Summary: Excellent Reader!
Review: Recently I needed a multi-card reader and wanted to take advantage of USB 2.0. I first purchased another brand 6-in-1 reader but it did not work properly with the XP system on my computer (driver conflict?). I returned it and went and purchased this unit. Not only is it smaller, but it worked instantly! Don't waste time looking at other units. Get this one whether you have USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 (very, very fast).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: works great!
Review: The Imation FlashGO! 2.0 is a great 6-in-1 reader/writer. Worked the first time it was plugged in, and everytime thereafter. It's much more compact and lighter that the SanDisk 6-in-1 unit. And definitely much more reliable (I tried 2 of the SanDisk 6-in-1 units -- both could not be detected, hung and crashed my Win2000 SP3).

Although twice the size of its predecessor (FlashGO! USB1.1), it's still small enough to be portable. Comes with a vinyl pouch (case) and would fit most shirt pockets. Ideal for use with laptops and not too bulky to carry around. Definitely much faster than the USB 1.1 version.

Summary: Great Multi-card reader
Review: This is a nice compact 6-in-1 unit that comes in a little pouch. It's not too big, and for traveling you don't need to carry around the USB cable - it has its own short USB connector to plug into a laptop. It plugged into my Windows XP system with no trouble and simply appeared as four removable drives. The speed is excellent, much faster than the USB 1.1 device I had tried earlier. Though it's more expensive than some of the other 6-in-1 memory card readers, I think it's worth it.

Note that an insert in the manual warns of a problem writing MMC cards, and suggests checking the web site for driver updates. I haven't done this yet, as I don't have any MMC cards, so I can't vouch for whether or not there is a fix.

Summary: reads fine but DON'T format
Review: yes this is a handy little card reader but don't even think about formating your flash media in this device. It will corrupt the cards so that they are unusable. There is now a small notice on the imation site FAQ page about this problem - unfortunately they don't say how to fix it.
