Kingston DataTraveller Reader 2GB Review

Occasionally, you pick up a product and simply think, - why has no one thought of this before? The DataTraveller Reader from Kingston falls firmly into that category. As Gordon reported earlier this month, it’s a USB based card reader that can accept all forms of SD cards, with the cool feature being that it has 2GB of flash memory embedded inside it.

The complete list of formats supported are SD, SDHC, MMC, and MMCplus and if you use an adaptor, you can insert miniSD, microSD, RS-MMC, MMCmobile and MMCmicro.

..As long as you think of it as a SDHC card reader with memory built-in rather than the other way round, Kingston’s Data Traveller Reader is a really neat idea. The build quality isn’t amazing, the internal memory isn’t the fastest and it’s a shame it’s SD only, but it’s still refreshingly innovative.
