BYTECC U2CR-510 USB 2.0 Card Reader

Comment:
Low cost, plug and play, tiny Difficult to get cards into the appropriate slot, poorly marked, really slows down data transmission. I only needed anything fast and uncomplicated with USB 2. to download photos from my DSLR (it only supports USB 1.1) so I thought I would take a possibility on this. Huge error. The first time I attempted to download 20 MB with of pics from my xD card, it said it was going to take 56 minutes. When I place the card back in the camera, it only took 4 minutes. Quite sad. Devote the dollars, get something excellent.

**recognized quickly by win xp (drive letters assigned, no errors, driver installed automatically)**very compact**access LED**lightweight devoid of feeling low-cost**runs off usb energy (no wall wart needed)**A-B usb cable integrated in case you don't currently have sixteen of them none so farwell... ok, a minor nit. it doesn't have a microSD slot, so a single has to use an adapter to resize to SD. offered this limitation, a USB slot would have been nice. ok, 1 far more. you have to insert the CF card upside-down (main label faces downwards). really minor; i'll get over it. but guys, hello, why? unrelated to this unit, but a common thought... went with fedex for the order (also included a difficult drive). i'm feeling it's worth it to have packages arrive in very good condition and not be beat up. box arrived in good situation; its contents weren't in a jumble, and it was ON TIME. /cough/

Small size, good quality really feel,low price, quite a few formats supported. None. I wasn't positive about this, media readers look to be hit and miss, but this one particular appears to perform well so far.

It operates in Windows Vista 32 and 7 AMD64 fine.It operates in a Pentium Pro from 1996 operating Debian Squeeze.Really Rapidly SHIPPING. GREASED LIGHTNING!!! None. I ordered it late in the day of yesterday, and it's already right here by noon. Brilliant!I got this with a shell shocker that comes with this and a Patriot 8GB SD card. Each operate fine, and each came just as rapidly.The USB ports in the Pentium Pro were provided by a D-Link USB 1.1 card with an OPTi 82C861 chip.
