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.

Pros: works great as a usb stick for my avi/divx media player, which is the reason i got it really, people keep going on about the build quality, but tbh as long as you dont stand on it or something it should be fine, ive seen worse xD
i like the cap that covers the SD, keeps the dust off, usefull if your reader is sat in a media player most of the time :)
 
Cons: ...now for the con, the reader isnt recognised by my PC/XP *heard a few people mention this on DX*, its ok for me as i have another reader to put files on my SD, i dont think the SDHC reader is faulty as it works fine in my media player, but no matter what drivers/fixes i try, the reader just wont be recognised on my PC...but like i said, as i use this mostly in my media player it isnt a big deal, though it will be for others!
 
Other Thoughts: its really good, excellent price, runs awesome in my media player...sadly isnt recognised on my pc no matter what i try :(...over all though i like it :)
 
Bottomline: excellent, and even if you only use it as a usb stick like me its still worth it at this price...btw, mine is pink, and the colour aint as bad as you might think :P

Realy High Speed!

Pros: 1) Compact. No cable needed
2) High Speedy. In my Trancend 16 Gb class 6 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11299) read 16 Mb/s write 9 Mb/s, testfile 1,5Gb. I think with more highspeedy card it can give 22,5 Mb/s (150x)
3) Price!
 
Cons: Build quality is not ideal. Top cover is fixed, but bottom isn't. You can easy to lose  it.
 
Other Thoughts: I use it for my Foto Camera. MMC/CF/Memory stick and others i don't need. Universal Card readers are not for me. If you need only SD/SDHC this is best choice on this site
 
Bottomline: I like it

Good device

Pros: I have many SDHC cards, and two old computers (a desktop and a notebook) and it makes easier to change data between them, since none has a onboard card reader. Good speed, shape looking good, the card keeps safe locked inside it. I've tested with 4, 8 and 16Gb cards and all of them works fine.

Cons: I use to be careful with my gadgets, but it seems to be weak, I think that any hit can broken it, but I don't want to prove this theory...

Other Thoughts: At first look, it seems to be bigger than necessary, but it doesn't overlap the USB ports near it.

Bottomline: I'm happy with my cardreader, it worth the money and seems to work fine always. I use it as my pendrive.

work better than other sdhc card readers

Pros: This card reader reads really fast. I have a sdhc memory card which writes around 7MB per second however it can write around 13MB per second with this card. It also reads and writes much faster than if I put the memory card directly into my laptop.

Cons: the retractable cap at the end to cover the memory card will become loose if you have used it extensively like me. so the built quality is not that good.

Other Thoughts: none at the moment,

Bottomline: there are much cheaper sdhc card reader out there however if speed is your main concern then this is the card for you.
