I purchased this item new for about half of what Amazon is selling it for. I thought I was getting a great deal. I found that inserting and removing my brand new SDHC card was very difficult. I checked the contacts of my card and found deep scratches. My conclusion is that the pins are either too stiff or too long. I have no idea why no other reviewer encountered this problem. I did not try any other memory cards with this reader so I can’t comment on how it would work with other cards. I was however very disappointed and returned the product for a refund.

I recently purchased a new all-in-one printer. It has the memory card slots like most do, but….when I inserted the card from my camera and tried to download to my computer – it didn’t work like my old printer did. The new one uses the card slots internally and will not pass the info to my computer.
The Delkin reader solved that problem easily and inexpensively. I simply plugged it into a USB port, the computer identified it, and the data went to my photo software. It could not be easier.

I don’t know if this is the fastest reader, but it is the best and it certainly is NOT slow. Some cards are slower than others and I think this reader keeps up at least the limit of USB 2.0 speeds. No drivers needed for XP or higher OS. The right-side fits a micro-SD without needing any adapters. It works with all sizes of SDHC I’ve tried. We’ve had to toss most of our older card readers because they wouldn’t read SDHC, but these Delkin / eFilm ones have always and still do read every card I can throw at it.
I don’t blame this reader but one brand of SD card I had did eventually crack, split, and fall apart after going back and forth from reader to camera a lot. Use care to get the SD card oriented correctly (not upside-down) and insert it slowly and carefully and you will not experience issues.
I always insert the card into the reader, then plug in the USB cord. When finished, use the Safely Remove device tool to “eject” the card, then unplug the whole reader. This way, you won’t corrupt the flash card, and you will never have an issue when switching cards and not finding the new card.
I’ve ordered at least 8 or 10 of these for myself and my work, and they all work perfectly.

This is a very good unit. Have looked at other readers and this is the best in my opinion

I have used this reader with both CF and SD cards. It is amazingly fast compared to my old card reader.
