All-in-One Card Readers from Transcend and Kingston

The other day, information appeared on the Web about two rather interesting devices - card readers, which definitely should be paid attention to by the owner of an impressive collection of flash cards of various formats. One of the gadgets - Kingston Media Reader (with the “inventory” number FCR-HS219 / 1), is extremely functional, supporting 19 types of flash drives. The second one - M5 from Transcend, not only can work with maps of a huge number of formats (there are 19 of them, like the product of Kingston), but also pleases with a nice and stylish design.

The addition to the Kingston Technology media reader family has dimensions of 92 × 69 × 20 mm with a weight of 71 grams, is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface and works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista operating systems (there will not be enough). It is necessary to highlight the presence in the delivery of the device two cables: short (10 cm) for connecting to a laptop and an extension (about a meter).

As already mentioned, the main advantage of Kingston Media Reader FCR-HS219 / 1 is the support for 19 different types of flash cards. Here is the complete list: CompactFlash Type I and II, SD, SDHC, miniSD, miniSDHC, microSD, microSDHC, MMC, MMCmobile (DV RSMMC), MMCplus, MMCmicro, RS-MMC, Microdrive, Memory Stick Micro (M2), Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick PRO Duo.

The price of FCR-HS219 / 1 "all in one" is $ 17.

As for the product Transcend, called the M5, it is not only functional, but also looks very nice. The device boasts compactness (dimensions 70 × 70 × 15 mm) and a stylish body (also different colors - white and red or, as Transcend indicates, pink and ivory).

Unlike FCR-HS219 / 1, this device works not only with 2000, XP and Vista, but also with Windows 98SE / Me, Mac OS 9.x (and higher) and Linux Kernel 2.4 (and higher). Among the supported card formats there is a new standard MMC4.0. It does not make sense to give a complete list of formats, because of the coincidence with the one in Kingston Media Reader FCR-HS219 / 1.

The cost of this device (on the manufacturer's website, excluding taxes) is $ 14.
