🔗 Dazzle MultiMedia 6-in-1 Reader: Experience Lightning-Fast Data Transfer and Versatile File Management! Review

No installation required with Windows XP; reads CompactFlash and SmartMedia, the two formats I have, with no hiccups. But note: - There are only two slots (or drives) for all six formats. One slot is for IBM Microdrive and CompactFlash, the other for four different formats: Smartmedia, Memory Stick, Secure Digital and MultiMediaCard. For example, you cannot copy data from MicroDrive to CompactFlash or data from SmartMedia to Memory Stick. So, this must be taken into account when you want to…

I bought this a few years ago when my outdated camera port stopped working. It's very easy to use - just plug it into a USB port, insert your memory card and it will walk you through the process. Many computers and printers now have built-in readers, but if you don't have one this is a good, inexpensive, and easy solution.

Dazzle 6-in-One is perfect. I have used it to transfer photos/files from my husband's camera (Sony Memory Stick), from my camera (ComapctFlash) and from my Ipaq (SD card) and will try it with my new camera (SD card). It's a lot easier than lugging around a USB cable and every camera. This is one of the best purchases this non-techie has ever made. (I've had it for over 2 years with no problems.)

I chose this product because of a discount offer that came with the purchase of the product. I believe Dazzle will respect any third party discounts on their site. The product is compact and elegant and fits perfectly on almost any desk. I have already tested my SD and CF media and they work great. I'm no expert on data rates to ensure Reader --> PC speed, but I really don't think you can justify shelling out money for even a small performance boost. I am very happy with my purchase and now…

The instructions are really bad. However, I eventually found the problem of inserting my smart card the right way round when I actually had to enter Dazzle upside down. The images then magically appeared on my old Windows XP machine. Now I got photos of old smart cards from an Olympus digital camera that I no longer have. Hooray!

Just plug and play. Also, Dazzle Reader appears as a separate drive on Windows. Easily move files back and forth to the reader. The only flaw - stand - very thin. I wish they had a better stand but the product is great and at a great price.

At this price I can't think of a single complaint to seriously complain about. It is one of the few combo readers compatible with IBM Microdrive. Plus, with the included software application, it's the only reader that lets you archive your photos to removable or fixed media. Nothing like this existed a year ago at any price.

This reader (and author) is awesome! I bought this after returning the Biostar 6 in 1 reader from Newe*g. This device didn't read the two SmartMedia devices I had, but Dazzle beat it like a champ. I use it for Compact Flash and SM (4 different brands) and everything works great with Dazzle. After the discount, the price is hard to beat!

Old stock camera was very slow to load pictures (but it had a memory card). Approach of removable media to moving images. They've also upgraded to a new, faster computer running Windows XP, making plug-and-play installation and use a breeze.
