Nice. High quality build.

Strengths: Detachable mini USB cable. Updated version. USB 2.0

Weakness: Could support a more formats.

Very nice reader. It looks like this one is an updated version of their old reader to support faster read/write speed. Cable can be detached making it easier to pack. Micro and Mini SD cards will need adapter. Bright LED light for read/write. Made of plastic but tougher than other cheap readers. I bought it for $10 so great price!!

Quality Memory Reader from Kingston

Strengths: Compact Size; Inexpensive; High Speed; Versatile (handles many different memory formats); Detachable USB cord

Weakness: None

In my experience, Kingston makes quality products, and this memory card reader is no exception. It's not a fancy device, but there's much to be said for its simplicity. This card reader does its job, and it does the job well. The reader is small (roughly the size of 1.5 card decks) and the USB cord is detachable. These two factors make the card reader easy to store and very portable. The card...

Vesatile Kingston Card Reader

Strengths: Supports 15 different formats, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed data transfer, portability.

Weakness: Build quality could have been better.

This card reader is ideal for transferring images or other data from your memory cards to your computer. I have used it for transferring data from CompactFlash, SD, SDHC and Memory Stick Duo Pro with out any problems. If only Kingston could have done a better job on the quality it would have been the best card reader.

Great Value Flash Card Reader

Strengths: Support all popular card formats. Very compact.

Weakness: None significant.

I bought this card-reader so that our house guests can upload and view their digital camera pictures on our PCs. It works right out of the box without any problem. Each of the 4 card-slots appears as distinct removable disk. The device is very compact (on first look of the packaging I thought for a moment they had shipped me the wrong item!). The plastic case seems solid (although I would have...

Excellent Product

Strengths: Sleek, Stylish, very compact

Weakness: None

I bought this product after I lost cable for my sony camera to download the pictures to my computer. No installation was necessary. Just plug the usb cable and it is available as on of the drives. Tried SD card from my phone and it worked perfect. Wish the cable was little shorter(6 inches) instead of the long one..anyways it does the job...

Kingston could have done better

Strengths: Reads CF cards without any issue, looks good

Weakness: Long cord interface, card fit

Did not expect such an inferior product from kingston. My Memory Stick does not fit the reader correctly...and above all there are no direction indication on the reader..it only mentions which bay is which one. After peeking inside the bay and getting to know which direction to put the card in...I had to really struggle hard to see the contents in my card...had to move the card here and there to...

satisfying purchase

Strengths: tiny, easy to take with, good for both pc and mac, fast

Weakness: a small pouch to store would be perfect

I got this 15-in-1 card reader from amazon.com when I searched for a good card reader for my newly purchased cannon rebel. Since I also had DC that is using SD card. I was thinking of getting rid of multiple card readers and replacing them with an all-in-one reader. I was worried of the size of this Kingston reader since it's 15-in-1. Must be a heavy and big block was my original thought. I was...

Excellent Product

Strengths: Does exactly what it says, very simply.

Weakness: None.

This device has four slots that accommodate a wide variety of memory cards. I have used it for the CompactFlash type. I just plugged it into a USB port on the computer, took the memory card out of the camera, plugged it into the appropriate slot, and used Windows Explorer to download a boatload of photos, just like that! I assume you could use Windows Explorer to move photos from one folder to...

Kingston 15-in-1 high speed USB 2.0 Multi Card reader

Strengths: Light compact size and speed.

Weakness: Was hoping that it to be faster.

I currently have a reader that accepts compact flash (CF)only but after upgrading my digital camera, now need one that also reads Secure Digital (SD) cards reader as well and settled on this Kingston 2.0 high-speed Multi 15-in-1 card reader. Very easy to use, just plug it into your computer's USB port, a little blue light on the unit lights up and you're ready to go! Although there was noticeably...
