Customer Reviews

Zeikos USB 2.0
Update: 4/18/10 After hundreds of uses I decided to buy another card reader when I gave this one away to a friend who had tried to download HC cards with a regular reader. I purchased the one linked below. I like it a lot better. It has a better feel for inserting and removing the reader into the computer and the SD card into the case. I recommend the Secure Digital over the Zeikos reader.

PQI USB 2.0 SecureDigital High-Speed (SDHC) Card Reader

I was a bit worried that it would be junk because of James review but I figured it was only $3, what the heck. I did not experience any of the problems that James did. My reader fit properly into the USB slot and performed properly. I like that you can put the cover over the back of the card reader and protect the SD card. I have used it with SD and SDHC cards without a problem.

If you have a question please leave a comment.

UPDATE: I have been watching the price of this card reader change by the day. At the time I wrote this review it was only $2.97. Now it is $4.97. I wish I ordered more.

12/20/09 Now it's $5.97. Still worth the price.

Update: 1/31/10 I am still using the reader almost daily and have not had any problems with it. I am concerned that I see so many bad reviews. Is it possible that I got a good reader and so many others got bad readers? My review is based on my experience. Please consider other reviews since the seem to be so many negative reviews now.

Works better than readers costing 5x as much
Great little reader for full-size SD/SDHC cards. Fast USB 2.0 high-speed reading and writing. I also like how the little LED on the reader will go out after you successfully "eject" the card, so you know it is safe to remove.


The dust cap over the card slot can be put back on with the card installed in the reader, making it look more like a "flash drive" than a card reader, and also avoids accidentally removing the card while reading/writing (the card is held in with just minimal friction).

I have tried this on a number of machines, with both SD and SDHC cards. A couple of laptops did require the use of the (included) extension cable because the reader would not otherwise fully insert into their recessed USB port.

Purchased several of these readers, none showed the problems with "the metal male end" reported by the other reviewer.

Functions Perfectly
I was a little reluctant to buy this card reader after reading some of the reviews. However, for the price, the very small risk made the purchase well worth it. When reading through reviews, I try and read between the lines and filter out what I feel could be biased.
Anyway. I bought two of these, one to carry in my camera bag and one to keep handy at my desk. I simply insert my SDHC card in the reader, plug the reader into my USB port and my pictures instantly appear. No problems, no hassles and this reader operates at a totally respectable speed. Would I buy them again? You bet!
