Rosewill RCR-IC001 40-in-1 USB 2.0 3.5" Internal Card Reader w/ USB Port / Extra Silver Face Plate

Pros: Works as should
Doesnt look cheap
Looks nice
Works well
Easy to install

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Great for the price wouldnt buy another brand.

Pros: This item worked perfect for me. You have to put this in perspective. It cost $8.00! It is an outstanding product for the price. I have used several SDHC cards in it. 8GB is the largest I have tried, but all worked just fine.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: It would be nice if they published the Max Memory size it will work with.

Pros: None

Cons: When I tried to put a CF card into the reader it immediately bent the pins inside because there is nothing to guide the card in straight. More than a mm of slop in the slot.

Pros: Worked really well when it worked.

Cons: This is my first and last Rosewill product. All of the Rosewill products on Newegg look really cheap. This card reader will no longer read SD cards.

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Stopped reading media soon after the warranty expired

Other Thoughts: This worked fine for a month or two. Now it won't read any media.

Pros: Inexpensive, transfers data quickly

Cons: Hard to align and insert Compact Flash card. Pins bent over

Other Thoughts: Worked well for inexpensive hardware until the pins bent over due to CF slot not aligned well. I am very glad I did not damage the CF card itself. I would choose a different reader if I had known the potential problem experienced. Rosewill has a good reputation but this item doesn't stand up to their normal quality.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: I bought it to import raw files from my Nikon DSLR, not too long after I installed it, I constantly received Windows event ID 11 and my computer would randomly froze for 10 -15 seconds, I googled for solutions and replaced SATA cables, power supply unit, and eventually the motherboard, none fixed the problem until one day I unplugged this piece of Rosewill craap, my computer is now running very smoothly, no event ID 11 or random freezes anymore.

Other Thoughts: The reader simulates HDD for CF card, however, their design / hardware / driver is flawed and not compatible with Windows 7.

Pros: None that I can think of

Cons: This thing never did work right. I just ignored it when it quit working 3 months after I bought it. I thought for the price it was not worth sending back. Recently I started having issues with other usb devices and traced it back to this Not so good hardware. I unplugged it from the motherboard and all my usb issues went away. I doubt I will ever buy anything with the Rosewill name on it again.

Other Thoughts: No Eggs for this one. I don't blame Newegg for this. Newegg is the best place to buy computer parts!

Pros: Looks nice and the technical support was quick to provide a replacement and eventual refund of my money.

Cons: Not much to say. This is the second Rosewill card reader I have purchased. The first one worked once. Got a replacement and... guess what? It worked once. Now, every time I start my computer I get an error message saying I have unknown hardware. I can get it to work only by un-installing the device, shutting down the computer, un-plugging the device, re-starting my computer, then shutting it down, re-installing the device and re-starting. Then it only works until I shut down the computer, then the problem resurfaces. What a pain.
