 "It works." 2010-02-27
By FishMan (Hampshire, UK)
Yes it's a bit flimsy, BUT IT WORKS.

What else do you want for your money ?

 "Extremely poor quality" 2009-04-21
By M. Orton
Despite being relatively expensive for an internal card reader (I normally pay around £7.00) this product is without a doubt one of the lowest quality devices I have ever seen. The other rubbish in my skip appears to be embarrassed by its presence.

 "Total rubbish - AVOID" 2009-03-08
By Mr. C. Burch (Hampshire, England)
Poor quality product (ok it was cheap, and it's called Max Value) but data transfer from a USB pen drive would cut off before it was finished. Plugged same pen drive into a rear USB socket and no issues at all. No way I'd trust it with memory cards to download photos to my PC. Amazon service excellent as usual.

 "Multicard Reader Review" 2009-02-11
By Mr. D. A. Hughes (Peterborough, UK)
Initially I was none too happy with the product. A phone call and a prompt response meant I had a replacement within days, and the previous one returned, FOC. The unit is compact, as described and installing it is very easy, do be aware though you need to have the correct socket on your motherboard. I had one, but many boards have two, and some have none. It is a 'special' usb conector, not a standard one. The device is cheap and cheerful, and does the job it's intended to do. There was no CD included in either of mine, and although I didn't need it, the instructions said there should've been. I would buy it again, if I neded one, and would reccomend it also.

 "Perfect and simple" 2010-07-24
By M. R. Islam (London, United Kingdom)
Fits my case perfectly (even though I've got an unusually shaped tower). And it works straight out of the box.

A great addition to anyone's PC. But I particularly like the built in SIM card and M2 reader.

Finally, the price are just right.

 "Poor Quality Product" 2009-11-27
By R. Bradley (UK)
I bought this to replace a cheaper card reader I bought off eBay a couple of years ago. I wasted my money!

It works OK. But the connecting pins for cards are exposed in the slot, making it very difficult to seat a card effectively. This also means they can be bent very easily.

This product is absolute junk! Don't waste your money like I did. Look elswhere.

 "CF CARD USERS BEWARE!" 2009-11-08
By Mr. M. Price (UK)
ASIN:B001KZH6EC Akasa AK-ICR-05 3.5" Bay Internal Card Reader]]



CF CARD USERS BEWARE! - CF card guide rails are not fit for purpose. The length of the card guide is so short that the card is able to touch and bend the `leading' connection pins before the guide has ensured a correct alignment of the CF card. Only by getting down to eye-level with the entry port and loading the CF card using both hands can you be sure of not inflicting damage to the connector pins. I do not understand such an obvious design error, the Card reader could not have been designed by a CF card user! Suggest a look at Atech products I.E. PRO-36U

 "Multi card reader" 2009-04-07
By P. Thorne (UK)
Bought this to replace my FDD which has not been used for ages; I wanted a simple convenient way of reading camera cards etc. Installation was easy but before you buy make sure your mother board has a spare USB riser - mine did. It comes with a black and pale grey front panel. On removing the black one the tags broke, this was not a problem because i wanted the pale one but did not create a good first impression. I've tested the common ports for SD and SIM cards; they work well. The SIM software is VERY basic and only lets you capture name and number but that said at least you will have a copy of them.



Overall well made easy to install no frills piece of kit - not tried the SMART cards reader.

 "Constantly needs repairing" 2010-07-18
By Strato
I have lost count of the number of times I have had to repair the pins on the compact flash slot. There is too much "play" in the slot so the pins don't line up properly and a couple of them keep bending. This is then a self perpetuating problem as you can't perfectly straighten them meaning that each time it gets a little worse.



The SD slot works fine though - but that's not much use when your main camera uses CF and you only really wanted it for that in the first place.

 "NEWLink Internal 3.5" card reader" 2009-02-06
By T. J. Wass
Neat, black and works in a nice plug and play way.

Every bay appears as a drive in windows and you can read/write to several cards simultaneously.



One drawback is that sometimes you don't know which device you want to "safely unplug" so I simply don't bother and merely yank out the target memory card; never had any problems so far.



The only problem I had was that the card slots didn't line up perfectly with the front panel meaning inserting cards is a bit tight.



It's good for breathing new life into all those old memory cards that are now too small for use in the camera.

 "cheap and cheerful" 2009-01-28
By Kevin Thomas (Surrey, UK)
From the spec, this card reader ticks the right boxes- plenty of slots, Vista compatible, internal card reader so it doesn't clutter the desk... However, there are a few things to bear in mind before buying one:



1) The box just contains the reader and four mounting screws. No instructions or indeed any written information.

2) The mounting screws don't fit the holes in the side of the card reader very well.

