Review on BlueProton High Speed Compact Reader Writer by Russ Montgomery

Revainrating 1 out of 5

But it works. Best memory card reader

Bought for my wife to read CF cards on her new computer. The size of this reader is such that it was difficult to plug in without having to switch other USB connections. Since the USB ports were arranged in a 2 row by 3 column configuration, it had to be plugged into the bottom right port so the CF card wouldn't block the USB ports below and the reader itself wouldn't block the ports on the right blocked . It interferes a bit with the port on the right, but not enough to make it unusable. I should note that the two halves of the plastic case came apart after I had to reposition it in the computer. Because it works, I bought a 1ft USB extension cable that eliminates the port blockage. A drop of glue puts the case back together.

Pros
  • 4. Bus powered, no external power required
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
