Review for SanDisk - Flash memory card 8 GB - Class 4 - microSDHC with MobileMate Micro Reader:
It is a bit hard to take the card out of the reader. Would not recommend you do it too many times in a day as the connections seem a bit flaky.

Review for SanDisk - Flash memory card 8 GB - Class 4 - microSDHC with MobileMate Micro Reader:
Some issues
Bought the card and reader to share files between PC and the MDA Vario 3. Works well under Vista and on the MDA Vario 3. However in some not so old XP machines the card would not be recognised. So can't use it as a universal pen drive as was the intention.It is a bit hard to take the card out of the reader. Would not recommend you do it too many times in a day as the connections seem a bit flaky.

Works as advertised
I've used this with XD, SD Ultra II and MS cards and it has performed fast and flawlessly. I've had it a few months and it appears to be well made and small enough to take anywhere in your briefcase or camera bag.4

Review for SanDisk ImageMate 12in1 USB 2.0.:
Works with Vista
Nowhere on the packaging does it say whether or not it works with Vista. I can report that just plugging it in on a Vista Business machine gives 4 removable drives just fine. I didn't bother with the CD so can't comment on the button. Read my 1gb CF card just fine though. Very happy.5

Excellent quality but slow to load
Out of all the portable memory card readers I own (I own quite a few) this is my favourite. I like the protection the reader provides for the cards with them fully encased under the designated flaps on either side. The eject tabs inside make for easy removal while the functionality means you can use all 3 card slots simultaneously when plugged in. The fact it can read SDHC definately boosts its rating. The only problem is it is my slowest memory card reader to load. Once it's loaded it's fine but if you are attempting to read a memory card you have to wait a good length of time from plugging it in before the additional drive letters appear on your computer. This can be extremely irritating when you know you could use another memory card reader and have instantaneous access to your data.9

Review for Kingston Media Reader - Card reader - 19 in 1 ( CF I, CF II, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MMC, SD, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD, RS-MMC, MMCmobile, microSD, MMCmicro, SDHC, miniSDHC, MS Micro, microSDHC ) - Hi-Speed USB:
The device appears on your PC as five removable drives, one for each of the card slots, and it was quick to recognize and load the cards that I tested.
The only slight weakness is that the built in USB connector is on a very short lead, which may not prove practical if your USB ports aren't located near the front of your PC/laptop. However, an extension lead is provided with the card reader, so this isn't really an issue: just an extra cable to carry around with you.
All in all, given the price, portability and performance of the device, I'd have to say that it's excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Great Value Card Reader
To date, I've used this card reader to read both CF cards and microSD cards and the transfer speed is impressive: transferring a mixture of JPEG and RAW images from a 4GB (133x) CF card took less than four minutes, which is about 18MB/sec.The device appears on your PC as five removable drives, one for each of the card slots, and it was quick to recognize and load the cards that I tested.

Review for Kingston 15-in-1 - Card reader - 15 in 1 Hi-Speed Card Reader/Writer:
I managed to fix the damage the first time round and the card has gone without problems into the camera and into a Sandisc reader and the integrated reader in my notebook, just not this reader, which will go on the junk-heap before it damages any more cards;
maybe I am unlucky, but be forewarned of the possibility.

damages my SD cards
this reader may be fast but it has been physically damaging my SD cards when inserting them into the slot; the cards do not go in smoothly and the small plastic separators on the contact end have been caught and bent several times, i.e. each time I have tried to insert the card;I managed to fix the damage the first time round and the card has gone without problems into the camera and into a Sandisc reader and the integrated reader in my notebook, just not this reader, which will go on the junk-heap before it damages any more cards;

Great card, useless adapter
This is a minute SD card, and it gives my Nokia N95 phone an amazing 2GB for storing music - about 500 songs.It does however completely fail to work with the adapter. I've tried it in about 5 different machines, and it's failed in all of them. It will only work in the phone and to a PC via a USB connection - slowing it down, and making it a lot less useful.
I'm also stunned that it costs £6 for postage - when it arrived it just had one second class stamp! Why so much?
Alas, as I need to use it in an SD slot, I've now had to go out and buy another card, and I've thrown this rather pointless one away.
