Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexar Media Single-Slot USB 2.0 Multi-Card Reader (Model RW023-001)

Customer Review: Handy portable reader
Summary: 4 Stars

I used to bring CD's with utilities and diagnostic software on them when making a PC repair house call. I got a Lexar jumpdrive trio and started putting this software on flash memory. It fits into a small toolkit which is easy to carry. I Bought this reader to replace the jumpdrive trio I own. It is perfect for memory sticks, but the cover doesn't stay closed when using SD Card. A minor incovenience to be sure, but it cheapens the feel of the product. That notwithstanding, the price makes it a better choice than portable mechanical hard drives which are subject to physical damage in transport.

Customer Review: Does its job well
Summary: 4 Stars

I've had this for at least 8 months now. We've used it with xD, sD, Memory Stick Pro, Pro Duo(with the adapter) and a few misc. cards that friends' cameras may be using.

I've never had a problem getting cards in or out, nor any problems with reading the data on them.

My only possible complaint is that the cap for the usb connector doesn't stay on as well as I'd like or have a place to store it while the device is in use. Short of that, I can't place a single complaint about the unit. It has been a well spent $20!

Customer Review: One-slot card reader that does everything
Summary: 5 Stars

I replaced my lost Lexar multi-card reader with the same model because I couldn't find anything better. It's the only compact, single-slot card reader that I've found that works with every card I use: Memory Stick, SD, SDHC, MMC, and Fuji's xD-Picture. Those constraints make it a little bulky (has to be wide enough for xD, long enough for memory stick) but it's still small enough to carry around in a laptop bag. It's great to know that whatever type of camera your friends have, this gadget can read its card.

Customer Review: Completely Satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars

This device feels like a plastic toy, but it works very well with my XD-Picture cards, which most multi-card readers can't handle. A three foot usb cable is included. Getting the card in and out of the slot wasn't difficult after the first few times. The potentially loose cover isn't an issue with me because I leave the reader plugged into my desktop computer with the usb cable.

Customer Review: Don't buy the generic one
Summary: 2 Stars

I have bought several of these. Some came in a fancy blister, and others in a coushing bag. Stay away from those. Be sure you're buying the sealed one because the physical design is a lot different.

I give the generic two stars just because it works. I give four stars to the original because as others reviewers have said it's a little difficult to remove the card.
