Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5:

This is the coolest thing! Works perfectly. What's more, although the product is advertised as a card reader, you CAN use it to WRITE to memory cards as well. I transferred a 20-minute AVI movie and a full music CD to a 4GB SDHC card. The cap on mine seems to be pretty secure, too. Buy it. Now!

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5:

Nice product but think it would be better if there was a way to keep the cap attached to the reader. It comes off way too easily and I've only had it a few days.

Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5:

THis device allows you to download photos directly onto the computer from the memory card, when the computer doesn't have special ports for the card. It doesn't require the loading of any special software and makes using different computers easy and it is a great value.

Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5:

You can pop in the chip from your HD camcorder and quickly dump all your files to your computer. I also use it to upload 100's of MP3's to the SD card. It's a beautiful little gadget that works like a dream. I would have given it 5 stars if the cap was attached Zippo style so you could just flip it open. Instead it's very loose-fitting and falls off easily.

Comments about Transcend Compact Card Reader P5:

This is far superior to the larger card readers that come with a USB cable. The unit is as easy to use as a flash drive and slips right in my desk's pencil tray when I'm not using it.
