Amazon Product Description
If you own a portable digital device that contains data and information, there's a good chance it stores that information on a removable memory card. When it comes time to transfer or copy that information to your computer for processing, editing, or safekeeping, you have a couple of choices. Firstly, you can connect the device directly to your computer via whatever method it supports. This could present problems, depending on the connection type and speed, the size of the device, and the durability of its connection port and the projected longevity of its batteries.

Alternately, you can remove the memory card and insert it in a dedicated card reader. Of course, you must ensure the card reader in question supports your memory card format(s) and operates at top speed. Lexar's Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is one such product.

It's definitely fast. Taking advantage of high-speed USB 2.0 connections, the Lexar system transfers data incrementally faster (theoretically up to 40-times as fast) than similar products using conventional USB 1.1. It's also quite likely compatible with whatever memory cards you currently use. Indeed, the sleek and futuristic unit supports all the following formats: CompactFlash (types 1 and 2), Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, SD Card, xD-Picture Card, MicroDrive, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD and RS MMC.

The Lexar Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is fully backwards compatible with slower USB 1.1 ports and does not require additional card adapters. A two-year warranty and free technical support are standard equipment.

Customer Reviews

Does not work with cards over 1GB
Realiable, easy to use, but does not work with newer large format cards (works with CF cards up to 1GB, but not SD cards 2 GB and larger)

Lexar Multi Card Reader (RW022-001)
I bought this item because I read somewhere that a Linux (Debian) user had success on his machine. I am using the 7.10 KUbuntu Linux distribution. I was pleased to find that all I had to do was plug the unit into my USB port and it was immediately operational. So far I have tried a 256Mb compact flash, a 4Gb (GigaByte) SDHC (high Capacity), a 2Gb High SD 'Ultra' II, and a 2Gb mini-SD. I love it! It recognized .Mov files and just about everything I threw at it. The device is surprisingly fast for a USB, an added bonus.

Works like a hose
Doesn't get any better than this. I plugged it into the USB port, inserted a Lexar 2GB CF module and it worked, unlike the Sakar unit that I wasted $20 on.
