5 stars, not for best or fastest, but because it does exactly what it advertised it would.
Plugged right up, works fine with SDHC, MS, USB and floppy so far.
The body of the device is a somewhat flexible plastic, and the conveniently placed holes took the screws I put in to secure it quite nicely.
Minimal cognitive skills are required to purchase the proper unit for your machine.
Avoid this media reader if you do not have the intelligence to recognize an MFM-floppy cable from a USB cable in a photograph, or be prepared to RMA like the others.
It should also be noted that floppy disks inserted into a floppy drive, do not typically initiate the autoplay pop-up, and may not even show up in the basic explorer menu. You actually have to click on the [Computer] icon and then select your floppy from the menu panel to the left.
I really hate to add my name in here behind all those ahead of me, who were not quite sharp enough to notice the MFM-floppy slot on the back of the reader, and the quite obvious cable in the pictures.
Someone needs to point out the obvious though.
Shame on them for wasting Newegg resources to RMA for their error, and by this raising Newegg overhead and ultimately, the cost of my next purchase.
Two devices in one bay.
Floppy part doesn't work. I have yet to get a floppy to read in it. I've tried the same floppies in other drives and they work flawlessly. I'll replace this one with a different brand since I only have one bay.
Cards load upside down. Small eject button for floppy drive.
It only assigns one driver letter for your cards.
