Belkin USB MEDIA READER/WRITER 8-N-1 ( F5U148-GRY )

Summary: The idea is sound - the product is garbage...
Review: If the product's concept could save it - this would have gotten 5 stars. One dongle to read your Memory Stick, Secure Digital Media, CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and IBM Microdrive cards. The produc, in reality, falls flat. It has a hard time trying to read CompactFlash cards, and it WON'T READ SmartMedia cards at all.

Support is a joke, telling me to put the card in another way (didn't help even with the media on which it WAS possible to do so). I guess the only thing I can recommend to everyone is just get a LOT of USB hubs, and run all the dongles for all the media you use - which means if you need a solution for SmartMedia, CompactFlash, SD Media, and Memory Stick, you need a card reader for EACH one of them independantly. The all in one idea of these readers just DON'T work...
