Rating :      I guess I got a good one. Very handy. - Jason_m, Aug 18, 2008
My only complaint is the quality of the USB cable. My usb cable became bad due to wires breaking inside of the usb connector. Otherwise the card reader is just fine with another USB cable. I have not had it get hot and lock up on me yet. This reader with a spare microsd card and adapter came in handy lately to sneakernet some files between computers, and updating our PS3.
Rating :      You get what you pay for... - R. Walton, Feb 02, 2008
I bought this because it reads CF and SD cards, for my two digital cameras, and because it was cheap. It works fine, except that it's really hard to line up the pins for the CF card, so it takes a few minutes to insert and you risk bending the pins. It's also hard to determine which card should go in which slot without picking it up and taking a good look at the front edge where they're inserted.
Overall, pretty cheaply made, but it works fine for me so far.
Rating :      Card Reader Design flawed. - G. Rovner, Jan 14, 2008
I bought this for 2 reasons: One of the few readers that support both CF and SD memory cards, and 2. Suprisingly cheap.
Well, you get what you pay for. The design is Ok, and the SD slot works fine. However the CF slot guides are not aligned with the pins, and it's easy to insert the card mis-aligned. IMO it's a matter of when (not if) I'll insert the CF card into the slit and have it bend a pin, but for now I'll be careful. The price makes these comments almost mute.
Rating :      Reads card, but required modification: Poor design - J. Hughes, Jan 11, 2008
The unit does read the cards it advertises, however the plastic housing is designed such that the slot for the XD card is slightly too small. I had to cut out the plastic on the right side of the XD slot in order to insert the card. Once this was done, the card worked just fine. It appears that the CF slot has the same issue, but only from visual inspection since I have no CF card to test. It works, but not without some modification. They should re-design the housing to have the correct slot sizes. It's just a bad design/manufacture of the housing.
Rating :      CF socket pastic broken on first insertion - Focault Niwrad, Jan 03, 2008
the CF socket's plastic guide broke on insertion of a CF card. i've used a couple of other multi-format flash memory readers and have had no problems, so i don't think it's because i'm clumsy. (i bought this one for SDHC support.) since this was less than $3, it's probably not worth the trouble / postage to try to get a refund; rather, i'll just get a different and hopefully more robustly constructed multi-format flash reader from somewhere else.
