Digital camera reviews of Lexar Media MULTI CARD READER ( RW022-001 ) (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Consumers be cautious and informed...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the second one of these readers that I've owned in 5 years. I, personally, have not had any problems with it.
BUT
It's now 2008 and higher capacity cards are on the market because cameras, and other devices, are demanding larger capacities. Because this is an older product/design, it does NOT support the higher capacity cards!
As per my usage:
CF I & CF II --> Works up to 8 GB card
SD & SDHC --> Works up to a 2 GB card
These numbers are verified as per LEXAR's chat support (as of the day of writing this review).
If you are currently on the market for a card reader, I would recommend going with something that is of newer design because of the limitations of this particular card reader. Why buy a 12 MP camera and only put a 2 GB card into it? Think ahead. Plan ahead and search around for a newer model.
That being said.. I'm on the hunt for a card reader that will work with the higher capacity SDHC cards now.
Summary of Lexar Media MULTI CARD READER ( RW022-001 ) (Retail Package)
Remove your memory card from your digital camera, put directly into the Lexar Multi-Card Reader, then drag and drop your files into your computer. Or, with its USB connectivity, you can take a file from your digital camera, video camcorder, MP3 player or PDA and move it from the device to your computer. This reader can read and write: CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, SD and xD-Picture Card. A two-year limited warranty comes with the reader.If you own a portable digital device that contains data and information, there's a good chance it stores that information on a removable memory card. When it comes time to transfer or copy that information to your computer for processing, editing, or safekeeping, you have a couple of choices. Firstly, you can connect the device directly to your computer via whatever method it supports. This could present problems, depending on the connection type and speed, the size of the device, and the durability of its connection port and the projected longevity of its batteries.
Alternately, you can remove the memory card and insert it in a dedicated card reader. Of course, you must ensure the card reader in question supports your memory card format(s) and operates at top speed. Lexar's Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is one such product.
It's definitely fast. Taking advantage of high-speed USB 2.0 connections, the Lexar system transfers data incrementally faster (theoretically up to 40-times as fast) than similar products using conventional USB 1.1. It's also quite likely compatible with whatever memory cards you currently use. Indeed, the sleek and futuristic unit supports all the following formats: CompactFlash (types 1 and 2), Smart Media, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, SD Card, xD-Picture Card, MicroDrive, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, miniSD and RS MMC.
The Lexar Multi-Card USB 2.0 Card Reader is fully backwards compatible with slower USB 1.1 ports and does not require additional card adapters. A two-year warranty and free technical support are standard equipment.
