Relying on a budget card reader can leave your cards, your cameras and your PC open to unwanted files and lost images. We have been using Lexar cards and card readers for over 4 years and have never encountered any problems. Ideally the 12 in 1 reader remains connected to your PC and then stays ready to download images on demand.
With all of the different types of memory cards available today, the Multi-Card Reader is the most versatile solution for transferring files to your computer.
Compatible with CompactFlash, Microdrives, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, SD and xD-Picture Cards. USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps, 40 times faster than USB 1.1. It's a much faster way to transfer data if you have this newer technology in your computer, and it's backwards compatible with older USB ports.