3) After installation, Vista noticed a new device, but failed to find drivers for it. As this unit completely lacked documentation, there was no indication as to what to do next. Thankfully, it can read cards without drivers, but it does keep popping up a "cannot find drivers" message even when I've told it to ignore this. This is irritating.

4) There is a nasty-looking red LED on the front, which always seems to be switched on.

5) When a card is inserted, Vista sees it as a new disk. The trouble is, it sees about 5 new disks (presumably one for each slot) so you have to guess which one relates to the card that you put in.

6) Possibly the worst feature is the poorly fitting CF card slot. This slot is about twice the height of a CF card, so the card wobbles around in the slot. Worse than this, when I first inserted a CF card, it didn't fit and I managed to bend one of the very weak pins in the card reader.



Summary: it's cheap, and you can see why upon purchasing. Note: I have no experience of other card readers so cannot say if others are better or worse. However, the poor fitting slots are inexcusable.

 "Best card reader I have owned" 2010-05-30
By K. Davison (Hull, UK)
I was fed up of unreliable external USB card readers so, knowing my mobo had on-board USB connectors and there was a spare bay in my tower, I went for this device. Installation was simple (obviously you need a bit of 'inside PC' know-how, such as where the USB 2.0 pinheaders are on your motherboard and whether you have a spare three and a half inch bay in your tower)and I soon had the reader up and running. It results in Windows Explorer reporting four new removable disks representing the various types of card reader. A red LED tells you the device is powered up - perhaps an unnecessary feature. You also get an extra USB 2.0 port on the front of your tower. I haven't been able to test all the card slots as I don't use all types of card but so far it does exactly what it says on the tin. Highly recommended.

 "Card Reader Review" 2010-04-22
By J. Appleby (Malmesbury UK)
This card reader is exceptional value for money and works well.

A word of warning, this card reader has a fixed flying lead with a 9 pin USB header type plug. Unfortunately my PC did not have a suitable insertion point. In the end I had to purchase a USB PCI board with a suitable insertion socket. Not a problem because I also needed the extra USB sockets that came with the PCI board.

As mentioned earlier the card reader is fine and does what it says on the box but beware that it does not have a standard USB plug.

 "Very cheap, well made card reader" 2009-04-26
By T. Culmer (Bournemouth, UK)
Bought this for my PC which is running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and it worked straight out the box. It's been solidly built and the cards are easy enough to insert and remove. My only complaints would be that it doesn't line up flush with the outside of my case and it has a light which is always on that seems a bit unnecessary. I'm probably just being fussy and for the price it definitely gets 5 stars!

 "Card Reader" 2010-04-29
By A. Kearvell (uk)
Nice little card reader. Works fine, comes with choice of front panels to match your system. Might have been improved by an extra USB port, but it does the job amicably.

 "actually a "Sweex" unit but twice the price." 2010-04-13
By Mr. D. Wilson (England. UK)
A I've said in the title. look for the "Sweex" internal card reader. it is the "Exact" same unit, but half the price of the Akasa one.



either way both great items simple to install and work a treat. But dont get ripped of by buying the branded ones.

 "Almost perfect" 2010-01-01
By pluraldave
Easy to (physically) install, works out of the box on both Windows and Linux. Full size cards fit snugly into their respective slots - no issues with CF cards as previously reported but Mini-SD cards don't seem to work. The light comes on to signify the reader has detected the card but the OS is none the wiser. Pretty much all mini/micro cards come with adapters so it's no real issue to pop it into the adapter and then the card reader but it loses it that 5th star.

 "reliable product" 2009-12-10
By Mr. B. Racz
When I was ordering this product I was concerned whether this floppy disk drive would be usable without any operating system installed on my computer. Fortunatelly the device appears in the BIOS so it was possible to provide sata hard drive drivers for the XP during the installation by using this device.



So If you want to install Windows XP on a sata hard drive this device would be just perfect for that purpose.

 "Card Reader" 2009-10-11
By D. Outar (Essex, England)
Product fits into a 3.5 inch bay but can fit into an adaptor and then fit into a CD slot. I regularly use this product for SD and Sony PSP MS Pro gaming cards and so far have not had a problem with insertion, reading, writing or removal.



The devive has a prewired USB block that conects to the motherboard with a 0.5cm thick grey cable of about 40cm long which is ample for most cases. The advantage of this is rapid installation. The unit is held in the bay with metal screws that tighten into a metal chasis. There is also a single USB slot underneath which are status indicator lights. I feel they emit enough light for their purpose. After installing the problem on Windows Vista it was recognised and it also works in dual boot with XP Home and Windows 2000 SP4. Some online drivers may be required for Windows 98 (but aren't they always!)



It is also capable of being mounted on its side such as the old floppy drives on either desktop units or media cases.
