All PROS–No CONSSolid performance at the right price.Works as described.Cable more than ample length.PLUG & PLAY.Originally I bought the IOGEAR 56-in-1 card reader to use with an LG8250 from [...]. It was disabled by Verizon (from my understanding) causing MP3s to be transferred as SOUND files when using Bluetooth. The phone had been damaged and I cannot verify that it works with the LG8250 but MP3s transfer flawlessly from my Mac to my Motorola Barrage using a MicroSD card.As well, my girlfriend's PC is not Bluetooth capable. We no longer need to buy a USB Bluetooth adapter to tranfer photos between her computer and phone.

The unit can only be attached via the supplied cord, not connected directly into a USB contact. If you use a USB extension cord, the unit does not get enough power. You may plug it into a hub however. The slot for the Duo-stick is rather shallow so the stick extends out beyond the slot (be careful when inserting) There is no light on the card reader to let you know it is in operation (the most absent feature).

I use this to transfer images from my camera to computer, and to do firmware updates to my camera.
My system immediately recognizes the drive assignment and I can update the card to my hearts content.
I wish it had a light to indicate activity, but it seems to work fine and data read/write is very quick. Good product.

Just plug it up and it works well. We've used it for CF and SD cards on a Mac. No problems. I like that it comes with a USB cable so there's nothing else to purchase.

Good SD card read/write and if I ever need another format, now I have an interface for it too.[...] online driver download was simple. Lining the card up for insertion can be a challenge but I'd definitely make the same choice again.

I bought this for the sole purpose of transferring images from my CF cards to my computer without having to fire up my laptop (for which I have CF to PCMCIA adapter).
Download time for a single 7MB file:
Laptop with PCMCIA adapter: 7 seconds.
Computer using this device: 107 seconds.
Pros:
At least it didn't corrupt the memory card.
Cons:
To slow to be of any use to me whatsoever.

You get what you paid for. However, you figure it could be a little faster. 8G 15MBS (old ultra 2 cards) takes 38 mins with raw files. also the slot for CF cards is too big. It makes you think you will break pins easly. Would have spent the extra cash had I not spent so much already that day!

So far this product was worth the price however the only complaint I have it is that at first our computers couldn't find or locate the USB and said product not found but after a few times it finally took it. Not sure if that was related to our computers or the product. Other than that once that computer located the card reader it worked just fine.
