PNY Multi Slot USB Hub and Memory Card Reader

Come on what man doesn't love a device with blue lights??Sorry on a more serious note this is a very good little USB hub and card reader.It's very quick at reading my high speed SD cards (SanDisk Extreme III's) have had a usb webcam, memory stick and smart phone connected all at the same time with no trouble.It feels robust and very well made and given its made by PNY you know its a good brand.Worked with no problems at all straight out of the box.For this sort of money you cannot go wrong... oh, did I mention it also has blue lights??

A no fuss product

Have been using for a few months now. Does what it says on the tin and works great for me.Just a couple of things to note:* As I read on a previous review, you sometimes have to be careful iserting memory cards due to the alignment of the inside pins to the casing. Manage fine and seems okay with the SD cards I use. I tend to use Micro SD cards with a Micro SD > SD converter as it's easier to push them in & align and also I tend to use in camera with SD slots.* This does not support hot-plugging memory cards. This means you can't leave it plugged in when you insert a memory card. I wish it did support, as it would mean (with an extension lead, see below) I would be able to leave it on my desk plugged in. Every time you insert/remove memory card, you also need to unplug/plugin usb cable to the reader.* USB Lead is very short. very limiting in where you plug it in, and on a desktop PC can mean that you need to leave it dangling off it's cable which just doesn't seem right at all. Works fine plugged into extension cable but also need to make sure you unplug and plug in as per above.

I'm using this product to transfer photos taken on my camera (sd card) to my phone (apple) for quick access and posting to social media sites, and it's absolutely perfect.The box contains the actual device, a micro sd card adapter, a charging cable (you will need to plug it into a usb slot, so either a computer or a usb adapter plug - this is NOT included) a bag which fits everything in, and instructions [I have photographed all of these]The writing of the instructions is quite small, but the set up is easy enough. You have to charge it up first, then turn it on by holding the power button for 3 seconds. The battery and wifi lights should turn on & when they've stopped flashing they're ready. Then connect your device (I'm using my phone) to the wifi (the name of it and the password are written on the bottom of the product, these can both be changed in settings). Now put your sd card/usb stick in and open the files and view/save them.I haven't tried putting photos onto sd card or usb from my phone yet, or transferring any files other than photos.The only downside of this product is the app, which is in need of being updated. It's a little tricky to navigate, but once you know which buttons mean what, its fine.I would definitely recommend this product, especially to those who want to save/post photos on the go (like me!)

Works great but feels very flimsy. Also the cable is very short.

My old card reader had to be thrown out when a card snapped off inside so instead of getting the same one again I decided to get this one as it not only gives me the slots I need for my camera cards but also the three extra USBs and you can never have enough of them on the front of a desktop!! It has a long enough lead to plug in and sit on top of the tower instead of dangling in front like most do.

A quality product, as it’s well built and weighty enough to sit securely on a desk. USB 3.0 is very fast data transfer.

Seems to work fine (Linux) and was nice and cheap. Cable was quite short, so I have used a USB extension cable so I can put the hub on my desk.The cable is from the front of the hub though, which I don't quite understand. Surely you'd rarely put this in behind a computer, normally you'd put it closer to you, so at the side, front or top of the PC?The logo lights up blue. Which, although I suppose pretty, seems a bit pointless and then means you have a light showing all the time if you leave your PC on.
