On most of my desktop and laptop computers I have various memory card readers but they all seem to be missing the one I need – this been Micro SD. While out today in one of these cheap shops where everything is £1 ($1.50) – I Spotted this all-in-one reader. My reasoning here is that you cannot go really too wrong given the price, I knew it would work as in picking up the device so I took the plunge and bought the thing.
Construction
The top of the device was literally falling off and had I not broke out the super glue – it would have been lost in next to no time. I choose the colour as per the picture, there was a bright pink model which was not to my taste. The device consists of a the top part (clear plastic as you can see) with one small circuit board inside and the USB Lead is underneath.
In operation
We can see it supports:
Support SD, MMC, RS-MMC, Mini SD, T-Flash, MS / MS PRO, MS Duo / MS PRO Duo, M2
Mini SD, T-Flash, M2 use without adapter
Underneath we have the USB Lead which folds into the device and once out – only has about one inch worth of lead, no USB Extension lead is supplied.
Judging by the size, maybe they assume you will attach this to your keyring – while this is possible, it is not something I need to have on my person all the time.
In Use
This thing does what it says on the packet and it perfect for me to use both at home and at work. You cannot really go too far wrong with the price and do not expect it to last too long in heavy use. This allows me to quickly move files onto my Micro SD Card on my Android phone.
