 Gets'er done October 22, 2007
I picked up this piece for a friend over in Mexico who still uses an older digital camera which takes the xd memory card. Otherwise there was no way to view the photos taken, including from Ground Zero over five years ago, which photos she had never seen until now.
Browsing around this magnificent and myriad amazon, I discovered this connector which works like a charm and gets'er done quickly. Just plug it into any USB slot with your xd card loaded and you are good to go. I explained to my friend how to ask permission from the skittish, oppressive and weak Windows/Intel environment before yanking this piece out of the USB slot, and I hope she will remember before causing addressing trauma to her or someone else's computer.
A great tool for anyone still running the xd cards. Couldn't be better.
Picture transfer unit October 20, 2007
Cheap, works well, transfered tons of digital pictures in Hawaii quickly.
Get one if you don't want to risk messing up your storage card or camera. I messed up a camera by pluging a storage card into the wrong slot of my PC and with this unit that problem goes away.
Easy File Transfer October 19, 2007
So much easier than hooking up the camera with a cable to the computer! Just remove the xd card from the camera and slide it in the reader and plug it into the usb port. It may be a bit slow when you get up to about a Gigabyte of files to transfer, but I love the convenience! I would buy it again!
Made downloading a snap! October 11, 2007
Downloading my Olympus digital camera to Olympus Master was a total pain but with this little memory stick, and the lgb memory card no matter how many pictures I take downloading is quick and almost instantaneous. Well worth the price and small enough to carry in your camera case.

UPDATE 12/25/07: The frustrating slowness of this reader finally drove me to search for a faster solution. I discovered, however, that hi-speed readers with a dedicated XD slot are rarer than hen's teeth. Mostly you'll find "XD compatible" readers that require an adapter for XD cards-which is great if you're in need of another small part to lose. No thanks. At last, though, my search came to an end and I'm happy to direct you to the perfect XD card reader... you'll find it right here: Edge All In One Reader with Xd and Sdhc It has blazing USB 2.0 transfer speed as well as dedicated slots for XD and many other card formats. (I was beginning to think that the XD card format may have been the reason for the slow transfer speeds, but now I know that's not true.) About the only possible downside to this reader is the short USB cable: at just a few inches long, it stows nicely in a slot along the side of the reader, but it obviously must be kept close to your intended USB port. Without exaggeration, I'd estimate that this reader is at least 10X faster than the Olympus.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Flash drive convenience and snail-like speed--that sums up this Olympic XD Card Reader. Believe the other reviews that complain about slowness. If you've got a dozen or so pics to download, no problem. But if you're in the habit of dumping a half gig or (god forbid) a full gig of photos onto your computer, then be prepared to wait... and wait... and wait. Very disappointing as compared to the high speed card reader that I use for my Memory Sticks, which is compatible with many other formats but (alas) not XD.
