Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader FCR-HS219/1
Customer Review: Four new drives!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kingston FCR-HS219/1 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed 19-in-1 Media Reader works just fine: plug it in your computer and you will find four new drive letters in windows explorer. Not only can you copy files between your memory card and your hard drive but also between different cards. The only -minor- complaint is that you have to find which letter corresponds to which card by trial and error. Also I think that the mini SD and micro SD slots share the same letter, although I could not test this since I did not have a mini SD card handy. Product documentation is minimal and not very user friendly. Its small size, short USB cable and driver less installation make this ideal for laptops and for carrying around. The extension USB cable allows you to connect it to hard to reach ports on back of desktops.Customer Review: very happy

For as much of a techie that I am (built my own PVR and home network entertainment system) I have never bothered purchasing a card reader. I just plugged the card into the built in port on my printer (not usb 2.0) and walked off as it copied 100 pictures in about 18 minutes. Since I was buying a usb hub, I figured I would grab one of these as well due to the cost and possibly getting a new printer without a port. Wow, 100 pictures now copy in less than 2 minutes. No complaints about it at all, thought the only port I use right now is the sony card from my sony camera. Used it about 6 times so far, no issues, well worth the money if you need a quick offload speed...such as when you are leaving for a family reunion and just remembered that you forgot to offload the zoo pictures!Customer Review: Warning - not really 19 cards in my opinion.

The title 19 in 1 card reader is a bit tricky, because while it technically does do 19 different cards it counts the different version of say a memory stick or SD card as differnt cards. Check closely on the Kingston site to make sure your card works. I purchased it because I saw, 19 in 1 card reader and figured, hey, it must include my cards. Nope. Does not support XD.
Amazon really needs to put which cards are supported in these pages. Would have saved me some money and a hassle.
So while I like Kingston gear generally, I was kind of disappointed with this because it is not clear what is supported, and I was annoyed at myself for not thoroughly checking.
So now you know.
Customer Review: Works As It Should
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this a few weeks ago when I noticed my camera's USB cable was missing. Since my (older) computer does not have any card slots, I bought this. I believe it is a 19-in-one card reader so one can read many, many different types of cards. It has worked as it should and so far I've not really had any problems.
I did try to insert my digital camcorder's memory card into this, but for some reason I could not get those images/videos to load into my computer. I still have to do some reading, as I may be missing a step. What I probably have to do is read the software information that came with the video cam. But other than that, it reads and uploads all my regular digital camera's memory cards, no problem.
Customer Review: Well made and it works
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I was looking for an internal card reader because my present internal reader is old and doesn't support SDHC. After reading all the negative comments about the internal card readers, I decided to buy this external unit. It's well made and works well. No problems whatsoever. You can just plug it in to a USB port and XP will find it. Also, you can download the driver from Kensington so the memory card slots will show up as little memory card icons in My Computer for CD, SD, MS, and mSD. The location of the driver is in the installation directions. I installed the driver and it works as it should.
Having the external card reader also gives me the flexibility to move it to another PC such as laptop.
