 Works like a dream January 4, 2009

Straight out of the box, and plug and play in the true sense of the word! And really didn't need to read any instructions! Easy to use, quick, and does what it's supposed to. Excellent!
Works with Ubuntu Linux, fast, looks better than in the ads December 12, 2008

I agree with others here, at this price this humble bit of kit is a bargain. It works perfectly with Ubuntu Linux (8.04) and I've tested it with an IBM Microdrive, five year old Fuji SmartMedia card, a two year old Compact Flash card and recent Class 6 SDHC cards, all were fine. What's more, a couple of largish test transfers (using a Lexar Professional 2GB CF card) demonstrated that it's nearly twice as fast as the three year old USB 2.0 card reader it was bought to replace.
The translucent blue case looks rather cheap and tacky in some of the advertising images. However, the casing is quite robust feeling (no flexing or creaking from my unit) and is actually a rather smart looking dark blue (less transparent than in many of the product images).
In summary, speedy, and nicer aesthetically than I was expecting :-)

Great product, affordable (and I mean really affordable) and quick to download photos from a multitude of cards.
I have tried it with SD, xD and the sony format and they are all great, it has a total functionality for 35 cards in one.
Well made, buy it.
Bargain gadget. December 2, 2008

I ordered this after being warned that pictures would take a long time (and camera battery power) to download from my new Fuji Camera (S5800)
Well, this little gadget works superbly with the SDHC cards it uses, and even with the old style SmartMedia card from my ancient FinePix 2600, which downloads at a much higher speed than simply plugging into the camera via USB as I used to.
The plastic casing on the reader is a bit cheap and easily scratched, but I can't really complain at this price! It even comes with its own short USB cable, so it's ready to go : I just plugged it into my USB port and Windows XP did the rest.
I'm pleased with this little gadget, and it arrived in the post very quickly too!
Wonderful! November 3, 2008

This is a superb little device. I use different digital cameras, and with this I don't need to install any software for any camera, I just stick the card in the reader, and it's instantly visible on my PC as a disk drive. The device is very fast, and very cheap. Who could ask for more?
