Summary: Excellent Bargain
Comment: I purchased this to use in a newly built computer. Plugged it into the USB header on the motherboard, and Vista it assigned it 4 drive letters with no drivers needed. So far I've only used the SD slot and the USB port, both work fine.
It would be nice if you could disable the slots you don't need, but no multi reader offers this. All in all, a great bargain.

Summary: Works as expected!
Comment: Other reviews make no sense, but here's mine. Installed this onto my existing windows XP PC and had it plugged into my motherboard. Booted up, and 4 new drives came up, didn't need no drivers either. I purchased this specifically for my SDHC card, which works great.

Summary: average all around
Comment: When the product arrived, the box did not include the win98 driver CD mentioned in the product description. This did not affect me, since I don't use win98, but if you do, you should make sure you can get the drivers online. The documentation was sparse but adequate.
Installation was no easier or harder than any other 3.5" expansion bay. The product got its power from the motherboard USB connection, so no other connection was needed. Keep in mind that installation difficulty is mostly determined by your case.
Once I got it installed, Vista automatically got drivers for it, so I didn't need to install anything. Speed wise, everything was fine.
Some people may have a problem with the LEDs. The card reader has two, one that indicates power, and another that indicates disk usage. The problem is that the power light doesn't go off unless you physically unplug the computer. Simply shutting it down in the operating system doesn't turn it off, and this both wastes power, and can be frustrating.
Overall, it worked adequately for what i needed, although with some smal flaws.

Summary: Good Reader, Too Many Drive Letters
Comment: For less then fifteen bucks how can you NOT add such a functional little reader to your computer. I actually installed this instead of an 3.5" floppy as I have no real use for a floppy now-a-days. This reader reads 64 different types of cards using 4 different input slots. It also has a handy USB port on the front of it. Since you need to use a USB motherboard port, adding the USB port on the front makes up for any lost ports if your motherboard doesnt have many USB connections. The only gripe I have with this reader is that it makes 4 drives in your "My Computer" (1 for each input.) I understand that there is no way to get around this and although its not that big of a deal it does clutter up your "My Computer" with a bunch of needless drive letters.
4 out of 5 stars.

Summary: When it's compatible, it works well. Doesn't work on some systems.
Comment: I can vouch for the fact that it works on a Gigabyte P965 DS3. On the other hand, it does not work at all with Epox 8RDA+. Maybe if more people post about compatibility, people will be more likely to go for it.
