For us Sony PSP and digital camera users, this is a must-have gadget. Get this usb drive and lose that MS duo gum adapter.6/6/2006 Staff wrote:We tested the SD/MMS/XD/MS/DUO adapter with a 2GB Pro Duo and we experienced some difficulties in removing the Pro Duo from the adapter. The Pro Duo is a little too short for the adapter, so you will need your fingernail in taking out the Duo after usage.6/27/2006 Chris wrote:I found out that your card reader does NOT handle a Patriot 2GB 130x and higher cards, but ONLY 1GB and lower. I gave mine away to friends because I only have fast 2GB and higher cards, and I bought a replacement SD reader from Office Depot that does work on the larger fast cards.
Pros: It's a nice SD Card reader, and works fine for me. The best thing about this is the price! Believe, if you want to read this kind of memory card directly to USB, it's a good gadget.
Cons: This card adapter don't have a excellent build quality... Even front and back adapter is little hard to pull for connecting to an USB and the card for read. Maybe it could be more easly to take it off.
Other Thoughts: Once I brought it to read my Memory Stick Pro Duo that I use on a PSP, but IT DOESEN'T READ!!! If you want a card reader for your PSP Memory Stick Pro Duo, buy anther card reader! (Or use and MS Pro Duo to SD adaper to use on it....)
Bottomline: As I said, it's a good SD card reader and works fine, until now I have no problems using it. If you're looking for a nice and cheap SD card reader, that's the best choice!
Pros: The reader feels good quality. Nice plastic and doesn't look all that bad. Its a nice colour and fits the SD card nicely. Could easily double for a USB memory stick.
Cons: It doesn't work. Well at least for my Verbatim 2Gb card. This could be a problem with the card reader, or it just isn't compatible. Also, the reader is a little wide, but i guess that would have to be like that to fit the SD card
Other Thoughts: I would check it with my other card, but I don't have access to it yet. Also, its incredibly cheap.
Bottomline: Great cheap card reader, but bear in mind it didnt work with my card. So if ur unsure, just geddit anyway...
Pros: - Worked fine in all PCs I stuck it in- No memory built in so it can't come with viruses- Design is highly practical, the SD card slots in the rear and the cover then goes back over the top of it- has a nice red LED that shows activity- all round good build quality
Cons: - no cons
Other Thoughts: Works fine with my 8Gb 'Transcend' SD card I also bought from DX.
Bottomline: Very cheap and worth having around just as a spare. It'll save you from spending many times the price to buy it from a local tech store.
Pros: It's very small with caps on both ends. You may use the cap when the SD card is inserted, this makes it possible to use it as a USB memory stick(altough I would rather buy a smaller USB memory stick) Great value for money!
Cons: The build quality is not excellent, the caps may fall of randomly. If you plan to put a SD card and use it as a USB memory stick you would probably end up loosing both caps.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: As a card reader this is great, I'm very happy with this card reader! If you plan to use it as a USB memory stick I wouldn't buy it as the caps may fall of and it's slightly large for that use.
