Work perfectly. Great deal to read the mico memory cards

I purchased this to create own bootable USB stick to install OS. I have a bunch of Micro-SD cards, but not all of my computers have the slot. Now I pop one into this reader install an ISO with rufus, and up and going.Great product, and I really like that it is very compact.

Update, 13.Apr.2014:Rating still the same. Made some minor changes to my original review.I haven't really been able to find reviews for this reader that thoroughly address the issue of car connectivity [and I'll admit I gave a few a quick once-over and was just trying to key in on a few words]. I bought this item on a gamble because of that. I figured that for the price, if it wouldn't work with my car, I can always find another use for it, with barely a dent in my wallet.Allow me a tiny bit of backstory here: when I transitioned over from one mobile OS to another (from Android to WP8), I completely lost my USB audio streaming because my [then] car (a 2011 KIA Forte), only read audio from devices that allow USB Mass Storage upon device connect (Android does, WP8 doesn't, it uses Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), unreadable in every USB enabled car *I've* driven). It was was dangerous streaming music via my car's Bluetooth because that car only allows volume control via that method, I had to pick up my phone to change songs or reach over to the windshield mount and fumble with it that way. Totally unsafe, the focus should be on drivingI ordered the IOGEAR SD/MicroSD/MMC Card Reader/Writer GFR204SD and got it in the mail about three days after ordering [impressive]. As some other reviewers have noted, it does feel a little flimsy, and care should be taken to insert and remove it AS STRAIGHT AS YOU CAN from whatever device you use it in, especially when it's a very tight fit into the USB port.I think it's pretty cool you can use standard SD and Micro SD in it, but I opted to use my 16GB Micro SDHC from my old phone because standard SD sticks WAY out (be sure to insert the Micro SD upside down). The Micro SD still sticks out from the side of the reader about 1/4", and I'm curious to know why they couldn't have designed the reader to accept Micro SD from the rear of it so you won't accidentally tug on it when inserting/removing the reader.The SD and Micro SD work perfectly fine in this reader, and the transfer speeds are very impressive; instant, actually. It would take my old Galaxy S II about two minutes to sync with my [then] car once starting it, with about 2-6GB of music on it at any given time. My reader syncs my 7.25 GB collection as soon as I turn the engine over. and the quick, efficient sync has been consistent with every subsequent car I've used it in.Tracks pick up right where they left off when you start the car up again. Overall, truly excellent functionality, but loses a star were it not for the delicate feel to it and the awkward design that has memory cards jutting out at oblique angles that make me afraid I'm going to damage it or the card[s].I have bought another one since my original review because these things are so useful and handy. I definitely recommend.
