Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of IOGEAR 56-in-1 USB 2.0 Pocket Flash Memory Card Reader/Writer GFR281 (Silver)

Customer Review: Works Fine
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this reader so my parents wouldn't need to keep bugging me to bring my cardreader to them and upload photos from their camera to the computer. So far, my purchase has not rectified this situation, though I hardly think that is because of the reader itself.

This reader works as advertised, at least as far as I can tell -- considering I would need at least ten more different types of memory cards/sticks to test all the slots. No extra software or drivers needed in Windows XP or Mac OSX 10.5 and data transfer rates are fine. The use of the ubiquitous mini-plug USB cable reduces my fear of losing and having to replace the cable.

My only disappointments in this product are small gripes. I would have liked to see a metal casing, instead of a plastic housing (which should not pose a problem to the average consumer) for durability's sake. And I also would appreciate the inclusion of an indicator LED into the reader. I have a cheap card reader that has one such LED and it's nice to know that the device is connected and powered or transferring data. These are small things, so unless you take major issue with either, the device does a fine job.
