Advantages: Data transfer in an instant Disadvantages: None
...Quick, easy access to all of your digital photos with the plug and play feature and drag and drop file transfer.
Requirements needed are an available USB port, and Windows 98' or above.
Contents provided are the BelkinUSBMediaReader/Writer, a user manual and an installation cd.
After installing the drivers for the hardware simply plug the BelkinUSBMediaReader/Writer into a USB port and place the compact flash card into the slot in the hardware. Instant downloading of all your digital photos takes place, transferring the data into a folder on your pc.
Simple, effective, time saving data tranfer all available with the very cheap (£19.99) BelkinUSBMediaReader/Writer. Available at all leading electrical stores(if they haven't already sold out).
Only bought this piece of kit today, thus can only give a brief op but will update...

Technology:
This cardreader simply connects to any USB1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 port and installs in under a minute with the included software.

One annoyance is that you have to remember to right click on the cardreader's icon in Windows and press eject to eject your card, otherwise you can end up wiping it. It would have been better to include an eject button on the reader itself.
