From: Mitko on 12 Jun 2007 08:17 Hi can anyone recommend memory card reader which supports: - 8GB CF II, - 8GB SDHC - USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 - has a small size - plugs directly into the USB port - no USB cable required - does not require external power supply (utilizes the USB port) Thank you for your input! Mitko
From: nsag on 12 Jun 2007 11:02 Most compact flash card readers can read larger capacity cards. However older SD card readers may not be able to read cards larger than 2gbs. I could not find this info specified on manufacturer web sites with regard to current products. However blindly purchasing a recent Sandisk reader I found it could indeed read larger capacity SD cards. You have to contact the manufacturer to get specifics. I would presume current readers are all USB 2; why would you even consider USB 1?

Its just that I have a 4 years old laptop that works fine and has the old USB ports. I thought of purchasing "Sandisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Hi-speed Reader", however there is a posting on Amazon stating that the reader does not support SanDisk Extreme III, which is exactly what I have. Regards, Mitko

Well, some people might only have USB 1.1 in their computer, and want to save money, IF you can find an only USB 1.1 reader these days. |
