Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of IOGEAR Universal Memory Drive Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader/Writer
Customer Review: Nice little reader.
Summary: 4 Stars
This reader is fast enough for my 2GB SD card. It is plug and play and extremely easy to use. It allows me to share files between my cammera, PDA, laptop and any other computer with USB in no time.
It has a hole on one of the cap that invites user to use the reader as a key chain, but I fear it will lose off, so I don't use it. It would have been a better idea to make a hole on the main body instead of any of the parts you can easily detach. But anyway, I don't use it and I don't need it. So, fine with me.
One thing bothers me a bit. The plastic around the USB plug is kind of wide and cumbersome. And though it looks nice, it won't fit on some front panel USB ports and you will need to use a USB extension cord, which is not provided. You would only need a 4-inch extension cord, but the shortest I've seen on stores is like 4 feet long.
Easy workaround, just plug the reader on a back side port. Those are more likely to have some space at the sides and will fit the reader just fine. Thing is when the back of a computer can't be easily reach.
But if you have an open and easy to reach USB port with some space on the sides on your computer's front panel or you use a laptop only, this device is sweet.
