Flash Memory Card Reader for PC Card slot recommendations?

#1 Post by Grandline » Thu Jul 21, 2005 3:36 pm

As you guys know, the T4xs don't have a built-in flash memory card reader. I was looking for a flash memory card reader that would fit into my PC Card slot. Need a reader for secure digital (SD)/MMC, Memorystick, and CF Type 1 cards. Any recommendations? Also please state the performance.


Thanks,

Grandline

AFAIK there is no PC card reader that will handle all those card types. However, I believe you can get a and adaptor that will let you use SD cards in CF slots, so you could use one of those with a CF PC card.

The cards themselves should be pretty cheap (here's one on ebay for $5 shipped:

) unless you want higher-speed cardbus version that are more expensive, around $40, but test out at 4-5x faster:

A less elegant but cheaper solution is a USB2 multi-card reader, should be able to pick one up for $10 these days.

That was good. It was helpful, especially the review. I now know where to get it.

Thanks again,
