What this card reader handles

The IOGEAR GFR204SD is a 10-in-1 external card reader built for photographers and mobile users who need quick access to SD, SDHC, SDXC, MicroSD, MicroSDHC, MMC II, RS MMC, Ultra II SD, Extreme SD and Extreme III SD media. It connects through a USB 2.0 interface and requires no external power adapter.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Data moves at USB 2.0 High Speed rates up to 480 Mb/sec, so large batches of photos or video clips copy steadily without the slowdown that can appear on slower ports. The bus-powered design keeps the unit running as long as the host port supplies current, with no separate AC adapter to manage.

Check your ports and card types

Verify that your computer offers a USB 2.0 or compatible port and runs Windows XP, Vista, 7 or Mac OS 9.X and later for driver-free operation. This reader does not support CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SmartMedia or xD cards, so owners of those formats will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the GFR204SD draw enough bus power to run all day without an AC adapter?

Yes, the reader is bus powered and needs no external AC adapter, so it can stay connected to a USB 2.0 port continuously.

What host port must my computer already have for this reader to work?

A spare USB 2.0 Type-A port is required; the GFR204SD plugs directly into it with no extra cables or drivers on Windows XP through 7 or Mac OS 9 and later.

Will my older MMC and RS-MMC cards still read in the GFR204SD alongside newer SDXC media?

The two slots accept MMC II, RS-MMC, standard SD, SDHC, SDXC, MicroSD and MicroSDHC cards, so legacy MMC formats work in the same reader as current SDXC cards.
