Electronics : Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 All-in-1 Media Card Reader/WriterRating: - Simply ExcellentWith 4 slots the reader can handle a multiplicity of cards. I use two, XD and Compact Flash. With Windows XP it can be used with or without the included driver plus it comes with a paper manual! I received mine on the 5th July 2005 and have since used it extensively with both an Olympus Camera and a Nikon D70S. Simply, plug in, use it and no problems. I prefer to transfer information this way, it saves camera battery life, the power supply via the USB port is constant, no plugging cables into the cameras and a rapid transfer of images be they relatively small .jpg or much larger .raw. Really cheap considering the job that it does and always ready for use. I would not be without it. I recommend that you purchase it, you will not be disappointed. Rating: - Does what it says on the tin...Absolutely fantastic, as you would expect from Belkin. Build quality is rock-solid, and cards fit snug and locate positively. I use Apple Macintosh, and as usual, this product just plugs in and does it's stuff. Didn't even need to examine the guides or get the driver disk out. Have tried with XD, SD, CFII, Microdrive and SmartMedia, ranging from 32Mb up to 1Gb-all work as advertised. And the ability of this reader to mount multiple drives at once SOUNDS odd, but it's actually quite handy. Speed is good for a USB2 device (although I do have a Firewire CF reader, which is a lot faster). But, overall, a huge increase in speed over connecting your camera direct to computer. Rating: - Small, perfect for use with a laptopThis is an ideal bit of kit if you use multiple disk formats - small, light, and powered by the USB connection. It mounts under XP as four separate drives without installation of any drivers, and the transfer speed is much faster than from my (USB 1 only) camera. One thing you may want to know is that it didn't work at all when I plugged it into a PC that only supported USB 1. Rating: - Works well, easy to use.I purchased this device for transferring data directly from my digital camera's xD picture card, without having to have my camera switched on and connected to the computer. Thus saving my camera's battery power. I have found that it works well for both reading and writing images to the xD picture card. It has four slots for a wide range of media. There is one green LED light which lights up and flashes when data is being read or written. It comes with a CD-ROM which includes a driver and some other useful software. Windows XP already has 'native support' for this device so it will work without installing the driver, however it is recommended that you do, so that you get customised icons to easily identify the different card slots which show up as four different drives on your computer. It comes supplied with a USB cable and a paper user manual. I have found this product easy to use and that it works well. A good buy - 5 stars. Rating: - Elegant simplicity.Great product: Very easy to use, Reads a staggering number of different memory systems, Drivers install quickly [I would recomend you do this even though you don't have to on some OSs], Icons and file storage easy to understand and It looks attractive sitting upon your desk. ***** |
