Small in size, Large in action July 17, 2008 This MicroSD reader works like magic. No software or braincells required, you simply stick your MicroSD card in one end, and USB it on your machine, and BAM it sees it as a thumb drive. You can copy, cut, paste, and all the good file sharing goodness. I've moved music, pictures, and files smoothly and with no extra effort what so ever. Works right out of the box, and for such a low price, its a no brainier.
Sufficient only July 12, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It certainly does its job. However, the micro SD card fits extremely snug and you need long fingernails to be able to get it out afterward. I worry every time I use it that I'm going to accidentally break the SD card trying to get it in or out.
Kingston - What more can you say? June 14, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is consistent with Kingston's usual quality. What I really like about this is that it is tiny. With the growing array of cords, adapters, and other stuff I carry around with me, it is nice to have a product that takes up only slighly more space than a cough drop in my little tote bag (who are we kidding, I know its a man-purse, but I'm not gonna call it that). If you need a USB Micro SD reader, this is the way to go.
Works but awkward June 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The product works fine, however its a bit awkward at first inserting the reader into a usb slot, it also feels a bit fragile at times.
However the reader itself works wonderfully,reads the micro-sd cards fine, with a high read/write speed.
Not much more to say about, if you need a simple micro-sd card reader, there is no reason not to buy this product.
Very Cool!! This should replace all old school USB drives November 20, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have two of these, they are VERY cool! Tough and simple. I toss the outer shell with the lanyard, insert my card (2G are fairly cheap now) and put it in my wallet along with a few micro cards. Imo it's so much better to have a teeny reader or two and micro cards VS carrying full size reader(s). And you'll never be without it because you always carry your wallet. Flash drives have a high failure rate, so I'd much rather have four 2G micro cards in my wallet than a regular size 8G thumb drive... I keep a backup of the most important stuff right there in my wallet too! Oh, and with an SD card adaptor I have these micro cards in my camera, voice recorder, etc.. My cell takes micro too, so I'm micro chipped all the way around now, take a pix w/ my camera or cell, and a minute later it's on my computer getting photoshopped! Sweet.....
The only other USB toy I like better is the A Data micro reader, it's less than 1/2 the size, but a more $. Same deal; toss the outer shell/lanyard and put in my wallet. I have one of these Kingston readers and two A Data readers in my wallet. When I pull them out, everyone wants to get one.
And of course there are all kinds of cool programs that will run directly from it. I can use a friends computer to burn CD/DVD's, "back-up" and compress music or movies, run Word, Excel etc, all without installing a thing on his/her computer. Plus all kinds of rescue software to help out whoever who computer is broke or infected, and from anywhere at anytime :) Ok, enough soapbox, just buy it!
