Customer Review: Works Flawlessly
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this memory card reader because I lost my previous Memory Card Reader, which, incidentally, worked really well but didn't take miniSD and microSD cards.
This package comprises the Kingston Memory Card Reader and the Kingston 2GB SD card.
The Kinston Memory Card Reader is the same size as a regular SD memory card reader except that it is a tad thicker since it has to accommodate slots for SD, miniSD, and microSD cards. Both sides of the reader flip open. One side houses the slot for a regular SD card; the other houses a slot for a miniSD card and a slot for a microSD card.
Windows (XP) has no trouble recognizing all three slots as Removable Disk Drives and assigns each one a drive letter. For example, on my computer, the 3 slots show up on My Computer as:
Removable Disk (E:)
Removable Disk (F:)
Removable Disk (G:)
for the SD, miniSD, and microSD slots, respectively.
Function
--------
The SD slot works flawlessly with the Kingston SD card that comes with the package. I also tested the microSD slot with a couple of brand new Kingston 8GB microSDHC cards and had no problems. Windows recognized my brand new cards right off the bat and there was no need to get them formatted first. Nice!
Usability
---------
The reader holds the cards, especially the microSD card, very tight. There is an ejection slider for each slot for ejecting the memory card. It requires some effort to push the microSD card in and out of the slot because it's a tight fit and because the microSD card is so tiny. However, I think it'll be easier once the slot is broken in.
A lanyard tethers the cap to the main unit so the cap won't get lost. There's a tiny ring at one end of the lanyard for attaching the unit to a keyring.
Conclusion
The Kingston Memory Card Reader and SD Card work flawlessly. However, do be aware that the Kingston Memory Card Reader is slightly thicker than a dedicated memory card reader for a miniSD or a microSD card. So, if you need a memory card reader for only a particular kind of memory card, a dedicated and more compact memory card reader might be the way to go. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this.
