Customer Reviews

Brilliant for those who don't want any fuss!
i have had this card reader for some 8 months now and I never fail to appreciate the speed and ease with which it does the job - I have used it on both Windows XP and MAC OS Tiger - I have not bothered to put the additional drivers on my systems and have not felt any need to explore why this might be a good idea. It does what I want and brilliantly. I am about to change to an Olympus camera with XP -M Picture Card and I trust it will do just as good a job for me with that . . . You can't go wrong.

excellent
Very fast. Easy as pie to use. I was previewing photos within 5 minutes of the postman delivering it.

Does What It Says On the Tin
Works as advertised, no problems. It's seen as a USB mass storage device in Linux (and presumably Windows) and works smoothly.

Be careful if you want to move data between different types of cards on the fly though, as (at least) one of the slots is overloaded i.e. one of the slots takes two different types of card, so sharing between them would not be possible. This isn't really a problem though, since even if you end up in this situation it's easily solvable by copying the data to your HD and then swapping cards to write it onto the new card.
