The card reader is a device that allows you to read data from memory cards. If you ever already use a reader, have you noticed that when connected through card reader the memory card visible just like a regular flash drive and no special software to work with it is not necessary. But not sold one kind of memory card, so the choice of reader must be approached carefully.

What types of scanners you can find in the sale?

First, the readers can be divided into internal (installed in the computer case connect to the motherboard) and external (connect cord to the USB port of the computer like keyboard, mouse).

Second, the readers can be divided according to the types of cards they support. You can find card readers for each type of memory card, but there are universal devices that allow you to work with multiple types of cards. If you are sure that you need only one card type for all your devices, you can buy a card reader just for them (most often, this card reader looks like a USB flash drive with the connector in order to insert memory card), but the universal reader will not spend money if there is a need to read data from the card of a different type.

Tip: types of cards supported by the reader, this is its main characteristic. Before buying a card reader, inspect all devices in which you use a memory card, record the type and in the store ask the seller to show you all the readers who supported the work with all your maps.

The operating system compatibility is also important. Before you pay money, please note that the box (or in the passport of the device), you have included all of the OS, which the software of the scanner can work.

And of course, I must say that it is possible to find readers a funny shape. Choose a reader as a gift to yourself or friends – such a useful toy at an affordable price will make the computer not only easier but also more fun.
