If possible, I would prefer Lexar or Sandisk multi-card reader (hopefully I don't misunderstand your multicards here). But all in all, I don't like multicard reader since after connect the device, the multicard reader install too many drives on my lappy (I:, J:, K:, L: and etc if it has got more than 4 slots) 
and cause me confuse so often.

Crucial are usually a good brand for this kind of thing. Not the cheapest, but usually very fast and reliable.Alstrong said:Hello there, I was just wondering what you guys think is a good multi-card reader (external and/or internal). I have no idea what brands to "trust".

That's because it has to take into account that you might fill every slot with a memory card.

at least you should be able to go to disk management (in right-click on My Desktop / manage), and delete the useless drive letters.
you probable use only one type of memory card, maybe two.
from there you can have them mounted in a NTFS empty folder too.
so you could have C:\cards\SD-MMC, c:\cards\CF etc. rather than I:, J: etc.

That is the one giving me headache, since sometime my other external device that was configed need to reconfig again.BRiT said:My Dell multi-card reader is nice. It multi-functions as a 24" widescreen LCD too.
Its driver should do it automatically as we remove the drive, it should be unmounted. So, it will not hoax resource on the system.Blazkowicz_ said:
That's another option, but I would not go for it since I seem not trust XP disk manager. As my media is used outside as stand alone drive, how will it be safe for being mounted as a sub-volume? and I don't want to lose my worthy dataBlazkowicz_ said:

I have a lexar external one. Nice small and reliable.Alstrong said:Hello there, I was just wondering what you guys think is a good multi-card reader (external and/or internal). I have no idea what brands to "trust".
I also consider it a bonus that you plug the mini usb cable into it rather than it being wired directly, but that might just be me.

I don't trust Internet Explorer or Outlook express, which are terrible crap, but the disk management is more than OK to me, as a part of the solid NT system. think of Unix/linux, where you mount drives in the directory tree, windows NT added this feature. you can always revert your changes. or simply change letters (I use R: and S: for my CD drives)
