The Price is Right - if you got it for FREEFeb 01, 2010
By NLee the Engineer I got this 10-in-1 USB 2.0 High Speed Card Reader for 'free' with the purchase of SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16GB, so I have very low expectation to begin with. With that in mind, here are my observations:
- The name '10-in-1' is a great exaggeration. Basically, this is a SD/SDHC card reader. It can also read MMC/MMC-plus cards because they are physically the same size as SD cards. So at most you can call it a '4-in-1' reader. The other 6 formats (mini-SD/SDHC micro-SD/SDHC, rs-MMC, whatever) all require adapters to be used in this card reader.
- The transparent plastic case looks pretty, but it is very cheaply made. On my unit there is a crack across the top, which was probably caused during shipping in a plain envelope.
- The USB end is wider and fatter than an ordinary USB plug (see my Customer Image). That means you cannot plug it into an USB port if any of the neighboring ports is occupied.
- The device is not recognized by my desktop and laptop computers when it is first plugged in. After much experimentation, I found out that if I remove the unit and re-insert it immediately, then it is recognized by the computer. None of my other USB card readers (including the Transcend S5 which I also got for 'free' with Transcend 16 GB SDHC) exhibited this problem.
- As a card reader, it is slow. I benchmarked a Transcend class-6 SDHC card with this reader. The read/write speed I got is about 5% slower than that obtained when using the Transcend S5 card reader.
As mentioned before, I got this item for 'free' (except for a $1.49 shipping fee), so it is still acceptable as a backup SDHC card reader. But I would be very disappointed if I have to pay good money for it.

Effective Low Cost ReaderFeb 17, 2010
By Amazon fan We were pleased to find an inexpensive card reader, but when it arrived, neither a windows Vista nor a windows 7 computer would acknowledge it.
Sending a note to the provider via Amazon resulted in immediate action and another one was sent without need for returning the defective one.
The replacement reader has proven very effective and such a prompt response from the vendor was very pleasing, taking the sting out of the original disappointment.

10-in-1 isn't the correct name for this..Feb 01, 2011
By Gabrielleh I originally purchased this item for a MicroSD chip I have. The price was great, and aesthetically the item is appealing. However, upon receiving it, I discovered it doesn't read MicroSD without some sort of adapter.
The packaging was cheaply made, and it struck me as something I'd find in a dollar store.
On the bright side, the product worked immediately when I plugged it in, and my laptop had no problems recognizing it. At least I can use it with my cameras SD card, I suppose.
Great Product For Low PriceNov 09, 2011
By Jesus Well it took a while to get to me, but it was during the hurricane so its okay, but it worked great when it got here. The only other problem was that it was not the color it said it was its black but that's okay too.
