"Simple and effective"

This small USB device reads the SD cards from my cameras in a flash -- Windows shows the files & folders almost the instant the card is inserted. It's tiny and lightweight, roughly the size of a USB Thumb Drive.

Simple and to-the-point, this reader does exactly what it's supposed to. My only issue will be keeping track of the end caps & not losing them. 5 stars

"Wouldn't read my SD cards"

For some reason, each time I insert either of my 2 SD cards in this reader, a notice appears on my computer screen stating that the card needs to be formatted before it can be used. Since one of them is filled with my photos, I obviously am not going to format it and delete them so I am unable to use this reader with it. The other card--a Sandisk 2.0--is blank, but when I try to format it, I get another on-screen notice stating that Windows XP is unable to complete the formatting. Using a card reader which came free with the Sandisk card (purchased from another vendor,) the "need to format" pop up does not appear and I have no trouble reading from and writing to either of the 2 cards. I have no idea why this is happening, but this reader is useless to me and I will be returning it for a refund. 1 star

"a compact, economical SD & SDHC reader/writer"

One of the smaller SD/SDHC USB readers out there. It really is only a bit bigger than a thumb drive (and doubles as one when used with an SD or SDHC card). Reads and writes my SD and SDHC cards with no problems at all. It works great with my MacBook and iPhoto. I really value this little guy. 5 stars

"Cheap, Fast & in Control"

I bought four of these, one for each family member to use with our new LG ENV2 phones. They all work perfectly and are extremely convenient for creating content in iTunes & Quicktime for custom ringtones, music and videos. 5 stars

"Overall Good Item"

Feels a little weak structurally, but that's something easily overcome. It's a flash card reader, so it's Plug & Play on PC's. There are two caps [one on each end; for the USB metal and the card slot] which is nice, but I'm afraid I'm going to lose one of them eventually. Only complaint is that it's a little fragile to the touch, but it hasn't shown signs of breakage yet, so I can't complain. 4 stars
