Product Description:
For multi-media fans, a Lexar Multi-Card Reader offers the most versatility. It can read them all: CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, SD and xD-Picture Card. With its USB connectivity, you can take a file from your digital camera, video camcorder, MP3 player, or PDA and move it seamlessly from the device to your computer. Small and incredibly fast, a Lexar Multi-Card Reader goes anywhere, anytime.

Amazon Product Description:
If you own a portable digital device that contains data and information, there's a good chance it stores that information on a removable memory card. When it comes time to transfer or copy that information to your computer for processing, editing, or safekeeping, you have a couple of choices. Firstly, you can connect the device directly to your computer via whatever method it supports. This could present problems, depending on the connection type and speed, the size of the device, and the durability of its connection port and the projected longevity of its batteries.

Alternately, you can remove the memory card and insert it in a dedicated card reader. Of course, you must ensure the card reader in question supports your memory card format(s) and operates at top speed. Lexar's Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is one such product.

It's definitely fast. Taking advantage of high-speed USB 2.0 connections, the Lexar system transfers data incrementally faster (theoretically up to 40-times as fast) than similar products using conventional USB 1.1. It's also quite likely compatible with whatever memory cards you currently use. Indeed, the sleek and futuristic unit supports all the following formats: CompactFlash (types 1 and 2), Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, SD Card, xD-Picture Card, MicroDrive, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD and RS MMC.

The Lexar Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is fully backwards compatible with slower USB 1.1 ports and does not require additional card adapters. A two-year warranty and free technical support are standard equipment.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- Consumers be cautious and informed...
This is the second one of these readers that I've owned in 5 years. I, personally, have not had any problems with it.

BUT

It's now 2008 and higher capacity cards are on the market because cameras, and other devices, are demanding larger capacities. Because this is an older product/design, it does NOT support the higher capacity cards!

As per my usage:
CF I & CF II --> Works up to 8 GB card
SD & SDHC --> Works up to a 2 GB card

- Great Item
Worked just like it was supposed to, right out of the box. I have an old camera that takes SmartMedia cards, and I needed it for that. Works perfect.

- Works for a while
I'm on my 2nd one of these and they both developed some sort of short in the cable. I have to wiggle the cable and turn it upside down and sideways for for it to be on. It's just not a coincidence that this happened twice. BUY ANOTHER CARD READER! Don't bother with this one or else you'll be buying another one in a few months.

This card reader is the slowest thing I have ever had! It is not well made and it copies images as slow as m molasses. I would not recommend this card reader to ANYONE!!!

If I could give it NO STARS, I would.

Rating:

- Does not work with cards over 1GB
Realiable, easy to use, but does not work with newer large format cards (works with CF cards up to 1GB, but not SD cards 2 GB and larger)
