One unit does it all! I like the short 4 inch integrated USB cable which stores neatly away under the body of the unit. Iit is perfect for laptop or netbook use, where a 6 foot cable is not necessary. It will not be as easy to use with desktop computers that have their USB connectors in the back or bottom front, In that case you would need a USB extender cable. I tried reading several different cards with large files and it read each card flawlessly and fast. The price is very low for a reader/writer with this many ports that even reads Olympus XD cards.
It is an excellent choice for the digital photographer on the go.
As far as reliability goes...We will see...

Loved the product when I had it att'd to the main computer in the house...when I went to transfer the device to the laptop the medal part of the plug got stuck in the USB port...debating on whether or not I wnat to chance an even exchange or to try another brand since this one failed to be durable, sturdy or realiable unless you leave it in the first computer you plug it into!

      I bought this for a very specific need. It well exceeds my expectations. I will not use it every day, but it is small enough to carry in my camera case. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to another user.

                I received your inquiry through the Question and Answer Feature of Staples.com and I apologize for I was unable to answer you directly. I believe this may be a question that the manufacturer will have to research further, please feel free to contact Vivitar at 1-800-592-9541.

              I know the manufacturer lists both micro SD, and SD as being compatible with this reader. Is it also compatible with SD Pro? Thanx!

                I'm very sorry for the confusion. We've corrected that issue at this time. Unfortunately, this card reader/writer cannot recover deleted text/SMS messages.

                Doesn't do too well on recovering info on sms cards. Does a great job on deleted photos, though!
