Great price, and a brilliant wee unit. For me it's crucial that it works not only on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit install, but also on my Ubuntu Linux 10.04 64 bit too, as I'm a dual boot PC user. So far I have had no problems on either system. Windows 7 found the correct drivers for the item itself without having to use the supplied disc, and gave me respective drive numbers for each slot. On Ubuntu it just worked right out of the box with whatever I stuck into the slots without any other user intervention. Brilliant!
It installed easily onto my BioStar MCP6P M2+ motherboard into the available connection. The chap who said it doesn't sit quite flush on the tower is right, but it still looks great. It gets extra points for the lovely little note from the guy who runs the company! You'll see if you buy one.
All in all, a perfect buy for me.

I bought a new PC with one of these readers and it is not recognised by windows 7 home premium 64 bit. Checked sweex site and windows 7 not listed as compatible OS :( Still trying to get it to work - maybe a driver will be released for it at some point

I have given this 1 star as I am disappointed.
I never received the card reader, so I can't review the item, and as the item was lost by the royal mail, I can't tell you about the delivery.
However, APR Media were just about "OK" when it came to dealing with my problem. They wouldn't help me until my item had been "lost" for 15 business days, then after an exchange of half a dozen e-mails, they have refunded me in full (took 6 weeks in all).
I hope this helps someone, but as far as I am concerned, you pays your money, and hope for the best.

What Value, works like a dream - ok the compact flash port is a little shallow and the card does stick out a fair way, but unless you are an idiot who does not realise how to handle delicate memory cards & electronic equipment, there will be no problems with this - I have checked all ports and each card slides in very well (just make sure you have your card the right way up) and the extra USB port on the reader is a bonus too.
I should point out that this card reader does need the 9 pin (8used) USB connector on the motherboard, so check you have this facility before ordering, no instructions were in the box so if you don't know about the above, indeed you are a person who does not have any computer hardware knowledge then you may need help fitting the reader, but all in all it is extremely easy to fit as long as you know what you are doing. Other than that I have to give it a 5 star rating for value finish & fit all are excellent.

This card reader is much like many other readers although there are faster ones available from other manufacturers. That said, this is more than capable for even heavy use.
I've not found any cards which this had an issue with and it allows you to boot from card media which can be very useful. The range of slots on here means that you won't often need a card adapter and it even has a T-Flash sized slot for the extra small cards used in many mobiles and smartphones.
The additional USB port this adds to your PC is also very useful, providing a handy place to plug in thumb drives and the like, as well of course as any USB device you would care to use. Finally, this unit has a 3 year warranty.

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.

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.

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!
