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™.
