Transcend TS-RDP8K USB 2.0 All-in-One Multi Card Reader Transcend TS-RDP8K USB 2.0 All-in-One Multi Card Reader

Pros: Works good.

Cons: None

Pros: Small size. Simultaneous support of both SD & CF cards. Construction quality seems good. Cards slide in fairly easily without any feeling that you might damage the card or the connector in the unit.

Cons: Short white cable. I do have lots of other cable I could use so this isn't a big deal. No eject mechanism for any of the cards so you have to manually pull them out. CF card was a bit difficult to remove.

Other Thoughts: Seems to work well. I have tried SD, microSD, and Compact Flash cards. I almost deducted an egg for the lack of CF card eject but I left it at 5 eggs due to the low price.

Pros: Let's see CompactFlash card will not fit in slot. Small able to fit in most small pockets.

Cons: I bought this to read a compact flash drive that I have. Unfortunately the CompactFlash card will not fit into the slot. Made of cheap plastic. Wonder how long it would last if the card would fit in the slot.

Other Thoughts: Not worth sending back for a rma as the shipping would be as much as I paid for it.

Manufacturer Response:

Pros: -Small, lightweight, etc.

-Worked out of the box with win7 & win8

-Read nearly all card types expect for some of the propriety cards like Olympus

-Simple design, easy to find where to put each card as it's marked with a diagram on the top.

-Rubber pads on the bottom (if you're into that).

-Smaller, easier to use, and more portable than one you would install into a computer drive bay.

Cons: -Cord is white while reader is black (mostly just strange)

-Some of the card slots don't fit 100% perfectly so I've worried I've bent pins (I haven't).

-Doesn't feel extremely durable I imagine after a bit of use the pins will ware out.

Other Thoughts: I bought this card reader mainly to use for working with a PSP memory stick. It works fine and gets reasonable read speeds. I also use it for all of our cameras to get the pictures off. Which is nice because I don't need to download software for each camera now :)

The reader's slots aren't built for heavy duty use. I don't expect this thing to last a life time but for the 7$ sale price I won't complain.

Other Notes:
-Cord is ~12 inches
-Blue "in use" light
-Glossy finish

Pros: Has read every card I have ever put in it, every time, for the price it just can't be beat.

Cons: Did not feed my cats when asked..

Other Thoughts: I've had this for three years and its still going with no issues.

Pros: Looks good

Cons: Works sporadically and appears to conflict with other USB devices. CFC must be inserted upside down and don't fit well. Much wiggling is required to finally seat the CF.

Other Thoughts: Don't bother with this device...
