One of the only SDHC readers I found

2008-09-12
I bought a 4gb SDHC card for my digital camera, only to later find that the number of SDHC memory stick readers out there is abismal, including the one already in my PC. Note: If your existing reader doesn't say "SDHC", you (probably) cannot read that SDHC card in it.

I bought two others before finally purchasing this unit. It does a perfect job and VERY FAST (full USB 2.0). I can put my standard SD cards in here and they transfer pictures faster than on my internal SD card reader. Go figure.

There are a few posts about it being too wide to fit in narrow slots. My Dell monitor has 2 USB ports on the side. I plug this reader in one of those slots, and I am able to fit this next to my Jabra bluetooth adapter.

Invaluable -- love it!

One of my most useful tech items. It's great to have an inexpensive card reader that so small and portable -- no wires, no bulk. My only minor quibble is that I wish it came with TWO plastic covers -- one for each end, so you could both cover the SD slot AND protect the USB plug simultaneously during transport. In most situations, the the exposed SD slot probably isn't much of a problem, but if I had my druthers... anyway, as I said, a mere quibble.

Simply perfect.

This is nothing fancy - just a simple, streamlined plug and play USB card reader. It is as small as a SD Card reader could be, just a little bit wider and thicker than the card itself. If you have a computer with cramped ports, you'll want to get a USB extension.

Product is OK. Problem was the design does not lend itself for US Port (s) on neither my desktop (Dell Dell XPS410) or laptop (Gateway 450). My fault - check out your computer before buying an adapter.

Great Product with limitations

This product works very well reading SD Cards and as fast as any internal reader. The design is poor in that it limits the USB ports it can access because of the wide body of the reader. I could not use this reader on any of my desktop computers with front USB ports. This reader doesn't fit into the space allowed. It would have been a better design if they made it so it could fit like most thumb drives. The lanyard hole should have been placed in the body, again like a thumb drive. It did fit fine and work well with all my laptops. Because of the fit issues I could only give this reader 4 stars.
