5 out of 5 eggsVery handy and Versitle

Pros: Can handle every memory card we've had so far including the Sony Memory sticks, and the IBM micro drivers as well as the frequently used SD & micro SD card formats. There are plenty of other formats on there.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: My wife's HP computer has a built in all-in-one card reader that became intermittent and stopped working for a while. IOGEAR to the rescue until I could spend some cycles to rebuild her computer.

5 out of 5 eggsBETTER THAN USB READERS!!!

Pros: Just plug it to the usb and let windows set it up. It's so easy. Then, insert the card and open files. That's it. NEVER HAVE TO FEAR OF ANY USB DAMAGE LIKE BUMPING TO A USB READER BECAUSE IS A CABLE CONNECTION NOT A CHIP!

Cons: You can only read one card at a time.

5 out of 5 eggsVery nice

Pros: Great versatility and durability. Has lasted longer than any other multicard reader I've had.

Cons: The combined SD/miniSD slot is a little delicate. You have to be careful inserting miniSD cards or they can catch on and bend pins. Had to repair mine once.

1 out of 5 eggsSlow

Pros: It works.

Cons: I have used this several times since i got it and all I can say is it's slow. My old card reader would transfer at 20-25 MB/sec and all i get with this one is 4-5 MB/sec if I'm lucky. I am using a brand new high end computer so I don't think that is the issue.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks for me

Pros: I use it with my HTPC to view picture files and copy them to my home network server. Worked fine with xD and assorted SDHC cards. Has slot for miniSDHC so don't need adapter. Recognized immediately by Win 7 Home Premium 64 through USB hub. No problem with USB cord.
