Memory Card Readers
A card reader is a device which allows you to insert the memory cards used by devices such as Digital Cameras, Phones and games consoles into them to transfer data to and from your PC. A cable is almost always supplied with all devices intended to be connected to a computer. The transfer speeds using the supplied cable can often be low and result in it taking a very long time to copy over your data. If you have a good card reader into which you insert your memory card the process is considerably faster. Transferring 2GB (about 400 photos) straight onto a PC will take about 1/6th the time using a card reader.
