What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Great but fragile!

Pros: Compact size
Easy of use
Fast transfer rate
Direct plug-in
 
Cons: Fragility :
Despite the body itself is not so fragile, I use the CF card reader and I already bent two or three of the pins. One broke when I tried to put it up again. Hopefully half of it remain intact and the reader still work (I used it maybe four times..)
I think that the other readers (I mean, those for other types of card) are much more robust.
 
Other Thoughts: The LED of mine is weak and green, I wished I had Alfredo's blue one ! ;)
 
Bottomline: Very cheap, very efficient!
CF reader (the only one in which I am interested) is very fragile, because of longs and easily bendable pins.

Pros: English - Portuguese
Tranfer rate - Taxa de transferência;
Appearance - Aparencia;
Size - Tamanho;
 
Cons: Fragile Body - Corpo Frágil
Blue light while connected, i hate this light - Luz azul quando ligado, eu odeio essa luz.
 
Other Thoughts: Card types:
TransFlash, Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, XC, SD, MiniSD, MMC.
 
Bottomline: Less than a common pen.
The body seems a little fragile, but nothing that might hinder its use.
Thetransfer rate is really good, can be used as a common storage unit.
Anyway, I think a good buy.

Pros: Before it stopped working, it was good and seemed to have fast transfer rates. Nice and compact with all slots easily accessible. The USB plug was long enough to plug into tight fitting USB ports on my laptop.
 
Cons: The USB plug is plastic so not sure how long it would last.
The unit got really hot after a few minutes (maybe because mine was faulty).
It worked for abut a few minutes before died and now no longer works (DX have happily replaced it)
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Good if you get one that works.
We will see how it goes second time around.

Pros: This unit is really small, and it reads my CF cards, for that size (and price!), its just what I wanted to avoid many different cables.
It works on both Windows and Mac, without any drivers (I have not tested on older Ws systems or Mac Os prior to X).
Can be carried along w/my digital camera
 
Cons: Plastic a bit cheap, but as many other reviewers said, at this price who cares!
On Os X, only reads 1 card at a time. You have to eject device and replace card to read a different card.
 
Other Thoughts: Its very fast (USB 2.0) and reliable, it worked Ok on my MacBook (Os X)
 
Bottomline: Buy it, really CHEAP and it just work!
