Kingston Media Reader Hi-Speed 19-in-1 Card Reader Review

January 10th, 2008 by Kristofer

While I was reviewing the Kingston CompactFlash Ultimate 266X 4GB Card, I ran into an issue with read speeds on the compact flash cards I was testing, luckily my contact at Kingston was able to send out a press sample of the Kingston 19-in-1 Card Reader, besides helping me finish that review, this card reader has become the swiss army knife for all my flash memory needs.

With nineteen different reader interfaces, I challenge you to find a popular flash memory card that this device will not be able to read. Flash readers are great for transferring data from flash media and for using memory cards as portable storage. The 19-in-1 Card Reader is a USB 2.0 reader, with its small form factor and retractable USB cable, this device is portable to be carried with a laptop and stylish enough to be displayed out on ones desk.

Let’s get started…..

How about telling us if the speed is good enough to use flash cards for readyboost?

It was no challenge at all to find a popular format it does not support. xD is used in a lot of popular cameras. Even the little cheap thing I picked up at Walmart supports xD.

Yeppers.. that’s what I said.. It can’t read my XD cards for my camera…

and Carnage: do you want to use the reader for Ready Boost via USB? That all depends on the speed of the card you are using..
