Sony 17-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader MRW62E/S1/181

I just purchased this card reader from Amazon.com based on the reviews. It installed easily in Windows 2000 Pro SP4. I just plugged it in and the software immediately recognized it. I've read both a 2GB SD card and my Fuji camera 128 mb XD-Picture card with absolutely no problems whatsoever. This is so much easier than hooking up your digital camera to the computer. I love the straightforward design. The size is excellent. It's small enough to put in your camera case. The memory cards fit nicely into this unit. I record digital audio and I know what it's like to lose recordings due to faulty devices. Ask yourself, what are my pictures really worth because many of them are once in a life time shots. They can't ever be taken again. I decided not to chance losing those moments and memories due to some cheap or inexpensive device? I'm very pleased with the purchase so far and I'll update this review if I run into any concerns or issues.

The Sony MRW62E/S1/181 -is- fully SDHC compatible and works perfectly on Mac + PC. According to some of the very outdated reviews, this memory card reader was not compatible with SDHC cards. I can confirm that my Sony MRW62E/S1/181 (dated MAY2010 on the back, green LED up front) is fully SDHC compatible. It performed flawlessly with my SanDisk Extreme SDHC Class-10 8GB card and my Fujifilm SDHC Class-6 4GB card. I tried it on our Windows XP PC, Windows 7 PC, iMac, Mac Mini, and MacBook Pro laptop (all running Mac OS X 10.6.5 "Snow Leopard"). Skipped Windows Vista 'cuz we refused to use that crippled POSMSOS. I also tried the SanDisk UltraII 8GB and SanDisk UDMA 8GB CompactFlash (CF) cards, a couple Sony memory sticks, and an old 2GB xD card from an Olympus camera. They all worked fine through the Sony reader on our Macs and PC's. I like the fit and finish and quality feel of this Sony memory card reader compared to some of the less costly cheapies out there so I'm ordering another Sony reader today.

This product does not even deserve a review. I got ordered this on March 27, 2019, returned it on April 1, 2019 because it did not work. Got a return authorization to return it, I returned it but got no credit in exchange--actually nothing back. Guess there goes $74 bucks down the drain SO WHERES MY REFUND!!!!

I'm very happy with this card reader. I was looking for something that reads both Compact Flash (Extreme III, 4GB) and XD cards quickly. Many readers, especially the cheaper ones, don't read XD cards, and many don't handle some of the newer high speed CF cards very well. This one does it all, and handles many other card types as well. My Windows Vista computer recognizes it instantly and I didn't even need to install any new drivers. The cards fit snugly, but you don't need to force them in like you do on some of the lower quality (cheap) readers. I hesitated in ordering this reader because of the relatively higher price, but as they say, "You get what you pay for". And in this case, you get very good quality construction and technology. Well done Sony!

A very nice compact design that looks great sitting on your desk or computer. I mostly use it for my PSP (Pro Duo) and digital camera (SD). Top looks like convincing brushed aluminum, but it's plastic. LED power/access light is a nice green, not those annoying newer LEDs that burn your retinas out! I'd say it's perfect except some say it can't read SDHC which could be a problem for me in the future, and it comes with a REALLY short usb cable. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could, so 4 it is.

I bought this 17 in 1 memory card reader/writer and it one of the best card reader/writer i have ever owned. Software easy to install and the device is easy to use and works great with SD, Micro SD and Pro Stick Duo memory cards. One draw back before buying one is that it doesn't come with the USB cable to hook it up to your computer so you need to get one when you buy this device. Lucky for me it takes the same USB cable that my Sony PSP dose or i would of been out of luck till i ordered one. Other then that this is a great product to have.

Not impressed with product! Have Olympus XD card reader and the software is much simpler to use and much much more speed on downloads! It is not a simple process to use and format the memory card after download.

The unit has let me down. Especially for higher capacity cards (>=4GB). Sony support mentions that the memory card isn't good for 4GB or larger cards. SDHC cards also suffer under this reader. You're better off finding a more modern memory card reader.
