Great all-in-one solution.
It's pretty cheap.


Cons: Very short USB-cable (40cm is way too short).
Light weight (gives a low-quality feeling).


Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: If you need a fast and cheap card reader/writer buy this one.

Pros: I can't even find this here.
Great idea to have an all in one multiple card reader and usb hub.
Reads SD/CF/MS cards fine.
The USB hubs are USB 2 hispeed hubs. Each has a little LED to indicate the status.
Comes with usb cable to connect to the PC. Some hubs don't come with this.
Pleasant looking, doesn't look cheap. Nice blue LEDS


Cons: None really. It works.


Other Thoughts: I can't make up 500 characters!
I can't make up 500 characters!


Bottomline: Can't beat the price. Heck, i couldn't even find this in the stores....

Pros: Very light weight, this device accepts quite a few different kinds of media cards. Using it mainly for my XD memory cards and it transfers off them much faster then from the camera.


Cons: Seems to freeze the computer for about 30 seconds when its connected, then it gets picked up and works fine.
The light weight suggests its poor quality, but haven't had anything break from it yet.
No native support for miniSD or microSD/TF.


Other Thoughts: Tried the usb ports and they seem to get picked up fine. They have the usual usb-hub limitation of 100 mAh per port, but that is to be expected.


Bottomline: Decent if you use the media it supports, works on Vista and is pretty good value


So-so

Pros: Can read pretty much any common memory card. Pretty good price. Compact enough to carry around with the laptop.

Cons: Fairly cheap build. Feels like I could break it in my bare hands. Not AC powered, as other reviews mention. The USB hub factor is questionable. Upon plugging into my laptop, I could plug in other usb devices into the hub, but the computer wouldn't recognize it. Upon looking into device manager, the USB ports were detected, but nothing plugged into it could find the proper drivers.

Other Thoughts: As far as I can tell, the hub part is not functional, or at least, not plug-and-play.

Bottomline: It's a good card reader, but it might be better to get a card reader and a hub separately.
