Easy to set up (just connects to a USB 2 header), fits into a 3.5" bay/front panel, drivers install automatically.Although there are six slots, you can only use four cards at a time. Four drives will appear in 'My Computer' and they are as follows:- Compact Flash (CFI/CFII cards)- x-Picture (XD cards and similar)- SD (includes SDHC, micro SD, etc.)- MS (includes M2, MS Pro Duo, etc.)Note that the SD and Micro SD slots can't be used at the same time. Whichever card is entered first will be picked up by the SD drive, the other won't be recognised (until you remove the first). The same goes for the MS and M2 slots.When you first install it and the drives appear, they probably won't state which is which.

Does what it says. Startech say it "Supports any operating system" and indeed it works as it's supposed to on a PC dual booting both Windows 10 Pro 32bit and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit. I have it connected to the header port of a Sonnet Technologies FW8USB3 A USB 3.0 PCI Express Card Fire Wire 800) fitted to the PC.I chose this after looking at the CSL offering but that product had USB2 speeds for the card reader. By contrast, this Startech product is entirely USB3 which means that the full speed of some faster flash cards can be fully taken advantage of.

So far it's running just fine. It was simple enough to install and the drivers were automatically installed by Windows 7.Relatively well made for an inexpensive reader and it comes with enough cable to reach the USB sockets on the mother board.Tried it with SD and compact flash cards and though the CF cards are put in upside down they all read and write with no errors.The USB 2 socket is handy and works fast enough even though it's not USB 3.It's nice to no longer have trailing cables across the PC and desk for external card readers.

Good quality unit, it may cost a bit more than other card readers but you can transfer from one card format to another, but not same type of card.Mounted this unit with the matching adapter,but it took a while to ensure that the reader lined up correctly with the adapter, tolerances were a bit to big,but after a bit of fiddling everything looked good and I am more than happy with the units and look great in my coolermaster 120 case.

Startech have done it again (how come they are not more famous?) I've used this to provide win 98 gaming fun in an old PC but you could swap out the entire HDD in any installation with a big enough CF card I suppose. Talk about quick change and instant backup. Only criticism is that the manual is 'brief', there are two undocumented jumpers for 'DMA' and 'RST' that don't even feature in the literature.

Brilliant little card reader. All I wanted was a straightforward multicard reader. So many bundle USB 3.0 and the kitchen sink so you end up with a bunch of cables to connect. This just has a single USB header cable. Perfect, workd like dream. Can recommend 100%.Easy install, well made, simple.

Fantastic - have been looking for a way of fitting a cf card drive to an old desktop running some old dos software. So it replaced a a noisy old hdd and works perfectly well. I'm sure though the cf card will get worn out with lots of reads and writes but I think it's worth it.
