For multi-media fans, a Lexar Multi-Card Reader offers the most versatility. It can read them all: CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick Pro, MMC, SD and xD-Picture Card. With its USB connectivity, you can take a file from your digital camera, video camcorder, MP3 player, or PDA and move it seamlessly from the device to your computer. Small and incredibly fast, a Lexar Multi-Card Reader goes anywhere, anytime.

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.
