Customer Reviews

****-
It's good once you get it working!!
Reviewed by Mark Lock from Luton

I was happy with the appearance of the reader but I was disappointed with the instructions which were pretty much useless. You will need to have a fairly good knowledge of PC's and a bit of common sense to get the reader installed and fully functional.

The ability to eject the card reader from the enclosure is good.

Installing the drivers gives you a clearer indication of which drive goes with which reader - there are 4 of them. The cd is generic and the actual model of the drive and the driver you need is not mentioned though.

Overall - it is a good piece of kit, tricky to install but once you got the idea relatively straight forward (have your motherboard manual to hand though). Works well.
