that I had been using for several years. The Stratitec just stopped working one day and although I don't know why, I chose the Kensington 19-in-1 to replace it.
This media reader works great for me. I'm not particularly thrilled with the sliding mechanism, but the performance of the media reader cannot be faulted. Presumably the intent of the slide mechanism is to enable you to slide the media back into the shell during transfer operations to help protect against accidental bumping of the media itself.
It handles just about every type of digital media format you can throw at it and certainly will handle the most common formats with ease and reliability. I use it mostly for Compact Flash, SD, SDHC and microSD.
It's USB2.0 so is relatively speedy and the included extension cable for the attached and very short primary USB cable makes it work with your desktop as easily as with your laptop.
Highly recommended and a terrific bargain. Just make sure it will accept the exact media type you need before purchase so you won't be disappointed. Clearly it doesn't read every form of media on the planet but it reads many... 19 in fact. According to Kensington, it supports: MMCmobile, SD, SDHC, MMC, MMCplus, RS-MMC, MiniSD, miniSDHC, microSD, microSDHC, MMCmicro, CF Type I and II, Microdrive, MemoryStick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, MemoryStick Micro (M2)

A Good Buy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2012Verified Purchase
I purchased the Kingston Media Reader/Card Reader because my new HP laptop doesn't have a slot for the Sony Memory Sticks I use in my camera. The card reader arrived ahead of schedule and all I had to do was unwrap it, plug it in to my laptop, insert the memory stick and enter the destination folder for my photos. Easy peasy - job done!
It's a good buy because it's easy to use and doesn't cost a fortune.

This was purchased as an update for a similar product bought several years ago as it provided some additional card formats the older one did not support. The working components slide forward as a unit within an outer shell for use and back for storage. This mechanism is sometimes inclined to be a little 'sticky' and may need to be pushed or pulled a bit harder to get it to release.
On the whole, it does the job it was designed for and appears to be reasonably solidly built
