Minimalist SD Reader Also Looks Like a Toaster

There's usually nothing very interesting about transferring files off an SD card. But! Elecom's newest, adorable little reader lets you pop in four of your cards (SD, microSD, and miniSD) at once. Then, sit back and stare at them.

I dig the plain cube look (who wants their SD reader to stand out?) that makes the cards themselves part of the visual charm. And for $48, sucking down data off four cards at once (up to 64 GB at once) ain't such a bad deal.

  1. Its bulky, and not that attractive, not to mention totally overkill. I can't think of many people that carry 4 memory cards, and then require all by transfered at the same time. And anyway, its not saving anytime at all, is it? Would the data stream not be at its max capacity regardless of the number of cards being transfered?

  17. Hm... I'm not sure if the toaster design is really minimalist. This design makes it look a bit bulky.
