5 out of 5 stars Wow! It works well AND was cheap!   July 3, 2008

After years of having an internal multi-format card reader I was dreading needing to get an external one. I read up on a dozen different models and decided the price and good reviews of this one made it worth taking a chance. I am using it on an iMac with 3 card sizes: SD, CompactFlash, and MicroSD. All work great. Hooking it up was instant. The transfer rate is spectacular especially when not hooked up through a USB hub.

Do I wish the cards were easier to get back out? Sure, but they're only a fraction more awkward to get out than my internal card reader and no worse than any other external model. It's nice to be truly pleased with product.

Works like a charm, has handled every format I've thrown at it so far. Fast transfers too, convenient USB extension cable included. Recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed   June 9, 2008

My previous cardreader (6 years old) started giving connection errors so I shopped around looking for (a) price, (b) size, (c) convenience. Another tipping factor was that I've always had positive experience with Kingston products.

Have had it and used it extensively for several weeks and have no qualms about it. It has a short cable so it's easier to connect than those without cable; it is retractable which protects the connections and the cable and makes it easy to throw into my briefcase. One caveat: I've only use the SD connection but one would presume the other connections are operable. Also, upon writing this review, I see that there was suppose to be a 3' extension cable. Hmmmm...don't remember getting that. Have to check my desk--haven't needed it but still would be good to have.

I recently ordered the Kingston FCR-HS219 19-1 Media Reader to move several photos from SD/SDHC cards I had to my computer. The device itself is extremely simple to use and setup. It requires no CDs, no software, just plug and play. Placing cards in the slots is relatively easy (I've only used the SD slot). The card does stick out of the reader, but Kingston has fixed that by allowing the inside of the reader to slide back into the plastic sleeve to protect the card from being broken or knocked out.

Easy to set up, easier to store, affordable, works great. I would recommend this to anyone needed a digital media transfer solution.

This card reader works very well. It is compact and very fast. It is easy to use and to throw into a camera bag etc. to take with you.
