Pretec P240 USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader Pretec P240 USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader

Pros: Multi in one card reading slots

Cons: The said slots dont work most of the time

Other Thoughts: Its quite big for a multi in one, but i have seen bigger. But the problem is that the whole thing is flimsy. Plugging it in shows me 6 new volumes as being detected, (works fine on my transcend adapter).
Gets disconnected with the slightest whiff of a touch too...

Pros: Works as expect for SD card. Speed is decent.

Cons: I can't get the reader work for CF card in USB3 mode though -- my computer can recognize the CF card in the reader, but can't read any data off it, instead, the read stalled. It works in USB2 though.

Pros: Fast. Big upgrade from USB 2.0. Works exactly as advertised. Need to get a USB extension cord to reach back of my computer.

Cons: Cheap plastic

Pros: Simple and compact. Can't ask for much more.

Cons: None that come to mind

Other Thoughts: The price point is perfect for what it does. No reason to spend a ton of money on a CF card reader.

Pros: Works as expected. Zero problems with considerable speed increase over USB 2.0 Highly recommended given the price! Amazing value.

Cons: None.

Pros: I read another reviewer saying "cheap and halloe (SIC they probably meand "hollow")" - any you know what...the proce is cheap and it is hollow - the adaptor that you use to plug in into your usb port clips into the bottom so you won't lose it. Very versatile

Cons: it sticks out far from the port and is easy to bump into - which means there could be data transfer issues it if you bump into it.

Other Thoughts: for what it does and for the price it is a good little accessory

Pros: Build Quality is very low, it feels pretty cheap and hallow, its very small as well and the USB adapter that comes with it is just that, a small adapter, no cable so if you need length make sure to get a 3.0 compliant cable. The Input side is not a usb, meaning the adapter that plugs into the device is an odd plug I am not familiar with, which has a standard 3.0 usb port on the opposite side that will plug into the computer. So, a usb to usb adapter or cable cannot be used directly into the device, you must use the adapter that came with it so take care of it and dont lose it, its so tiny. You will have to plug your extension cable ( if you need one ) into the adapter if you want greater length.

30gb in 29 minutes transferred from my mirco SD card to the PC. Not bad at all. No firmware needed, plug and play. All types of SD card accepted, big and small.

Cons: The build quality is the only con I can think of. For this price, a usb 3.0 micro sd card reader is pretty darn good. It feels cheap but it seemed to get the job done without a problem.
