Product Description

GWC Vista ReadyBoost Compatible Card Reader

This USB 2.0 Single Slot Card Reader is a portable device that supports reading and writing Secure Digital™ Card (SD) and MultiMedia™ Card (MMC) series memory cards. It's Plug-and-Play; just plug it into a free USB port on your computer and it's ready to use. Another benefit is that it supports the new generation high-speed and high-capacity memory cards, e.g, SD version 2.0 and MMC version 4.2, ensuring you get the high performance brought by these memory cards. What's best, the card reader supports Windows® ReadyBoost™, a feature allowing you to use a memory card to increase the available memory for Windows Vista™. You can use part of a card to enhance system performance and at the same time use the remaining part as a storage media, letting you get the most out of one memory card.

Died in 7 months
By James on
While it worked, this was a very handy product. However, after 7 months, it started malfunctioning and died. I'm looking for a replacement.

What a great tool!
By Joanna on
I bought five of these at Christmas for co-workers, and one for myself. I got another one just because they were on sale. However, I used both of them at once to download and save my pictures (more than 300) from two major community events this past weekend, saving me a lot of work and computer space.

compact & sturdy, good product
By Voyageur North Outfitters, Inc. on
I like how sturdy it seems. Haven't used it except one time so far, so have no history to speak of yet.
