| Kingston 15-in-1 High Speed Reader |
|
On the plus side, the USB cable comes with a ferrite core filter which reduces interference on the USB signals. Not common but always welcomed. Its build quality is good, as far as plastic chassis goes. But the rubber feet they used are too small to cover the screw holes. They detach very easily. In fact, we already lost one of them. We wonder if they are covered under the magnificent 5-year warranty... All in all, this is a simple and compact card reader designed to provide fast accesses to a wide variety of flash memory formats. Kingston actually claims that it will handle even their SD Ultimate card which has a write speed of 133X (20MB/s). But just how fast the flash memory controller is, we will have to test and find out. Be sure to check back and see what we find when we put this card reader to the test! For more details, read our Pictorial Review! |

* Our New Review System
ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a new review system.
This new review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.
In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.
When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.
After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.
But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.
We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
