Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5 (Black):
Have 2 of these, 1 of which is always in my shoulder bag. They are not glamorous but they handle SD and micro SD cards reliably and that is what they should do. Sometimes wish they had a loop for carry strap but minor thing.

I bought this to use micro hdsc cards in a pc. That requires an adapter, but the adpter came with the card, so not a big deal. The form factor is nice, it has a cap, and it works fine with xp without loading any drivers.

I use this to read my memory cards with both my laptop and the school computers. This is perfect. Its exactly what I needed. Instead of copying all my images onto a flashdrive before class, I simply bring this with my memory cards. Just plug it in and your off!

SD card fits into side of unit and still clears the little door covering the USB port on my desktop computer.
Handy device, once you surmount the significant challenge of extracting it from the plastic packaging.

This is a great, simple, inexpensive way to get your photos from your camera to your computer. I have several of these, and wouldn't use anything else. Transcend makes great stuff, period. If you have any doubts, buy it anyway!

It beats the competition as most won't read SDXC yet. I don't know if SDXC will be a preferred format in the future.
Great value. good quality.

Limited to SD cards but an outstanding little reader. Runs quickly and has never produced a read or write error that can occure with a good memory card. Compact and carries easily in my notebook case. Looks good, not cheap, and does exactly what it is suppose to do.

Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5 (Black):
This card reader is a great price and looks like an ordinary USB drive, with the SD card slot on the side. The end is long enough to fit into most USB ports even if they are recessed. My Windows 7 computer recognized it with no problem.
