I use this product at work for the two computers in my office that do not have SD card reader ports. They are so light weight that you can easily carry them in your laptop bag without any worries. Even though the SD cards do not 'click' into place like most readers, a red lights turns on while a connection is being made with the device. The only real complaint would be the length of the USB cord. Great low cost product. It has paid for itself in the first week of use.

        Some of my old digital cameras still take good photographs but the USB cords are worn out and cannot be replaced. The Portable Card Reader by Iogear overcomes that problem simply and easily.

            I bought 10 of these for use in my Video Production class. For a few months, they were great. Then, at almost the same time, they all began to fail. I would not recommend them to others.
